Abstract

Corpore citizenship is one of th latest frameworks to talk about the relationship between business and society.

Whether these opposing dirictions result in enhanced corporate performance and human fulfillment, or the thrat that David Korten has described of corporations ruling the world, will depend largely upon our ability to reform current organizations and create new ones
