This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the long-term goal of building Macau as a world tourism and leisure centre, the government department responsible for tourism development starts adjusting tourism policies and measures in accordance with Macaus new positioning, and promotes sustainable and healthy development of the tourism industry in areas including marketing and promotion, tourism planning, products and events, tourism industry management, and training and quality control. Nowadays, Macau gaming companies include CSR information in their annual reports and websites as a marketing tool. For sustainable development of the gaming industry, many local governments and gaming operators in the world try to reduce the risk and severity of negative consequences through various activities. Since gambling is a potentially addictive activity and can cause major harm to problem gamblers, their families and the communities. Problem gambling can cause harm to health, create crimes and produce social disruption. Responsible gambling has been mentioned in the Macau chief executives policy address since 2007. Many major gambling operators are now explicitly addressing and reporting this issue on their Corporate Social Responsibility. This means adopting and practicing the major principles of CSR is paramount. This book starts with an introduction of tourism and hospitality development in Macau. Chapter One acts as an introduction and overview of the books entirety. Chapter Two provides a historical review of the gaming industry in Macau, which starts from Macau opening its port to foreigners in the 16th century. Chapter Three discusses the development of CSR practices in Macau along with the issues caused by problem gambling. Chapter Four discusses CSRs definition and execution from both academic and practical perspectives in tourism, hospitality and gaming industries. Chapter Five focuses on a particular CSR activity, which is responsible gambling and the corresponding issues that arise in the execution and implementation of responsible gambling in Macau. Chapter Six attempts to develop a measurement scale of CSR through a discussion of current CSR measurement issues and its implementation in tourism and hospitality industries. The final chapter is a case study, which is composed of a semi-structured interview with 3 managers currently working in the gaming corporations. The case study will provide a practical perspective on the meaning of CSR, the recent changes and the impacts of CSR activities on the gambling industry.

Download or read book Challenging Corporate Social Responsibility written by Jessalynn R. Strauss and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become increasingly widespread, as businesses seek to incorporate socially responsible behaviors while still being accountable to shareholders. Indeed some research has suggested that CSR in itself can form the basis of good PR by promoting consumers’ purchase decisions. Arguing that this approach is a dangerous oversimplification, this book takes a deeper look at the concept of CSR in a particularly challenging context - casino gaming. Originally the province of seedy, backdoor establishments in isolated cities, casino gaming has become a multibillion-dollar global industry. Drawing on in-depth research in Las Vegas, this unique study examines how and why corporations in the casino industry interpret and engage in CSR through community support, environmental issues, labor rights, and corporate governance. Through in-depth analysis of CSR in this industry, this book adds a new dimension to the debate on the role of CSR and public relations in business. Given the burgeoning relationship between CSR and corporate PR, the book seeks to illuminate CSR’s complexities, contradictions, and moral obligations. It will be of interest to all scholars of public relations, corporate communications, and corporate reputation.

Download or read book Responsible Gambling written by Howard J. Shaffer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-02 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Responsible gambling" refers to a range of strategies, initiatives, and activities introduced by gambling regulators, policymakers, and industry operators to reduce gambling-related harms. There is an absence of agreement about the definition of responsible gambling among these parties, and stakeholders' experiences reflect varied and often conflicting positions about the development, implementation, and maintenance of existing responsible gambling programs. Complicating these issues further, there is little empirical evidence supporting the current crop of responsible gambling activities. Consequently, there is a pressing need to bring together key similarities and differences associated with disparate stakeholder groups. Responsible Gambling: Primary Stakeholder Perspectives will inform and better ground both current and future debates focused on the topic of responsible gambling and its intended outcomes. Chapters address responsible gambling from the perspective of five groups of complementary stakeholders: scientists/researchers; clinicians; gambling operators; public policy makers/regulators; and recovering gamblers. Contributors address responsible gambling through the lens of the Reno Model, an approach that emphasizes the importance of stakeholders working together and using evidence-based methods to reduce gambling-related harms. Building upon and expanding the Reno Model and addressing conflicts and ethical compromises so that these programs can achieve their intended objectives (reducing the worldwide rate of gambling-related harms), Responsible Gambling will be of value to scientists, clinicians, policy makers, regulators, and industry operators interested in responsible gambling strategies and activities.
