The author argues that economic, social, and environmental sustainability needs to be integrated into value-centered management. Sustainable value creation with leaders and managers leads to sustainable growth for 21st century managerial practices aiming to benefit both shareholders and stakeholders.

Subsidiarity, to the contrary, is a much more realistic and morally tenable approach to global poverty.
