Abstract

What motivated us to put together this collection of essays on social responsibility, entrepreneurship and the common good? Why is it important to confront these three themes? Because we feel, along with many others, that the time for reinventing business has come; and this implies thinking differently, jumping across the comfortable barriers of management subdisciplines, seeking the intersections between areas that usually do not communicate. The ongoing evolution of international events seems to confirm this feeling. As we are in the process of finalizing the manuscript of this book, the political turmoil in Maghreb and Arab countries is still expanding in the wake of the Jasmine Revolution that erupted in Tunisia in January 2011 before spreading to Egypt, Libya and other Middle Eastern countries. The peoples of these countries need responsible business entrepreneurs who will be capable of devising new ways to build sustainable economies to serve the common good.
