Business, Society and Global Governance cover

Business, Society and Global Governance is a thoroughly revised and updated new edition of Building Business–Government Relations: A Skills Approach to ensure this successful book continues to be the go-to textbook introducing US business–government relations in the institutional context of the United States. Written from a practitioner’s perspective, it provides historical, descriptive, and comparative accounts of the public and private sectors, the different roles government plays with business (including several conceptual models to contextualize the two sectors), and various economic policies associated with business. Business–government relations are considered through three different social economic contexts: the socio-political arena, local economic development, and the global market.

This new edition includes:

  • Extended coverage of the role of nonprofits
  • The Trump "era" and effect of the Biden presidency
  • The positive and negative effects of technology in society and the increasing role of disinformation
  • COVID and the role of government in crises

In the course of discussion, a set of skills, such as searching government jobs, starting a business, analyzing stakeholders, ethical reasoning, advancing a business agenda, leveraging public resources, contracting with government, interpreting global trends, doing business abroad, and leveraging international resources, are introduced and exercised.
