What does a truly global manager today need to know to lead responsibly? How does he or she develop the core management competencies needed? This book uses the UN Global Compact and its Ten Principles as an overarching framework for understanding the issues facing global business managers today. Drawing on the knowledge of contributors from different parts of the world, the book shows readers the intersection between business and the major global issues of our timeùhuman rights, labor, the environment, anti-corruption and briberyùand most critically, how to address these issues in the day-to-day running of their operations.
