By: James E. Austin
    ShareBar

    Description

    This multiyear research project has been studying the creation and functioning of the organizations business leaders have created in order to mobilize their collective capabilities to address significant issues and problems facing them and their communities. These Business Leadership Coalitions (BLCs) have a strong social purpose but also create value to the businesses by strengthening their communities. The research has studied the evolution of BLCs in several major U.S. cities. Several publications have emerged: 'Business Leadership Lessons from the Cleveland Turnaround' (California Management Review; 'Business Leadership Coalitions' (Business & Society); Austin, James, and Arthur McCaffrey. 'Business Leadership Coalitions and Public-Private Partnerships in American Cities: A Business Perspective on Regime Theory.' (Journal of Urban Affairs).
