The primary goal of this comprehensive book is to present a novel and innovative framework for company management, encompassing internal and external stakeholders, as well as social responsibilities, in response to the transformative forces of digital transformation, the shift towards a knowledge-based economy, and the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 crisis. With a holistic and contextual perspective on business, this text contributes significantly to the development of theories and practices related to company management, stakeholder engagement, and social responsibility. Structured into 12 chapters, the book offers a comprehensive exploration of these critical areas.

The foundation of the original company management vision, approaches, and tools rests upon three pillars: a paradigm shift from a manager-centric to a manager-relevant stakeholder perspective; the adoption of a new type of company social responsibility that goes beyond corporate social responsibility; and the recognition of company-relevant stakeholders as the focal point, rather than salient stakeholders. Within this framework, the book introduces two groundbreaking managerial mechanisms: the managerial synapse and the company-relevant stakeholders-based management system. These mechanisms are designed to empower companies and stakeholders to navigate the complexities of digital transformation and the COVID-19 crisis with resilience and effectiveness, ultimately enhancing organizational functionality and performance.

This book holds immense appeal to a wide range of professionals, including company managers, management specialists, management academics, consultants, and researchers, as well as MBA students who are passionate about integrating social responsibility into their management style. Its comprehensive coverage and insightful perspectives make it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to stay ahead of the curve in today's rapidly evolving business landscape.
