"""Transformative Action for Sustainable Outcomes: Responsible Organising arrives at a time when despite warnings about the urgency of addressing sustainability challenges, progress is hampered by powerful market-based logics that value profits over people and the planet, missteps, reluctant political leadership and even denial. It provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary understanding of the central role of organising in accelerating action towards a sustainable world free of inequalities, rampant economic pursuit, and the degradation of the quality of life, work and the environment. The chapters in the book push us to think knowledgeably, responsibly, radically and broadly about the complex meaning of sustainability and how responsible organising can make a difference towards sustainable outcomes. The book is a must read for scholars, students and all those seeking critical, transformative ways of organising for sustainability."" Stella M. Nkomo, University of Pretoria, South Africa ""Creating transformational change is difficult because the sustainability challenges we are facing are global, intersectional and long-term. Individual action is a good starting point but we need change at scale. This requires organising and working across communities, institutions, and national borders. This book provides a fantastic collection of interdisciplinary, innovative, and critical approaches to sustainability transformations, challenging business-as-usual thinking and practice. I recommend this book to anyone interested in sustainable development and the future of the planet."" Steffen Boehm, University of Exeter Business School, UK ""This book delivers an amazing series of thought-provoking analyses of the concept of responsible organising and provides a compelling collection of reflections on why we need to focus more on process and why we need to view sustainable development as a relational concept, including the nonhuman perspectives. It is a must read for anyone interested in being wiser on the complexity and possible solutions in our responses to responsible organising."" Mette Morsing, PRME (Principles for Responsible Management Education), United Nations Global Compact, New York ""This book investigates how corporate responsibility and responsible organising can assist meeting the core sustainability challenges of human inequalities and engagement with nature. From a breadth of disciplinary and national perspectives it offers a rich variety of practical suggestions with a compelling overall case for the re-discovery of politics in the organisation of markets."" Jeremy Moon, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark"
