Book Synopsis Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Change by : Arnaud Sales
Download or read book Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Change written by Arnaud Sales and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-10 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis Corporate Social Responsibility Overload? Intention, Abuse, Misinterpretation of CSR from the Companies‘ and the Consumers‘ Point of View by : Thomas Demmerling
Download or read book Corporate Social Responsibility Overload? Intention, Abuse, Misinterpretation of CSR from the Companies‘ and the Consumers‘ Point of View written by Thomas Demmerling and published by Anchor Academic Publishing (aap_verlag). This book was released on 2014-02 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More recent incidents and scandals such as Sweatshops by different sports equipment and electronic devices producers and finally the financial crisis which made the headlines among many others, which did not make it to the front page, have forced companies to consider CSR way more than in the past. But also other issues such as climate change and global warming, human rights situation and terrorism affect how companies conduct their strategies and operational practices today. Almost every large corporation in the western world makes some effort to communicate how it is committed to social issues that lie beyond its basic profit objectives – even in controversial industries such as the tobacco and petroleum industry. The industries claim to produce healthier food more fuel-efficient vehicles, conserve energy and other resources in their operations to make the world a better place. CSR often begins to be wishful thinking to hide the true face of a business. Doubtless what has come to be called responsibility of companies for ecological and social issues besides economic issues is now a sales and branding instrument for many companies. Hence, numerous other companies, also small and medium sized companies are currently asking themselves the questions: Shall we also invest in CSR initiatives? Why should we do that – just to do something? Is this still an instrument to gain a competitive advantage? Especially the last question implies the question, if consumers still believe in the basic idea of CSR initiatives, or with the overload of CSR initiatives, if they even show reactance and mistrust against such issues.

Book Synopsis Corporate Responsibility im Trend by : Manfred Rohm
Download or read book Corporate Responsibility im Trend written by Manfred Rohm and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2009-12-09 with total page 169 pages. 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 Corporate Political Responsibility by : Johannes Bohnen
Download or read book Corporate Political Responsibility written by Johannes Bohnen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-31 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates how companies can effectively promote their business by assuming political responsibility and expanding their investment concept to include a political component. It shows that the success of companies is crucially dependent on socio-political conditions. In other words: politically sustainable management is a business case. Therefore companies should take a closer look at the opportunities at the interface of politics and business. To date, there has not been a satisfactory assessment of the issue of Corporate Political Responsibility (CPR), which combines a conceptual framework with practical measures for implementation. This book remedies that oversight, and shows how companies can develop the necessary attitude and operate in concrete CPR fields of action, illustrated by diagrams and examples. While doing so, the author explains how CPR is different from shere lobbying or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The author provides an overview of the public realm and its actors, and shows how, through political contributions, they can strengthen the performance of the state and thus their own performance. Companies have unique resources for doing so, and in their own interest they should get involved: being impartial in particular, but partial in principle - when it comes to our liberal way of life as such.
Book Synopsis Corporate social responsibility in der Wirtschaftskrise by : Michael Stefan Aßländer
Download or read book Corporate social responsibility in der Wirtschaftskrise written by Michael Stefan Aßländer and published by Rainer Hampp Verlag. This book was released on 2010 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) zählt zu den schillerndsten Begriffen der aktuellen Debatte um Wirtschafts- und Unternehmensethik. Angesichts der Wirtschafts- und Finanzmarktkrise der Jahre 2008 und 2009 erfährt das Thema der sozialen Verantwortung von Unternehmen auch in der öffentlichen Diskussion zunehmende Aufmerksamkeit. Längst geht es dabei nicht mehr bloß um einen 'freiwilligen' Beitrag einzelner Unternehmen zu den ökologischen und sozialen Brennpunkten im Umfeld der Unternehmungen, sondern es rückt die Frage nach den Kriterien einer sozial verantwortlichen Geschäftspolitik der Unternehmen selbst in den Vordergrund. Dafür erweist sich der Begriff der Corporate Social Responsibility bei näherer Analyse oftmals allerdings als zu unscharf. Auch die mit dem Thema Corporate Social Responsibility verbundenen Erwartungshaltungen unterscheiden sich in wesentlichen Punkten. Ziel des vorliegenden Bandes ist es daher, das herrschende Verständnis von Corporate Social Responsibility in Theorie und Praxis kritisch auszuloten. Aus dem Blickwinkel unterschiedlichster Gruppen und Akteure soll versucht werden, die konkrete Reichweite der unternehmerischen Verantwortung näher zu bestimmen - auch und vor allem angesichts der Wirtschaftskrise.

Download or read book Enabling Responsible Living written by Ulf Schrader and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-18 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book focuses on responsible living as the individual’s contribution to sustainable development. We believe that sustainable development can only be achieved if individual freedom and responsibilities are balanced on a high level while taking social, ecological and economic needs into account. A crucial element to achieve this is to integrate different perspectives of stakeholders and co-create a joined approach through partnerships. While partnerships develop new opportunities for the stakeholders involved they also require a readiness for mutual understanding, respect and courage to co-create.

Book excerpt: "At present, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) for some may not be more than an attitude. Can it be more? What degree of commitment can we reasonably expect of corporations in the struggle to eradicate poverty, promote human rights, halt climate change and reverse ongoingenvironmental destruction? It is not a question of power; more than half of the worlds top 100 economies are corporations, not nation-states. Whatever can be done to "fix" the world's problems, corporations are in the best position to do [it]."--Back cover.
Book Synopsis Corporate Social Responsibility and Trade Unions by : Lutz Preuss
Download or read book Corporate Social Responsibility and Trade Unions written by Lutz Preuss and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-03 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) has focused attention on the relationship between businesses and key stakeholders, such as NGOs and local communities. Curiously, however, commentators on CSR rarely discuss the role of trade unions, while commentators on employment relations seldom engage with CSR. This situation is all the more remarkable since unions are a critically important social actor and have traditionally played a prominent role in defending the interests of one key stakeholder in the company, the employee. Written by dedicated experts in their field, this book addresses a key gap in the literature on both CSR and employment relations, namely trade union policies towards CSR, as well as union engagement with particular CSR initiatives and the challenges they face in doing so. The research covers eleven European countries which, when taken together, constitute a representative sample of industrial relations structures across the continent. This book will be essential reading for scholars, students and practitioners of international business, employment relations, public policy and CSR. Its foreword is written by Philippe Pochet and Maria Jepsen, Directors of the European Trade Union Institute in Brussels.
