Writing for other small business entrepreneurs, Hammel (co-founder, Business Alliance for Local Living Economies) and Denhart (co-founder, Hanna Andersson children’s clothing company) argue
that businesses do best when they ＂grow local value＂ by partnering with all the various stakeholders in the business in order to promote the ＂triple bottom line＂ (people, planet, profits). They
give advice on and examples of best practices in chapters addressing each stakeholder group: customers, employees, vendors, fellow businesses, owners/investors, nonprofits, the environment, and
the public sector. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
