Description
This textbook on corporate social responsibility emphasizes its centrality to a firm's strategic decision making and operations and how firms create value. It discusses issues of debate and their conceptual frameworks, presenting corporate social responsibility from a strategic stakeholder perspective that involves an operating environment consisting of many constituent groups. It defines corporate social responsibility and its context, drivers, and evolution, then addresses the stakeholder, economic, strategic, and sustainable perspectives. Along with a new 15-chapter structure, this edition has more emphasis on sustainable value creation; new content on behavioral economics, stakeholder prioritization, and value creation; five extended and updated cases on controversial corporate social responsibility issues; and new discussion of the COP21 (21st Annual Conference of the Parties) United Nations agreement in Paris, resilience, social impact bonds, and nudge economics.
