There is a conflict of interest between the public sector and investors, and we cannot get it right. (Gerald Corbett, Railtrack Chief Executive). Is it inevitable that the demands of their shareholders will always put successful businesses at loggerheads with the public interest? This book brings together two former opponents, from opposite sides of the debate, to discuss the value of a stakeholder approach and how it can help companies operating at the interface between private enterprise and public interest. Des Wilson, founder of Shelter and former Chairman of Friends of The Earth, has a history of radical campaigning and environmentalism. John Egan, the former Chief Executive and saviour of Jaguar and now Chairman of the Centre for Tomorrow's Company has a background in tough buccaneering business leadership. Together they review recent cases and controversies and argue that the choice between shareholder value and stakeholder accountability is unnecessary. To illustrate this approach in action they draw on their experience together on the board of the British Airports Authority as it negotiates the terminal 5 enquiry (the biggest enquiry of its kind in the world).
