A History of Socially Responsible Business, c.1600–1950: Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance

Editat de William A Pettigrew, David Chan Smith
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 noi 2017
This book examines the changing reciprocal relationships between corporations and their various social obligations over the very long term - from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. Chapters from emerging and established business historians assess the full range of social obligations that corporations held historically. By adopting an innovative methodological approach that is long-term and comparative, this book offers a challenge to the literature on corporate history and will be of interest to researchers and academics in the field of finance and business history.
