Radical Business: A New Look at Social Enterprise and Positive World Impact by David Gaines
Do you have, work for, or dream of starting a business or organization that positively impacts the world while also turning a profit?
Radical Business is a blueprint for business owners and businesses ready to usher in a newer, practical form of doing business. By learning more about what a social enterprise is and how it can apply to any business, employee, activist, consumer, or citizen, we can use the golden rule as a catalyst for a different mindset.
Radical business is not a brand new operational system, it's a way of returning to the root or origin. A genuinely radical business goes back to its root purpose: to meet a customer's need, solve a problem, and provide value.
David Gaines outlines his Seven Seeds framework for a truly radical business model, including:
-?Supply Chain: Behind Every Product Is a Story
-?Employees: Successful Brands Are Built By Happy
-?Customers: What is Ethical Marketing?
-?Community: Fostering Healthy Interdependence
-?Competitors: A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats
-?Environment: Rethinking the Costs & Benefits to GoingGreen
-?Self: True Sustainability Requires Self Care

He provides actionable steps towards making a positive impact with in-depth analysis of supply chain, employee, customer, competitor, communal, and environmental interactions.
