DJ has tear at top of front flap fold.. xi, 287, [1] p. Illustrations. Index. "Business as Usual" charts the progress of Roddick and her company, The Body Shop, through the last decade and shares her vision of how business can successfully evolve in a new millennium filled with vigilante consumerism. Ranging from personal issues--such as making it as a woman and the tyranny of the beauty business--to wider political issues, Roddick believes we should never underestimate the power of public pressure to create change. 50 two-color metallic integrated halftones. More than just an autobiography or a book about business, the author also addresses personal issues-such as self-esteem-and wider political issues like the human rights' abuses associated with globalization. While offering her own vision for dealing with the demands of ethical business, Roddick also looks at the way public consiousness is now steadily forcing corporations to re-evaluate their actions. Proceeds from this book are going towards supporting visionaries, grassroots groups, and non-governmental organizations who are debunking myths created by the World Trade Organization.
