Natural corporate management (NCM) is an awareness and an acceptance by the managers of today s business corporations of the close functional linkage between natural forces and human economic choices. NCM is not a set of techniques or methods but is a growing consciousness by managers of the presence and influence of nature on all managerial decisions. NCM is operative in all phases of corporate management and all aspects of organizational operations. Natural Corporate Management: From the Big Bang to Wall Street presents readers with an Evolutionary Cascade. The Cascade depicts the various phases of evolutionary change physical, chemical, biological, symbolic occurring chronologically beginning with the Big Bang origin of the universe, the beginning of earthly life, Darwinian natural selection, genetic dynamics, human origins, brain evolution, symbolic human culture, organizational design, market transactions, and corporate policy choices. These Cascade phases collectively influence the operational activities of all business firms. A Natural Theory of the Firm summarizes the NCM approach, the operational mind-set of corporate managers, and the bio-socio-economic consequences of their decisions. This leading-edge book is an agenda of corporate actions to promote long-term sustainability and economic well-being for business, its stakeholders, and planetary citizens everywhere. It will be essential reading for managers and researchers at all levels who wish to engage seriously with the challenges of sustainability.
