| - 'The two British authors...are able to present their thoughts in a distinctly straighforward manner, which is not always the case with their academic peers... In fact, there's enough solid material on the subject to almost make you think you could tutor a degree course with just this book at your side.' - Ethical Performance

| Description | | - An array of pedagogical features and online resources take the text beyond the scope of existing corporate responsibility literature, providing much needed support for students.
- Offers a comprehensive treatment of corporate responsibility with a clear focus, summarising and comparing the different interpretations of corporate responsibility and management approaches, ensuring a thorough understanding of the field.
- Takes a critical approach to the subject enabling students to debate and discuss issues, thereby developing their critical analysis skills.
| This much needed textbook examines the multiple dimensions to corporate responsibility. It creates a framework that presents a historical and interdisciplinary overview of the field; a summary of different management approaches; and a review of the key actors and trends worldwide.
The authors take a critical perspective and successfully provide a balance between theory and practice. They
offer comprehensive coverage of the subject, combining an insightful, interdisciplinary, approach with the pedagogy and support sought after by students.
An online resource centre will accompany the text, comprising weblinks, new legislation, further reading, email listservs and links to courses for students, and case studies and essay questions for lecturers. |
Readership: Postgraduate and final year undergraduate students taking modules entitled corporate social responsiblity, corporate responsibility and business and society. Such modules may sometimes appear under titles such as 'management with social goals', or be linked with related subjects such as business ethics. The content could also be applicable for more general modules in areas such as strategic management where there is a high CSR focus.
