About the Author
Bruce Piasecki
Welcome to the most important and underreported business story of this century. Are you ready to be a consumer in this new global equity culture? Is your business ready to be a player? World Inc. is a glimpse into the near future. Those companies that embrace and excel at social response will be the business success stories of our time.
Bruce Piasecki is the author of five previous seminal books on business strategy, valuation, and corporate change, including the Nature Society's book of the year, In Search of Environmental Excellence: Moving Beyond Blame (to be re-released in April 2008 by Sourcebooks). His business articles have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Baltimore Sun, Technology Review, and Christian Science Monitor.
With his latest book, World Inc.: When It Comes to Solutions — Both Local and Global — Businesses Are Now More Powerful Than Government (to be published by Sourcebooks in April 2007), Dr. Piasecki examines a striking new phenomenon in socially responsible capitalism. As power moves increasingly into the hands of business, the world is looking to corporations instead of governments to solve its problems. World Inc. discovers the ways in which those corporations that can best address social issues (by creating superior products) will thrive and profit in this new world. This is an eye-opening book for business and social leaders alike.
Dr. Piasecki is the President and Founder of The AHC Group, Inc., a top energy and environmental consultant to companies such as Toyota, BP, Chevron, DuPont, and Dow Chemical. The firm has specialized in energy, materials, and environmental corporate matters since 1981. Since 1990, Dr. Piasecki and his staff have run hundreds of benchmarking workshops for numerous multinational Corporate Affiliates, involving key executives in site remediation, power markets, emerging issues, and governance concerns since Enron.
His 1995 book, Corporate Environmental Strategy, attracted considerable attention from change agents and board members among his client and affiliates network. Thus, since that groundbreaking work appeared, Dr. Piasecki has moved his work in the fields of environmental and energy strategy closer to financial markets and mainstream financial diagnostics. The AHC Group has done this through a series of key alliances, including a multiyear agreement with INNOVEST and Island Press.
