Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume examine the emergence of the concept of corporate social responsibility, and the uses that have been made of the language of corporate responsibility to explore the business/society relationship. The first section traces the emergence of the concept of corporate social responsibility as a way of understanding and framing the business/society relationship. Section two of the volume looks at "Definitions and ethical justifications" with a view to exploring current discussions of the nature, scope and source of the social responsibilities of corporations. Section three, "CSR and Management: Critical Reflections", explores the integration of CSR theories and justifications into business management and business management theories. Articles in the final section of the volume apply the concept of corporate social responsibility, and the theoretical frameworks and analytical tools to which it has given rise, to the examination and resolution of specific social issues arising out of the economic activities of corporations.

Book Synopsis Corporate Social Responsibility. Der Markt mit der Moral by : Marianne Korff
Download or read book Corporate Social Responsibility. Der Markt mit der Moral written by Marianne Korff and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2009-02-27 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magisterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Public Relations, Werbung, Marketing, Social Media, Note: 1,0, Universität Duisburg-Essen (Kommunikationswissenschaft), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Blickt man heute in Magazine, Zeitschriften, Fernsehbeiträge und Verkaufsregale entsteht der Eindruck, dass Moral und soziale Verantwortung eine immer wichtigere Rolle in der Konsumwelt – und damit auch im Alltag der Menschen – spielen. Produkt- und Imagewerbung von Unternehmen appellieren an unser gutes Gewissen. Gleichzeitig werden in den Medien die Verhaltensweisen der Unternehmen auf Moral, soziales Engagement (Corporate Social Responsibility) sowie nachhaltiges Management diskutiert und kritisch unter die Lupe genommen. Ein Blick in die Regale der Kaufhäuser unterstreicht den Stellenwert von sozialem Engagement (CSR): Immer mehr Produkte werden zum Beispiel zusätzlich in der biologischen, aber auch teureren Variante angeboten, die in der Regel automatisch positive Assoziationen wie unter anderem ökologisch wertvoll, moralisch wertvoll‚ nachhaltig und natürlich hervorrufen . Auch ohne den Zusatz ‚Bio’ können Produkte mit einem moralischem Mehrwert versehen werden: Ein Bier trinken und zeitgleich den Regenwald retten, (teureres) Mineralwasser kaufen und dadurch eine Brunnen in Afrika bauen – soziale Verantwortung findet heute schon beim Einkaufen statt und schmeichelt dem Gewissen. Scheinbar sollen die Kaufentscheidungen der Konsumenten durch Berufung auf das moralische Gewissen beeinflusst und im besten Fall entschieden werden. Zugleich kommunizieren Unternehmen verstärkt ihr soziales und moralisches Engagement mithilfe von jährlichen CSR-Berichten oder durch die Mittel der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit (vgl. Hansen/Schrader: 2005: 374). Mit CSR tritt die unternehmerische soziale Verantwortung auf dem Markt in Erscheinung. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird das oberste Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit formuliert. Dieses besteht in der Klärung folgender Frage: Inwieweit sind die CSR Maßnahmen der Unternehmen ein Indiz für eine Moralisierung der Märkte? Durch die Zusammenführung der Komponenten Markt, CSR, Konsument, Produkt und moralische Unternehmen sollen Erkenntnisse gewonnen werden, inwiefern CSR ein Indiz für die Existenz von Moral in den Märkten ist. Abschließend wird diskutiert, warum CSR in den heutigen Märkten existiert. Es wird angenommen, dass dies im Zusammenhang mit der Moralisierung der Märkte steht. Steuert die Moral das Verhalten der Marktteilnehmer? Die Ausführungen Stehrs zur Moralisierung der Märkte bieten einen aktuellen Blickwinkel zu dieser Thematik.
Book Synopsis The Market for Virtue by : David Vogel
Download or read book The Market for Virtue written by David Vogel and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the highly praised The Market for Virtue, David Vogel presents a clear, balanced analysis of the contemporary corporate social responsibility (CSR) movement in the United States and Europe. In this updated paperback edition, Vogel discusses recent CSR initiatives and responds to new developments in the CSR debate. He asserts that while the movement has achieved success in improving some labor, human rights, and environmental practices in developing countries, there are limits to improving corporate conduct without more extensive and effective government regulation. Put simply, Vogel believes that there is a market for virtue, but it is limited by the substantial costs of socially responsible business behavior. Praise for the cloth edition: "The definitive guide to what corporate social responsibility can and cannot accomplish in a modern capitalist economy."—Robert B. Reich, Brandeis University, and former U.S. Secretary of Labor "Vogel raises a number of excellent points on the present and future of CSR."—Working Knowledge, Harvard Business School "A useful corrective to the view that CSR alone is the full answer to social problems."—Business Ethics "The study combines sound logic with illustrative cases, and advances the sophistication of the CSR debate considerably." —John G. Ruggie, Harvard University, co-architect of UN Global Compact
Book Synopsis Corporate Social Responsibility im Spannungsfeld von Business Case und Moral Case by : Michael Schweipert

This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensethik, Wirtschaftsethik, FernUniversität Hagen (Lehrstuhl für Betriebswirtschaftslehre, insb. Personalführung und Organisation), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit wird, nach der Herleitung einer Definition des Untersuchungsgegenstandes CSR und einer Darstellung des Spannungsfeldes zwischen Business Case und Moral Case (Kapitel 2), diese beiden divergenten unternehmensethischen Positionen zu CSR in Kapitel 3 und 4 systematisch darstellen und kritisch würdigen. Anschließend wird in Kapitel 5 mittels einer kritisch vergleichenden Analyse der Versuch eines Brückenschlags zwischen beiden Positionen unternommen. Weil Unternehmen in hohem Maße zur Verbesserung oder Verschlechterung der ökologischen, sozialen oder ökonomischen Situation einer Gesellschaft beitragen können, sind sie gleichzeitig Adressat großer Hoffnungen und Befürchtungen. In Anbetracht dieser Machtsituation zwischen privater Wirtschaft und Nationalstaaten steigen auch die Erwartungen an den Wirtschaftssektor vermehrt Verantwortung für gesellschaftliche Probleme zu übernehmen und das entstandene Machtvakuum gewissenhaft zu füllen. Eine Unternehmensethik in diesem Sinne ist dabei nicht frei von inneren Spannungen. Während der Staat über Steuern, Abgaben und die Erhöhung der Staatsverschuldung Einkommen generiert, muss der private Wirtschaftssektor zunächst einmal Gewinn erwirtschaften, um seinen dauerhaften Bestand zu sichern. Lange wurde deshalb die Verknüpfung von finanziellem Erfolg und der Übernahme von Verantwortung als ein Oxymoron bezeichnet. Man müsse sich eben entscheiden, entweder Gewinn oder Ethik. Nach dieser Lesart ist die Übernahme von Verantwortung den guten Zeiten vorbehalten, während in schlechten Zeiten die Moral schlicht nicht zu finanzieren ist. Im Bewusstsein dieses Problems haben sich zwei divergente Positionen zu CSR herausgebildet. Auf der einen Seite der sog. Business Case, der mittels einer ökonomischen Instrumentalisierung von moralischen Wertvorstellungen aus dem Kostenfaktor Ethik, einen Erfolgsfaktor Ethik machen will. Klug umgesetzte Ethik koste demnach kein Geld, sondern lasse sich vielmehr zum Motor des ökonomischen Erfolgs machen. Auf der anderen Seite steht der sog. Moral Case, der eingesteht: Ja, Ethik kostet Geld! Aber der private Wirtschaftssektor sei eben nicht nur der eigenen Gewinnmaximierung, sondern als gesellschaftliche Institution auch dem Gemeinwohl verpflichtet. Verantwortbar sei eben nicht der maximale, sondern der legitime Gewinn, welcher oftmals genügend Raum für ein erfolgreiches Wirtschaften lasse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a timely contribution to the ongoing questions surrounding topics which are by definition subject to varying stakeholder interpretations, this book addresses “the missing link” between theoretical CSR concepts and everyday management practice. It acts as a guide to awaken managers to the advantages of adopting a CSR “mindset” when developing sustainable business strategies. The book consists of three parts: 1) A theoretical realm which establishes the key concepts and rationale for the adoption of a sustainable CSR approach, 2) A practical realm which addresses putting CSR and sustainability into business practice, 3) An educational realm which proposes how to incorporate the concepts into teaching and training.
Book Synopsis Corporate Social Responsibility and Business Performance by : Tobias Gössling
Download or read book Corporate Social Responsibility and Business Performance written by Tobias Gössling and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does it pay for businesses to act morally? This book attempts to answer this question with regard to different aspects and levels. It takes a positive position to this question and demonstrates that, under certain conditions, organizations can act responsibly and profitably at the same time. It elaborates on these conditions and provides evidence for the assumed positive relation between responsibility and profitability. The author uses analysis of the acceptance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies across Europe, the consequences of CSR on motivation, commitment and absenteeism; and organizational responsibility and the bottom of the pyramid to provide evidence for the assumed positive relationship between responsibility and profitability. Uniquely taking an organizational perspective on CSR, scholars and students of business ethics will find this impressive book to be a invaluable resource. Business professional will also find plenty of important information in this admirable compendium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the role of international standards for corporate governance in the context of corporate social responsibility. Based on the fundamentals of moral theory, the book examines governance and CSR in general, addressing questions such as: Is “good governance” not affected by moral concerns? How do the principles and practices of CSR standards adhere to or conflict with insights from business ethics and moral theory? To what extent do the standards and governance models provide normative guidance? Do the standards and governance guidelines provide an adequate means of benchmarking and auditing? Are these standards a help or a hindrance to stakeholder engagement and transparency? The book provides insightful and thought-provoking answers to these and many other important questions concerning CSR standards, and offers a valuable resource for practitioners, academics and students at business schools and other institutions.
Book Synopsis Current Challenges for Corporate Finance by : Guido Eilenberger
Download or read book Current Challenges for Corporate Finance written by Guido Eilenberger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-09-21 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic corporate finance? This sounds like a paradox at first. After all, corporate finance means responding to the financial markets. Strategy, on the other hand, aims to change and shape the environment in the long term. Lately, though, more and more managers and investors appear to be breaking the laws of the capital market. At the same time, corporations are discovering new ways to not just react to the capital markets, but to actively shape them. The authors show that these violations are not isolated occurrences, but part of a paradigm shift. If companies want to stay successful in changing markets, they have to take a strategic approach to corporate finance. The authors use practical examples to demonstrate how this can be achieved. This book is intended not only for corporate finance experts, but also for students interested in the latest developments on the financial markets.

Book Synopsis The importance and significance of Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting by : Marina Cuvilceva
Download or read book The importance and significance of Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting written by Marina Cuvilceva and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2012-07-10 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Accounting and Taxes, grade: 1,3, Martin Luther University, language: English, abstract: Recently Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) gained pretty much attention in the media and in the business world, mostly because of the corporate scandals, like of Enron or Lehman Brothers, financial market crisis and environmental concerns as well as sequential discussion of CSR and CSR reporting on different levels. This paper answers the questions if CSR reporting is important and significant topic and if so, then why it is important and why the companies are motivated to report. These answers are gained through analysis of the relevant academic literature, with the help of the statistical data and are illustrated with the real world example, CSR report of German telecommunication company Deutsche Telekom AG. The results present that there are few supporting arguments that show that CSR reporting is important to the companies, society and government. Although there are many problems and stumbling points in CSR reporting, which are also partially presented and discussed in this paper, the CSR reporting is of a large interest and is still growing.
Download or read book Business Ethics written by Wim Dubbink and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook not only provides the student with a solid foundation in ethics, but introduces students to the most important themes relevant to business today. Issues such as human rights violation down in the supply chain, the effect business has on nature and the environment, and inclusiveness are each discussed in separate chapters, which discuss their importance, but also their challenges. While there are numerous business ethics textbooks, few take a philosophical approach to business ethics. However, without introducing philosophical ethics, discussions about business ethics are bound to get stuck in fallacies and paradoxes. This textbook therefore fills an important societal gap by providing an introduction to profound philosophical issues in clear language at a philosophically high, but accessible level.
Book Synopsis The Power of Distributed Perspectives by : Günter Abel
Download or read book The Power of Distributed Perspectives written by Günter Abel and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2016-10-10 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do people and institutions manage to bring their different perspectives into an effective and productive interplay? How can we overcome obstacles for the creative potentials of distributed perspectives? Traditionally, the perspectives of people and institutions are considered to be fixed and isolated points of view. In such a picture, the perspectives seem determined in advance by positions and persons seem trapped within their perspectival horizons. In contrast, the new approach of this volume’s contributions focuses on the simple but fundamental fact that people (in their perceiving, speaking, thinking, and acting) always already refer to fellow human beings and coordinate their own perspectives with those of other persons and institutions. The contributions of the present volume concentrate on the structures, mechanisms, and dynamics of the interplays of different perspectives of interacting, communicating, and cooperating persons and institutions. The volume focuses on how the creative potentials as well as the organizational effectiveness of distributed perspectives can be set free.
Book Synopsis The Social Responsibility of Businesses. The Example of Zalando by : Alina Böhm
Download or read book The Social Responsibility of Businesses. The Example of Zalando written by Alina Böhm and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2020-10-08 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Business Ethics, Corporate Ethics, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Berlin, language: English, abstract: The aim of this paper is to show to what extent companies have an interest in social engagement and whether this actually conflicts with the pursuit of profit maximization. "There is one and only one social responsibility of business–to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game, which is to say, engages in open and free competition without deception or fraud." This quote comes from the American economist and later Nobel Prize winner Milton Friedman, with his statement he limited the responsibility of the company to only one function, the profit maximization. For Friedman, the social commitment of a company contradicted the goal of every economic company to maximize profits. From his point of view, corporate social responsibility meant that companies act fairly towards their stakeholders on the free market. This raises the question of the extent to which companies have scope to implement Corporate Social Responsibility measures and to what extent these measures and their effects can be evaluated.
Book Synopsis Ethics and the Market by : Betsy Jane Clary
Download or read book Ethics and the Market written by Betsy Jane Clary and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprising cutting-edge work on the state of social economics today, this theoretically diverse book includes strong emphasis on the role of ethics, morality, identity, and society in economic theorizing. Much existing economic theory overlooks ethics. Rather than situating the market and values at separate extremes of a continuum, Ethics and the Market contends that the two are necessarily and intimately related. This volume brings together some of the best work in the social economics tradition, with strong contributions and pedagogy, and a cross-national blend of economics, philosophy, and policy. The contributors embed the economic within the social, rather than viewing 'the economy' and 'society' as separable spheres of life activity, and in so doing, three key themes are illuminated, corresponding to the volume's tripartite structure: Morality and Markets Redefining the Boundaries of Economics Social Economics in Transition. Ethics and the Market illuminates the diverse and dynamic theoretical approaches that are employed in social economics, reflecting on their continuously evolving relationship with neoclassical economics. Taking an innovative approach, this integrative book challenges traditional ways of thinking, and will prove vital reading for students and academics in the fields of Economics, Sociology, Gender Studies, and Public Policy.
