mutual self-interest

閱讀筆記(Notes):
  • They also suggest that, in an interconnected world with greater scientific, technological and educational ties, mutual self-interest can forestall certain problems before they become worldwide shocks. There is certainly some evidence for this in our latest CEO Survey, where 73% of CEOs favour collaboration with their peers to address climate change. ...

    Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management, AUDI AG, puts the case for mutual self-interest particularly powerfully. He believes that one of the biggest future challenges facing business leaders is dealing with growth in a responsible way:

    ‘What should we be doing now so that we can pass along an inhabitable planet for our children and grandchildren?… [And]… do we have enough trust in one another to prevent another war? As we’ve seen in our hemisphere, without war we have made immeasurable progress over the last 50 or 60 years. Elsewhere, we can see what damage war can cause. If we can, little by little, bring prosperity to many people, while managing the earth’s resources in a responsible way, this will lead to sustainable growth and satisfaction for us all.’

    Mutual self-interest is a powerful starting point for successful collaboration. Given the objectives of all parties, it is clear that mutual self-interest often exists; by working together, government, regulators and companies can achieve a better outcome than they could in isolation.
