Grow the Pie

How Great Companies Deliver Both Purpose and Profit
Book • 2020
In this book, Alex Edmans presents a compelling case that companies do not have to choose between generating profits and serving societal needs.

He introduces the concept of 'Pieconomics,' which emphasizes growing the aggregate benefits (the 'pie') rather than just redistributing them.

Edmans provides evidence-based analysis and practical advice on how businesses can integrate social responsibility into their core operations, align executive incentives with long-term goals, and use practices like share buybacks strategically.

The book is grounded in rigorous research and includes numerous case studies and examples to illustrate how companies can achieve sustainable success while contributing to societal well-being.
