The Center for Business as an Agent of World Benefit is part of the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University.
The Center was launched on June 24, 2004—the same day that Weatherhead faculty and students facilitated the United Nations Leaders Summit with the UN Secretary General and 500 CEOs from many of the world’s largest corporations. Through research, education, and advanced projects with industry leaders and policy makers, the Center was created to advance extraordinary business and society innovation, helping to revolutionize the ways business will eradicate poverty, replenish and restore nature, and build foundations for peace through commerce.

“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“In business everyone is out to grab, to fight, to win. Either you are the under or the over dog. It is up to you to be on top.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

—Bill Cosby (20th century)
“A great world leader is gone. Liberty loving people around the globe are sad tonight. We are strengthened in the thought of President Roosevelt’s work for little people everywhere.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“The laboring man and the trade-unionist, if I understand him, asks only equality before the law. Class legislation and unequal privilege, though expressly in his favor, will in the end work no benefit to him or to society.”
