The Social Affairs Unit - Publications List: Good Companies Don’t Have Missions

Good Companies Don’t Have Missions

Digby Anderson, 2000
ISBN 0 90763190 8
28 pages, £6

Examines corporate mission statements and finds many wanting. Too often they ignore the shareholders and speak of the companies ‘obligations’ to myriad stakeholders, often in vacuous and grandiloquent language. Corporations should be honest about their purpose, and extol the very real benefits corporate capitalism has brought.

“The Social Affairs Unit is famous for driving its coach and horses through the liberal consensus scattering intellectual picket lines as it goes [and] for raising questions which strike most people most of the time as too dangerous or too difficult to think about.” (The Times)
