Additional text
"Indigenous perspectives are not generally found within business schools. This book addresses that deficiency. It demonstrates how Indigenous peoples can be key partners in global prosperity and sustainability. It is a must read for every business student and practitioner."
John Borrows, member of the Chippewa of the Nawash First Nation, and Canada Research Chair on Indigenous Law at the University of Victoria
"Practical and insightful, this book uniquely addresses failures, challenges and opportunities around business interactions with Indigenous peoples, providing better frameworks to help align Indigenous perspectives and business interest with positive and sustainable outcomes for all. Through the bringing together of relevant cases, in-depth Indigenous perspectives, and a comprehensive understanding of PRME, the UN Global Compact frameworks and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, this book is an essential resource for any business professor, student or practitioner."
M. Florencia Librizzi, Senior Manager, PRME Secretariat, UN Global Compact, USA
"This book is an invitation to be in the vanguard of deep change within management education. It represents a brave and undaunted commitment to the planet, and it enables us to learn from failure and to challenge notions of success. The editors have curated a work that fills a void in management education, a void that can no longer be ignored. This work is a precious opportunity to listen to the stories of Indigenous peoples and their counsel, and take the step in being a kaitiaki, a steward of the planet and of people through responsible management education."
Chellie Spiller, Associate Dean (Māori and Pacific) University of Auckland Business School, New Zealand
"Indigenous Aspirations and Rights brings together leading global scholars to address issues surrounding the emergence of Indigenous economies. This book will be of interest not only to those who wish to understand Indigenous entrepreneurship and management, but to those who also wish to explore ways in which Indigenous perspectives can inform business practices in the mainstream global economy."
Daniel Stewart, Member, Spokane Tribe and Professor of Management, Gonzaga University Director, Hogan Entrepreneurial Leadership Program, USA
