The World Business Academy (WBA) is a not-for-profit institution established as a bridge among business, government, academia, and the public.
The Academy, headquartered in San Francisco, California, was established in 1987 as a result of a series of discussions and projects at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) International.
Its mission is to enable and support an ongoing dialogue on the changing role of business in a transforming society.
The Academy sponsors and disseminates leading-edge research by scholars and business thinkers on issues pertinent to this dialogue.
The WBA functions as a working partnership and brings together business executives and entrepreneurs with the Academy's Fellows - leading thinkers, writers, visionaries, and scholars from around the world.
Video: The Story of Stuff
The Story of Stuff: From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.
