Unforgettable: New Rules for Business Storytelling solves a vexing business problem: how do you tell exceptional stories in a corporate environment? The age-old advice that works for novelists and how-to authors doesn't translate well to the business world. Mainstream authors aren't immersed in a tug-of-war between case study production and authentic storytelling. They don't need to reach different audiences at various altitudes, and they don't battle against firmly entrenched yet classically dull marketing lingo. Perhaps most important, they don't face the same type of political battles.Author Elaine Brammer shares everything you need to know to publish truly great stories. You will discover when to tell a story, when not to, and how to nail a storyline. You will master new video skills and learn fresh techniques to hook your audience from beginning to end. And finally, you will learn to finesse your way through business hurdles such as release forms, review cycles, and legal approvals.

Current models of corporate citizenship largely consider business as one coherent entity. This view of business as a corporate force overlooks the growing evidence that most businesses are run by families. Family businesses are the most common form of business in existence - across countries, continents and geopolitical divides - and yet we know remarkably little about their approach to corporate citizenship. Where families run businesses, they create a concentration of family values that - for good or ill - influence the way business practices and behaviours develop. The role of the family in business has, therefore, an influence on the development of society that is partially mediated through corporate citizenship. This book pulls together current thinking from several diverse research fields that intersect with family business research to offer insight into current research and examples of practice for those studying and researching in the fields of family business, business values and corporate practice. The book will also explore the fact that family businesses tend to take a longer-term approach to business and that this is reflected in their behaviour towards the environment, community engagement, employee development and innovation.Bringing together contributions from researchers in the diverse fields of family business, philanthropy, community engagement, corporate social responsibility, innovation and policy, this book explores the many ways in which family businesses contribute to the corporate citizenship agenda.

In effect business is part of the problem and a solution as well. It is necessary to quickly and effectively push for action taking into account the power of responsible business to co-create human live and environment. Both the theoretical considerations and the practice-based studies presented in this monograph make a significant contribution to the theory and practice of management. The book is an extension and enrichment of the existing knowledge in the field of socially responsible management in organizations. Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability will be of value to academics, researchers and advanced students in the fields of business and management, especially those interest in the intersection of management and CSR and sustainability, and those focusing the impact that business activities have on the environment.
