New faculty releases

Increasing pressure on senior executives for continued growth is creating an unenviable dilemma of maximizing stakeholder value and being a fiscally savvy steward. The result is increased emphasis on organic growth, the concept of growing a business internally. Robert Kazanjian, professor of organization and management, tackles this topic in a new book, The Search for Organic Growth, which identifies the problems of organic growth and proposes conceptual as well as practical approaches to these problems. The book, co-edited with Goizueta’s Edward Hess, is a compilation of chapters written by leading scholars working on growth-related issues and senior executives from two successful growth companies.

In Leading With Values: Positivity, Virtue & High Performance, Hess, adjunct professor of organization and management and founder and executive director of the Center for Entrepreneurship and Corporate Growth, uses a collection of company stories to explore how values-based organizations are created and sustained. One such company is HomeBanc Mortgage Company, whose formula for success is putting their associates first, over money and profits.

Both books will be published by Cambridge University Press and are scheduled for release this summer.
