This chapter introduces the seven stages of business growth and development and looks at business transformation and how to develop a transformation strategy. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is also discussed and is broken down into four main types of responsibility: ethical/human rights social responsibility, philanthropic corporate responsibility, economic corporate responsibility and environmental corporate responsibility. Business owners are asked to consider how their businesses are responsible and where there is room for improvement. This chapter goes on to explore accountability, from what it means, to the benefits of accountability and how to create a culture of accountability.
