Today’s best companies get it. From retail to finance and industries in between, the organizations who recognize that doing good is good business are becoming the ultimate value creators. They’re changing their culture and generating every form of value that matters: emotional, experiential, social, and financial. And they’re doing it for all their stakeholders. Not because it’s simply politically correct, because it’s the only path to long-term competitive advantage. These are the firms of endearment. Companies people love doing business with, working for and collaborating with as partners. Since the publication of the First Edition, the concept of corporate social responsibility has become embraced as a valid, important, and profitable business model. It is a trend that has transformed the workplace and corporate world. This Second Edition updates the examples, cases, and applications from the original edition, giving readers insight into how this hallmark of the modern organization is practiced today.

The Intellikine case study provides an example of a biotech company where its management team, founders, and investors sold the company at a relatively early stage of the company's development. In early 2012, Troy Wilson, the CEO of Intellikine sold the company to Millennium: The Takeda Oncology Company, Takeda's business unit responsible for global oncology, strategy, and development. The deal was for as much as $310 million (Millennium would pay $190 million upfront, with an additional $120 million dependent on clinical development milestones). By 2011, the Intellikine team had advanced three programs into human clinical testing. The key question for students is whether Wilson and his team sold the company too early or not. Various perspectives and the company strategy and execution are provided in the case study to allow students to have a fruitful discussion on each side of the argument.
