In A Social Contract with Business as the Basis for a Postmodern MBA in a World of Inclusive Globalisation, Jopie Coetzee places the MBA qualification on the centre stage of the 21st century's global challenges facing humanity. He makes three substantial and original contributions to the field of Business Leadership. Firstly, he introduces a new research methodology, termed critical metasynthesis. Secondly, he presents a new model, termed The Social Contract with Business as the raison d'etre for postmodern business. Thirdly, he develops a new educational context, a new vocabulary, as well as guidelines for a new canon of knowledge for business education and curriculum design for the postmodern MBA."

This book is about the Social Contract with Business as a means to deliver humanitys global sustainability mandate. From a well researched Socratic dialogue with todays leaders and thinkers in the West, East, and South emerged action-oriented answers to the questions: What kind of future does humanity want?; What society for such a future?; What business for such a society?; What business leader for such a business?; What education for such a business leader? This book is written for business leaders and for all other movers and shakers who wish to conduct their affairs in a business-like and meaningful manner.

The story we're telling is simple: as humans have globalized, family values have not scaled well. Not so many lifetimes ago, we lived in kin tribes where our interests were aligned according to the principles of inclusive fitness. Unfortunately, those principles are maladapted to our modern era, as fake news, fake foods, and fake politicians endemic in our society are catalyzed by the low alignment of interests among strangers. We wrote this book to help the world reimagine new types of social, political, and economic institutions for the global village. The social contract of the future will be based on the principles of inclusive stakeholding and vested interest in the success of others--attributes that were inherent in the inclusive fitness of our prehistoric social systems. The time has come for Interdependent Capitalism.
