Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Seit einigen Jahren erfährt der Begriff Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), häufig auch Corporate Responsibility (CR), mehr und mehr Beachtung. Das zeigen einerseits der stetig wachsende Umfang einschlägiger Literatur zu diesem Themenkomplex, andererseits auch eine erhöhte Medienpräsenz (nicht nur zuletzt durch die gegenwärtige Wirtschaftskrise). Darüber hinaus erlebt die Praxis einen regelrechten Corporate Responsibility Boom, der unter anderen durch unabhängige CR-Organisationen angeheizt wird. Dennoch steckt die heutige CR-Praxis - absolut betrachtet - national wie international noch in den Kinderschuhen. Der Titel dieser Arbeit „Corporate Responsibility im Trend“ kann im gegenwärtig von der Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise dominierten globalen Weltwirtschaftssystem ambivalent aufgefasst werden: (1) Häufig wird argumentiert, dass sich in wirtschaftlich schlechten Zeiten Unternehmen keine CR leisten können. Sie müssen ihre Kapazitäten und Kostenstrukturen in Rezessionen noch exakter planen, um Verluste im Tagesgeschäft möglichst gering zu halten und der Nachfragedämmung entgegenwirken, indem sie noch wettbewerbsfähiger werden. Dies sei nur über massive Restrukturierungen der Geschäftsprozesse möglich. (2) Andererseits lässt sich genauso schlüssig argumentieren, dass gerade in wirtschaftlich schlechten Zeiten eine CR-getriebene Unternehmensstrategie von immenser Bedeutung ist. Einerseits kann sie in der heutigen Zeit, wo CR noch lange kein allgemeiner Standard ist, einen Wettbewerbsvorteil generieren (ein gegenwärtig sehr stark eingesetztes Argument für CR), andererseits trägt eine zum Unternehmen passende Integration gesellschaftlicher Verantwortung zu einer nachhaltigen und gesunden Unternehmensentwicklung bei. Auch nach der Großen Depression Mitte der 1930er wurde über stärkere soziale Verantwortung von Unternehmen diskutiert. Letztlich wird der Ausgang einer solchen Debatte signifikant vom Auffassungsverständnis über Corporate Responsibility entschieden. Dass Corporate Responsibility für Unternehmen auch global immer wichtiger wird, zeigen zwei aktuelle Beispiele: Ein Gericht in New York traf nach sieben Jahren im April 2009 eine Entscheidung mit möglicherweise weitreichenden Folgen: Opfer der Apartheidszeit in Südafrika können Unternehmen klagen, welche zwischen 1948 und 1994 Geschäft mit der Regierung in Pretoria machten und damit direkt oder indirekt die Unterdrückung von Farbigen unterstützten. US-Gerichte [...]

Book Synopsis A Handbook of Corporate Governance and Social Responsibility by : Güler Aras
Download or read book A Handbook of Corporate Governance and Social Responsibility written by Güler Aras and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current economic situation has highlighted deficiencies in corporate governance while also showing the importance of stakeholder relations. It has also raised the profile of the debates regarding corporate social responsibility and shown the inter-relationship with governance. And the two together are essential for sustainable business. The social and environmental contexts of business are generally considered to be as significant as the economic and financial contexts and good governance will address all of these aspects. The combination of these aspects offers long term benefits for a firm, such as reducing risk and attracting new investors, shareholders and more equity as well as sustainable performance. Written by experts from all over the world, A Handbook of Corporate Governance and Social Responsibility is the most authoritative single-volume guide to the relationship between good governance and social responsibility and the reality of managing both. In addition to the theory and practice of governance and CSR, the book includes case studies from large and small organizations and NGOs to highlight examples of good and bad practice, and to show international and cultural similarities and differences while at the same time furthering the debate regarding the relationship between good governance and social responsibility.

Book Synopsis The Balanced Company by : Inger Jensen
Download or read book The Balanced Company written by Inger Jensen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s organizations are embedded in global and local network relationships that demand more. They have to consider the importance to customers, investors and employees of being respected in wider society and behaving ethically, so it is increasingly important for companies to reflect systematically on how to balance profits with other criteria when making decisions and acting. In short, they need to learn how to become The Balanced Company. Requiring sustainability in production processes and ethical employment of the work force in suppliers' production facilities, at home and abroad, has resulted in new challenges. Strategists need to make balanced choices about long-term goals and the allocation of resources. They must analyse, understand and adjust strategies to market, political, value and technology-related changes. Communication specialists need to take the value systems and assumptions of stakeholders into consideration. Change specialists need to balance continuity and change. Meanwhile, managers make balanced decisions about control or trust; human resources design jobs to make them attractive as well as motivating, and marketers must consider what is important to consumers and stakeholders. Last but not least, leaders have to acknowledge that there are times when organizations have to be taken out of balance during change. The Balanced Company provides answers to corporately responsible and ethically driven balanced decision making. Read it to help your company and stakeholders identify what can be achieved and what to avoid, and about the processes by which values are taken into account and applied in practice.

Book Synopsis Value Based Management with Corporate Social Responsibility by : John D. Martin
Download or read book Value Based Management with Corporate Social Responsibility written by John D. Martin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-08-19 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first decade of the 21st century winds down we have seen a sea change in society's attitudes toward finance. The 1990s can best be described as the decade of shareholder supremacy, with each firm trying to outdo the other in their allegiance to shareholder value creation, or as it came to be known, Value-Based Management (VBM). No one seemed to question this culture as the rising firm valuations translated into vast wealth creation for so many.Three significant economic events have reshaped how the public feels about an unbridled devotion to VBM and have defined the last decade: the dot.com bubble in 2000, the infamous accounting scandals of 2001, and the collapse of the credit markets in 2007-2008. In all three of these events the CEOs were portrayed as reckless and greedy and Wall Street went from an object of admiration to an object of scorn.The first edition of this book, Value Based Management: The Corporate Response to the Shareholder Revolution was written to help explain the underpinnings of Value-Based Management. At the time of its publication, few questioned whether the concept was the proper thing to do. Instead, the debate was focused on how to implement a VBM program. With this new second edition, the authors look at VBM after having seen it through good times and bad. It is not their intent to play the blame game or point fingers. Nor is it their intent to provide an impassioned defense of VBM. Instead they provide an academic appraisal of VBM, where is has been, where it is now, and where they see it going.

This book was released on 2020-01-21 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Akademische Arbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich BWL - Controlling, Note: 2,3, Fachhochschule Brandenburg, Veranstaltung: Finance Controlling & Accounting, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The following questions are discussed in the paper: Why is it so necessary applied for sustainability of the business nowadays? How can the implementation of SBSC help the company’s financial performance? What are the benefits of implementing SBSC? This work might be helpful to assist especially managers to implement the concept of Sustainability Balanced Scorecard (SBSC) as strategic controlling for their long-term success in their sustainability strategy. During the last decade, environmental and social issues, are reflected in market transactions and have become an important issue so that many companies implemented specific environmental and social management systems. However, these systems have rarely been integrated with the general management system of a firm so that it is often not related to the economic success of the firm and the economic contribution of environmental and social management. The topic about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become familiar nowadays, where companies, especially listed companies, have disclosed their CSR-activities, which involve economic, environmental and social issue, in their annual report or in their sustainability reports to show to the public that they are also concerned about these issues. Furthermore, sustainability has increasingly become an important issue for wellbeing of human life and it is responsibility of many parties such as individuals, corporations, or governments. Nowadays, the term sustainability also has become popular among companies to implicate social, economic and environmental pillars to their strategy and management of the company. Today, companies should not only focus on their profits, but they are also forced to concern about other issues such as social, economic and environmental. Unfortunately, many companies still do not know how to implement or measure its outcomes.
