The Corporate Social Mind

How Companies Lead Social Change from the Inside Out

By: Derrick Feldmann,Michael Alberg-Seberich

One Voice, United Efforts, and a Social Mindset The Corporate Social Mind introduces a new cultural and strategic approach to social issue engagement by companies. Today’s social issues require a different mindset—one that builds on the expertise of both corporate social responsibility and marketing teams to achieve impact and public/consumer action for social change. This book helps corporate leaders design approaches that bring these crucial teams together by showing them how to build stronger campaigns, moments, and initiatives that positively change the world. The Corporate Social Mind helps leaders of both corporate social impact and marketing teams move beyond their own ways of thinking and come together to address social issues through a mindset that embeds key traits into daily work. Business as a whole, from research and innovation to marketing, can drive positive social change in society when it is integrated into the way we work. In The Corporate Social Mind, Derrick Feldmann and Michael Alberg-Seberich each bring together 20+ years of work on social issue campaigns, in marketing, in movements, and in social impact spaces to help companies leverage assets for positive social issue progress. You’ll see how key companies have done this and how every leader, no matter the industry, can establish a culture in which this is the mindset.

Climate Change and the Foods We Love and Need

By: Michael P. Hoffmann,Carrie Koplinka-Loehr,Danielle L. Eiseman

Our Changing Menu unpacks the increasingly complex relationships between food and climate change. Whether you're a chef, baker, distiller, restaurateur, or someone who simply enjoys a good pizza or drink, it's time to come to terms with how climate change is affecting our diverse and interwoven food system. Michael P. Hoffmann, Carrie Koplinka-Loehr, and Danielle L. Eiseman offer an eye-opening journey through a complete menu of before-dinner drinks and salads; main courses and sides; and coffee and dessert. Along the way they examine the escalating changes occurring to the flavors of spices and teas, the yields of wheat, the vitamins in rice, and the price of vanilla. Their story is rounded out with a primer on the global food system, the causes and impacts of climate change, and what we can all do. Our Changing Menu is a celebration of food and a call to action—encouraging readers to join with others from the common ground of food to help tackle the greatest challenge of our time.

The Changing World of Farming in Brexit UK

By: Matt Lobley,Michael Winter,Rebecca Wheeler

The 2016 referendum resulted in a vote for the United Kingdom to withdraw from the European Union. This has led to frenzied political debate across the whole spectrum of policy, and agriculture is no exception. For the first time in a generation, the future of agriculture is unclear and unfettered by the constraints and incrementalism of the Common Agricultural Policy. This book makes an empirical contribution to the Brexit debate, bringing a social dimension to agri-Brexit and sustainable agriculture discourses. Understanding the social in the context of farmers is vital to developing a way forward on food security and agricultural sustainability. Farmers are the recipients of the market and policy signals that link to global uncertainties and challenges. This book is a commitment to understanding farmers as occupiers and managers of land. Chapters in this book explore farmers’ own aspirations and knowledge about patterns of land use and production, which underpin discussions around the environment and sustainability. There is a deficit in understanding what kind of agricultural industry we now have, following years of restructuring and repositioning. This book is an attempt to address that deficit and will appeal to students and researchers exploring agriculture, food politics and rural sociology.
