Example text
This book deals with the global business. It focuses on how to take the vibrant corporate community proposed in Reinspiring the Corporation and turn it into an enduring global corporate society. Despite their laggardliness in getting to grips with their social identity, companies do have a window of opportunity created by the uncertainty surrounding the future of the Nation State itself. The Nation State may still reign supreme but its supremacy is not unquestioned. The political process has had to evolve from defending national self-interest in the traditionally xenophobic fashion.
We all like to think that we have a past to be proud of. It is part of a positive sense of self-worth. In the case of national societies, that continuity is manifested in a plethora of enduring characteristics – from the orchestrated pageants, to celebrations of history, through to more embedded traits such as ‘old wives’ tales’ and turns of phrase. At every turn there are continual reminders of our social past and the appreciation of that past binds us together as a society. The principle of pastness even extends to the law.
The core basis of the citizen–state contract is, of course, that set of social rules called the law. The law is an explicit code governing our relationships with each other and with the state itself. The legal system tends to be unique to each Nation State – a sort of indigenous social DNA. But at heart the legal process is about ensuring that we behave in a way that is compatible with the general good. We could, after all, probably benefit most decisively in the short term by pursuing entirely selfish goals – whether driving down bus lanes or forging signatures on cheques.
