This book was released on 2017 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A strong intersection lays between corporate responsibility and social work. The commonalities between the concept of corporate social responsibility and the social work profession are heavily tied in values based on promotion of social change in communities and societies and the development of programs and organizations. Despite the in-depth training social workers receive in principles that promote the advancement of societal and organizational structures, corporations and social workers have yet to collaborate within the realm of corporate social responsibility. Furthermore, both sectors have been shown to have a lack of understanding about each other's scope of practice. The purpose of this quantitative study is to explore the perceptions of corporate social responsibility and social workers amongst corporate business managers. Twenty-eight individuals holding upper managerial positions in corporate businesses were recruited to participate in an anonymous survey exploring their perceptions regarding corporate social responsibility and the social work profession. The findings of this study suggest that while business managers may not want to collaborate with social workers within the realm of corporate social responsibility their overall perception of social workers is positive. This exploratory study was the first step in gathering information that can raise awareness and provide a foundation for ideas to bridge the gap and create a vision for collaboration between corporations and social workers, which could help corporations better serve their communities more effectively.

Book Synopsis Corporate Social Opportunity! by : David Grayson
Download or read book Corporate Social Opportunity! written by David Grayson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don't be misled by the word social in the title. This is a book about how to improve corporate performance and gain competitive advantage. In Corporate Social Opportunity! Grayson and Hodges challenge perceived wisdom that adherence by business to corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a zero-sum game where the impact on companies is added costs and extra regulatory burden.?? From their unique vantage point working with leaders of global businesses and of local communities, the authors explain how powerful drivers forcing companies to adopt stringent social, ethical and environmental standards simultaneously create largely untapped opportunities for product innovation, market development and non-traditional business models. The key to exploiting these opportunities lies in building CSR into business strategy, not adding it on to business operations. With examples from 200 companies to illustrate their case, they outline both in theory and practice a seven-step process managers can apply to assess the implications of CSR on their business strategy and identify their own corporate social opportunities. Business is operating in a whirlwind of interacting global forces: revolutionary developments in communications and technology, significant changes in markets, shifts in demographics, and a transformation of personal values. The fallout from these forces is the underlying reason that corporate social responsibility has come of age. These global forces have led to a number of issues-such as ecology and environment, human rights and diversity, health and well-being, and communities-becoming potential liabilities for companies. Once regarded as 'soft' management issues, they are now increasingly recognised as hard to predict and hard for the business to deal with when they go wrong. Corporate Social Opportunity!, by the authors of the best-selling Everybody's Business moves the argument from the "why" of corporate social responsibility (CSR) to the "how" and beyond – to a future where CSR is perceived as an opportunity for business both in terms of reaping the benefits of retaining brand or organisational value and by developing new products and services, serving new markets and adopting new business models. This is not always a story of black and white, of what is right or what is wrong. Often it embraces apparently conflicting demands which require the application of judgement, guided by a clear sense of overall direction and corporate purpose. This book is designed to act as a compass for aiding navigation through such dilemmas and complex decisions. Using examples of current good practice, detailed interviews with leading CEOs and newly created diagnostic planning tools, all framed within a seven-step model for making CSR happen, the book aims to provide a practical guide to help business leaders and their managers understand how to assess the impact of corporate social responsibility factors on their core business strategy and operations and help them identify and prioritise between subsequent options and resulting business opportunities. The book is structured into two parts. Both parts describe the same seven-step model which, if followed, will help managers think through desired changes to business strategies, and necessary corresponding changes to operational practices. In Part 1, the seven steps-triggers; scoping; making the business case; committing to action; resources and integrating operations; engaging stakeholders; and measuring and reporting-are described and illustrative evidence and corresponding data provided. In Part 2, the authors have created a worked example of the diagnostic processes that form the backbone of the seven steps, based on the health and well-being issue of fast food and the growing problem of obesity, particularly among children, along with notes on how a manager might work through the processes with colleagues. The authors are pro-business although not business-as-usual. The book is written first and foremost with the purpose of helping to improve business performance, because business is after all the principal motor for growth and development in the world today. The authors argue that companies adhering to best practice in CSR and taking advantage of possibilities inherent in Corporate Social Opportunity! are good for shareholders as well as customers and employees.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Organizational Justice by : Jerald Greenberg
Download or read book Handbook of Organizational Justice written by Jerald Greenberg and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matters of perceived fairness and justice run deep in the workplace. Workers are concerned about being treated fairly by their supervisors; managers generally are interested in treating their direct reports fairly; and everyone is concerned about what happens when these expectations are violated. This exciting new handbook covers the topic of organizational justice, defined as people's perceptions of fairness in organizations. The Handbook of Organizational Justice is designed to be a complete, current, and comprehensive reference chronicling the current state of the organizational justice literature. Tracing the development of ideas regarding organizational justice, this book: *introduces the topic of organizational justice from a historical perspective and presents fundamental issues regarding the nature of organizational justice; *examines the justice judgment process, specifically addressing basic psychological processes, such as the roles of control, self-interest, morality, and trust in the formation of justice judgments; *discusses the consequences of fair and unfair treatment in the workplace; *focuses on such key issues as promoting justice in the workplace in ways that help manage stress, and the underlying processes that account for the effectiveness of justice applications; *examines the generalizability of the interaction between process and outcomes and focuses on the notion of cross-cultural differences in justice effects; and *summarizes the state of the science of organizational justice and presents various issues for future research and theorizing. This Handbook is useful as a guide for professors and graduate students, primarily in the fields of management and psychology. It also is highly relevant to professionals in the fields of communication, sociology, legal studies, marketing, and human resources management.

Book Synopsis Responsible Leadership by : Nicola M. Pless
Download or read book Responsible Leadership written by Nicola M. Pless and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These chapters on ‘Responsible Leadership’ represent the latest thinking on a topic of increasing relevance in a connected world. There are many challenges that still remain when it comes to establishing responsible leadership both in theory and practice. Whilst offering conceptualisations for the improvement of leadership is a first and perhaps easier response, what is more difficult is to facilitate the actual change to happen. These chapters will not only generate interest in the emerging domain of studies on responsible leadership, but also will pave the way for future research in this area in the years to come.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper draws on interviews with 12 investor relations directors. These were used to elicit the mental models respondents used when explaining their firms' motivation to engage in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Four dimensions of CSR-induced competitive advantages emerged: risk, efficiency, branding, and new markets. Respondents from firms with lower social performance drew on less differentiated and less balanced cognitive frameworks (focussing on risk and efficiency). Respondents from firms with higher social performance reported not only more links between CSR and competitiveness, their underlying cognitive models were also more balanced across the four dimensions.

Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION "Creating a strong business and building a better world are not conflicting goals; they are both essential ingredients for long-term- success." - William Clay Corporates and markets are not created by God or nature, but by the businessman. The intention of business must travel beyond the walls of the rigid corporate structure flowing into the lives of the needy and the anxious. In fact, it must contribute to the growth of society since a business enterprise is a growth stimulator of society. "The purpose of business is to serve the society," so said one of the successful business legends of India, J R D Tata. Business corporations are perhaps the most influential organizations in society and have long been recognized as important contributors to the common good. Society grants corporations unique privileges in order to harness their great capacities to serve their needs.
