Many companies fail to anticipate activism, and they flounder on first contact. Mark R. Kennedy examines the different languages that shapeholders and companies speak and their contrasting metrics for what constitutes acceptable business practice. Executives, he argues, must be visionaries who find collaborations to diffuse tensions.
