Publisher's Synopsis
Britain has a long tail of underperforming companies, too many of whom are not nearly as good as they like to think they are. And the prime responsibility for turning this around lies with business. - - This is the conclusion of the Inquiry team - chairmen, chief executives and other senior executives from 25 of Britain?s top businesses - who came together to form the RSA Inquiry Tomorrow?s Company. - - The Inquiry team has developed, tested and refined a shared vision of tomorrow?s company, and of its inclusive approach. They have now published their findings as a Report, together with a series of agendas for action as the basis for a fundamental review of the competitive position of UK business, based on the experience of those who run top companies and those who influence the running of such companies. The principles adopted apply equally to any business, large or small, incorporated or not. - - There is deepening public concern with various aspects of the way in which business behaves. The Inquiry has therefore considered how tomorrow?s company will achieve sustainable success in a world which is not only increasingly competitive, but also increasingly critical and vigilant of business standards. - - The Inquiry Report argues that the companies which will sustain competitive success in the future are those which focus less exclusively on financial measures of success - and instead include all their stakeholder relationships, and a broader range of measurements, in the way they think and talk about their purpose and performance.
