Description - Corporate Social Responsibility by Kathryn Haynes

There is a growing interest among both practitioners and academics in corporate social responsibility (CSR). CSR is usually described as comprising three elements: environmental, economic and social, though there is no serious consensus on how to go about translating ideas into practice. This volume sets the agenda for a developing field of thought from a variety of perspectives from academia, policy, business and the professions. This collaborative text articulates current thinking on each facet of a vital subject. Each theme is represented by a scholarly presentation together with responses from other researchers and practitioners in the field. In doing so, the book: Explores and critiques CSR goals, and national, organizational and managerial strategies Reviews the distinctive role and importance of CSR to academics, professionals and practitioners and identifies appropriate bridging strategies Assesses the opportunities for theory building, to support further understanding of the complexities of CSR and the sustainability and long term value of CSR practice to corporations and civil society.
This timely and significant contribution to the theory and practice of CSR will prove to be vital reading for students, researchers and practitioners involved with the field. It will also become a key reference for anyone with an interest in business and society.
