Abstrakt: Organizations have long been focused on the utilitarian purpose of providing goods and services for financial benefit of shareholders. Yet a growing chorus calls for understanding both the societal and financial value of organizational adoption of higher purpose. Increasingly defined as holding a concrete vision of realizing moral and social outcomes along with financial objectives, this can motivate employees and lead to extraordinary returns to shareholders and society. However, cultivating and leading through higher purpose poses substantial and largely unexplored challenges. A panel of distinguished speakers from academia and industry will provide cutting- edge insights into the emerging area of research and practice regarding higher purpose. This will clarify conceptualization of higher purpose, along with tensions, challenges, strategic responses, and case studies of this emerging and important phenomenon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
