Corporate Social Responsibility: The Role of Business in Sustainable Development: Global Institutions
Autor Oliver F. Williamsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 noi 2013
Corporate Social Responsibility examines the history of the idea of business ethics (which goes back at least to ancient Mesopotamia) before exploring the state of CSR today. This book argues that a wide-ranging understanding of the purpose of business is necessary to create value for a community of stakeholders which in turn can generate a sustainable future. The book suggests that corporations still have a long way to go, but remains optimistic. The book’s sanguine interpretation of the current state of corporate affairs and a recommended way forward, results not only from the authors analysis, but also his direct experience. This book presents the case that we are in the midst of a major paradigm shift in our understanding of the purpose of business and that this new understanding holds much promise for business being a significant force for a more just and peaceful world.
This work provides a concise overview of CSR and an important examination of the present and future work of the UN Global Compact and will be of interest to students of international organizations, international business and corporate social responsibility.

Recenzii
"This well written, and easily accessible book on corporate social responsibility cuts through the mountain of literature to tackle the big issues. It is both intelligent and compassionate at the same time, coming from a wise and experienced man." - Dr Malcolm McIntosh FRSA
"[The book] is concise, well-documented, and convincing. The approach is non-theological (there are no explicit references to Catholic social teaching) but draws upon the conclusion of that literature. It would be an excellent resource in any course on contemporary business ethics." - Rev. Edward A. Malloy, C.S.C, President Emeritus, University of Notre Dame
"…by dipping into the book, you will discover that it is written skillfully and thoughtfully by one of the CSR field’s leading thinkers….you will also find a practical and attainable way to make corporate social responsibility an operational reality within an expanding array of for-profit corporations around the globe." - William C. Frederick, Professor Emeritus of Business Administration, Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business, University of Pittsburgh.
