Abstract

In a democracy, if growth and development are not perceived as sustainable, mutually
beneficial to stakeholders, fair and inclusive, businesses and the market itself may face
much greater questioning and challenge. The benefits of greater government
intervention could be problematic given the skill, experience and other barriers to the
effective implementation of public policy. In contrast, innovative, responsible and
sustainable responses from business leaders could lead to less intervention, greater
reliance upon market mechanisms and closer and more productive public-private
collaboration as each better understands and appreciates the contribution of the
other.
