Description: Frugal value contests the notion that companies can rise to the great challenges of our time by adopting so-called "sustainable business" practices. Instead, the acute ecological crisis requires an all-round rethink of what business does, and how it does it. This book explores what business responsibility looks like today, ranging from new approaches to product design and business models to reconfiguration of operations and innovative ownership structures.
