Description
In this thesis a new explanation is developed as to how corporations achieve specific effectiveness criteria through the harmonization of their financial and moral based goals. Findings are drawn from simultaneous case studies conducted over three years in two companies, one public and private. Based on the position that corporations are moral agents, a theoretical framework is developed and validated, which explains how effectiveness and goals are interrelated but separate constructs dependent on the common good of the organisation for their achievement. The thesis therefore provides a basis to understand how a corporation must not only do well but do good to be sustainable in modern society.
