CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND CORPORATE C...

This wide-ranging book examines the new dynamics of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and
the impact they have had on the transformation of business corporations. Written by an
international group of distinguished experts in management and organization studies  economics
and sociology  the book leads one to theoretically and practically rethink CSR  a movement that
has developed into a strong and rich institutional domain since the mid 1990s. Through 14
chapters  the book shows the complexity  diversity and progression of the institutional work
performed by a large number of individual and organizational actors in specialized networks to
develop this strategic field. Central to this book are: the core issues associated with the
field of CSR  recent advances in the development  dissemination and implementation of public
and private standards of social responsibility  the pressing challenges of developing
sustainable strategies of value creation in the face of global warming and underdevelopment 
and finally  examples of how CSR has been implemented and institutionalized within business
organizations with special attention to the role played by a variety of social actors in
organizational change. Conceived as a movement  corporate social responsibility spearheads a
transformation project challenging traditional and outmoded forms of corporate governance that
frequently pose troublesome ethical issues. From this standpoint  Corporate Social
Responsibility and Corporate Change will serve as a reference point for academics  researchers
managers and practitioners.
