People and Profits?: The Search for a Link Between a Company’s Social and Financial Performance

Margolis and Walsh (both teach business administration) seek to answer the question ＂can a firm effectively attend to both people and profits?＂ by assembling a survey of 95 empirical studies on the topic published since 1972 and compiling their findings into comprehensive tables. The authors provide an overview of the field and the 95 studies in initial chapters, and a bibliography and appendix of abbreviations at the end of the book. Annotation c.
