The Management Case for Inclusionary Corporate Purpose
Columbia Law School's Blue Sky Blog
(2021)
Abstract
The most vital and deeply practical argument for more broadly understanding corporate purpose comes from the management literature and the data on how to motivate people in organizations. Put simply, people in organizations do not work as hard or come up with as many innovations for companies unless they see themselves as part of a broader purpose beyond wealth maximization for shareholders.Â
