Business ethics and social responsibility Books

Book SynopsisThis timely book explores new social justice challenges in the workplace. Adopting a long-term perspective, it focuses on value conflicts, or ethical dilemmas, in contemporary organisations. Matthieu de Nanteuil holds a strong and original position in this regard. The problem is not so much the existence of value conflicts: it is more the fact that the actors do not have a frame of justice that allows them to overcome these conflicts without renouncing their deeply held values.However - and this is crucial - these frames of justice are plural. The book proposes tangible solutions, based around four frames of justice: ethics of discussion, negotiation, development and recognition. It offers a systematic review of their strengths and weaknesses as applied to the workplace. The author translates them to real life situations through a range of case studies, demonstrating practical outcomes applicable to the day-to-day working environment and highlighting that there is no one universal approach. Original and engaging, this book will be of interest to scholars of workplace ethics, labour policy, sociology of work and social theory. It will also be a key resource for HRM policy makers, trade unionists and managers dealing with human issues in the organisation.Trade Review‘In this valuable work, Matthieu de Nanteuil critically reflects on the ethical problems and challenges that arise in the workplace, within societies where cost-benefit calculations and power relationships prevail. The author very convincingly considers that workers deeply aspire, not only to meaning, but to social justice in their working environment - yet, that ways towards a more just working environment are plural. A very appropriate book in our turbulent era!’Table of ContentsContents: Introduction – Social justice in the workplace: New challenges, new perspectives 2. The spirit of the Enlightenment 3.

Few concepts have contributed so practically and effectively to a complex systems understanding of organisations and society, than stakeholder theory. Such an outcome might easily be congruent with strands of Ed Freeman’s openly pragmatist approach. In this encyclopedic, revised companion volume and through 81 expert, scholarly entries, Jacob Dahl Rendtorff and Maria Bonnafous-Boucher marshal a collective tour de force. This book presents an effective deconstruction of the manifold, complex and inseparable stakeholder themes that overwrite defunct, neo-classical logic, agency theory and shareholder primacy. Compelling and comprehensive stakeholder reference material for scholars, students and professionals.’ -- David Bevan, St Martin's Institute of Higher Education, MaltaTable of ContentsContents: Preface x Introduction to Encyclopedia of Stakeholder Management xv Jacob Dahl Rendtorff and Maria Bonnafous-Boucher Accounting 1 Gianfranco Rusconi and Massimo Contrafatto Accounting context 6 Magnus Frostenson Art 11 ORLAN Authentic leadership 13 Spencer Shaw Border wall aesthetics 20 Elisa Ganivet Climate change 22 Laurence de Carlo Complexity 25 Jacob Dahl Rendtorff Consumer culture theory 29 Frank Lindberg Contract 34 Pedro Francés-Gómez Corporate governance 40 Till Talaulicar Corruption 45 Christian Hauser Crisis 51 Tobias Goessling Critical perspective 56 Ozan Nadir Alakavuklar and Patrizia Zanoni Deliberative stakeholder theory 60 Øjvind Larsen Democratic business 66 Maria Duclos Lindstrøm Development 71 Unang Mulkhan Dialogue 79 Arnaud Stimec, Kevin Levillain and Blanche Segrestin Eastern perspectives on stakeholder relations: Confucianism and Daoism 84 Alicia Hennig Eastern relational thinking 88 Alicia Hennig Ecological economics 92 Ove Jakobsen Employee rights 95 Kristian Høyer Toft Engagement 100 Leire San-Jose Expectations 105 Johan Bouglet and Olivier Joffre Family firms 112 Yves Fassin and Silvana Signori Fiduciary duties 119 Javier Pinto and Germán Scalzo Governance 124 Marin de La Rochefoucauld Green deal 127 Paolo D’Anselmi and Eyob Mulat-Weldemeskel Greenwashing 131 Riccardo Torelli Guilt 134 Camilla Sløk Healthcare technology 140 Jette Ernst and Charlotte Jonasson Heterogeneity 145 Emmanuel Picavet Human rights and meaningful stakeholder engagement 150 Karin Buhmann Innovation 156 Lars Fuglsang Institutional legitimacy 160 Jacob Dahl Rendtorff Integrative social contracts theory 165 Guilherme Siqueira Integrity 170 Marianne Thejls Ziegler International civil society 175 Virgile Perret Internet 180 Wenceslao J.

Book SynopsisThis critical book presents ways to improve the impact of corporate sustainability programs on the ecological and social systems that we rely upon. Integrating three decades of multidisciplinary empirical and conceptual research undertaken by three leading management scholars in three countries, this book addresses the current state of, and the prospects for, business to help create a truly sustainable society.Providing a balanced perspective, Salvaging Corporate Sustainability expertly charts the path from the promises of corporate sustainability, to where it has gone wrong, and on to where it needs to go from here. The authors conclude by outlining a research agenda for finding a working balance between free market and formal governance that can yield substantive corporate sustainability programs. Overall, this book will challenge readers to take a broader view of how we use the planet’s limited resources and the ways in which corporations can work with their stakeholders and the government to address our global sustainability challenges.Offering new directions for uncovering better ways to increase sustainability through business, this book will be core reading for academics and students of business leadership, corporate social responsibility, corporate sustainability, and strategic management. It will also be useful for practitioners who oversee and implement sustainability practices, helping them to conceptualize how to approach their jobs.Trade Review‘For over 30 years a plethora of scholars and practitioners of sustainability – including myself – turned to the firm, and their collaborative initiatives with stakeholders, in the hopes of offering efficient and effective ways to address the myriad of environmental challenges facing the planet. As this important tome by three leading corporate sustainability scholars point out – the hopes that building the “business case” for sustainability would lead to “win win” outcomes did not come to pass: from an array of measures from the climate crisis to mass species extinctions – the world is now much worse off than it was when we collectively turned to corporate sustainability governance for solutions.As a corrective, Barnett, Henriques and Husted make a compelling, and ironic call for “bringing government back in”. What makes their argument refreshing, and important, is that this doesn’t mean jettisoning corporations as playing an important role in advancing sustainability – but rather the “business case” for doing so.The result is a compelling and important argument for those seeking to draw on government, companies and society as a means to ameliorate, rather than exacerbate, some of the world’s most pressing ecological challenges.A profoundly important book.’ -- Benjamin William Cashore, National University of Singapore‘This book casts a much needed critical eye on the mantra of the win–win scenario, the idea that business can do well economically by doing good for society and the environment. The reality is far more complex and, as the authors rightly point out, “The self-interested actions of independent firms operating in deregulated global markets will not add up to a sustainable world.” What is needed is the fresh and sober look at business sustainability that this book provides; its promises, premises, realities and possibilities. Before business and the market can play its proper role in solving our sustainability challenges, this book makes the case that we need to rethink the proper role of government in resetting the structures of the market. This book is a welcome addition to the ongoing discussion on this very important topic, written by three accomplished scholars in this topic.’ -- Andrew Hoffman, University of Michigan, USA and author of “Management as a Calling: Leading Business, Serving Society”Table of ContentsContents: Preface PART I CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY: PREMISES AND PROMISES 1.

By bringing together internationally renowned scholars, it reflects upon pertinent trends and challenges within the field. Significantly, it illuminates the ethical foundations of corporate governance. Presenting nuanced viewpoints on topics such as the stakeholder turn of corporate governance, this Research Handbook presents comprehensive insights into essential subjects within ethics and governance. Chapters examine the complexities of sustainably creating value, as well as how corporate governance may aid in overcoming challenges such as inequality and value conflicts.

The Research Handbook on Corporate Governance and Ethics will be perfect for scholars of business and management pursuing further research into corporate governance. It will additionally be beneficial for policymakers and practitioners seeking further information on the diversity of research perspectives within this field.Trade Review‘Till Talaulicar has put together an important volume for the study of corporate governance in the modern age. As a variety of stakeholder interests become increasingly recognized in business, scholars and corporate leaders need insight on how to manage competing claims and minimize trade-offs, while also prioritizing ethics and positive values. This book provides that insight, collecting new ideas from established and rising leaders in the field. This Research Handbook is a must have for any serious scholar of corporate governance.’ -- Jonathan Bundy, Dean’s Council Distinguished Scholar, Arizona State University, US‘Till Talaulicar’s Research Handbook on Corporate Governance and Ethics makes a unique and hugely needed contribution to the most pressing questions facing corporations in a time of increasingly interdependent, complex and urgent contextual challenges. That is, although firmly informed by theoretical perspectives, specific examples and research insights, the Research Handbook goes beyond the usual questions of “whether” organizations can or should engage themselves in the wider concerns facing the societies in which they are embedded, and instead focuses upon “how” this has and/or can be achieved. Rather than an attempt to justify or inspire such engagement, this diverse set of scholars explain the variety of approaches – theoretical, philosophical, structural, managerial – that have driven and/or can drive such efforts, and significantly, they explore the organization’s internal need for, as well as external impacts of, such efforts. Rather than polemical, this collection is both intellectually challenging as well as practical – a heady combination.’ -- Mary C. Gentile, Richard M. Waitzer Bicentennial Professor Emeritus of Ethics, University of Virginia – Darden School of Business, US; Creator and Director of Giving Voice to Values‘This is a much-needed book with insights from some of the world’s leading scholars in governance and ethics. I believe it will be required reading in many doctoral programs, and a ready resource for scholars in the area. Corporate executives will also find it useful as they confront the difficulties associated with governing ethically in a turbulent world.’ -- Jeffrey S. Harrison, W. David Robbins Chair in Strategic Management, University of Richmond, US‘The values and norms promoted by global capitalism need to be carefully scrutinized; and perhaps even replaced, by institutions and practices that do a better job at protecting the global commons that is both efficient and equitable. This Research Handbook will be helpful in the transition towards that end.’ -- William Q. Judge, E.V. Williams Chair of Strategic Leadership, Emeritus, Old Dominion University, US; Founding President of the International Corporate Governance Society (ICGS)‘Finally: A thorough and comprehensive exploration of the implicit value assumptions of corporate governance! It takes the corporate governance debate out of its technocratic and financial fixation and makes its ethical foundations explicit. With contributions by leading experts in the field, this timely book addresses the obvious interrelations between hitherto siloed-off areas of management research.’ -- Dirk Matten, Hewlett-Packard Chair in Corporate Social Responsibility, York University, Canada‘I very much welcome this brilliant Research Handbook giving a comprehensive overview of ethical challenges in corporate governance. Ethics, responsibility, and sustainability are key elements of good governance. Top experts of corporate governance provide us with important insights on social and environmental performance. Reading this book will improve board decisions for a better world.’ -- Jacob Dahl Rendtorff, Roskilde University, Denmark; President of the European Business Ethics Network (EBEN)‘Governing boards have become far more central to how firms operate, and Till Talaulicar has masterfully spotlighted how corporate governance shapes not only financial performance but also stakeholder lives.

Book SynopsisThis Research Handbook focuses on the collective ethical issues facing the accounting profession, as well as the users of services provided by accountants today. Providing an overview of contemporary accounting and ethics issues around the world, the Research Handbook on Accounting and Ethics discusses the ethical considerations involved in each of the major areas of activity in accounting, including external and internal auditing, tax, forensic accounting, and governance. Chapters feature discussions on the ethical implications of artificial intelligence and data analytics in accounting, the effectiveness of anti-corruption agencies in Africa, and accounting ethics education in Hong Kong and Macau. It also proposes new areas of research relating to accounting and ethics, through cross-fertilization with other disciplines and presenting multiple innovative perspectives. Offering discussions on a wide range of topics and research methods, this Research Handbook will be essential reading for students and scholars in accounting ethics and business ethics. Accounting standards setters, policymakers, practitioners, and regulators will find this a useful resource for encouraging reflection on the ethical ramifications of their professional duties.Trade Review‘The expansion of ethical discussions within the accounting field has been notable, making accounting one of the key areas of growth for theoretical innovation in ethics. This volume brings together diverse ethical stakes of accounting, from a wide ranging and globally inclusive perspective, and is impressive in its scope and depth. Both academically insightful and relevant to practitioners and civil society actors, the volume is likely to appeal to diverse stakeholders from within and outside academia.’ -- Gazi Islam, Grenoble Ecole de Management, France and Co-editor in Chief of the Journal of Business Ethics‘The Research Handbook on Accounting and Ethics offers a necessary and refreshing perspective on research in professional ethics that goes beyond the typical coverage in accounting and auditing contexts. The content is broad and incorporates perspectives in rich topic areas such as corporate governance, artificial intelligence, and tax, and provides an international perspective outside of the U.S. and Western Europe. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the study and application of business and accounting ethics.’ -- Christine E. Earley, Providence College, School of Business, US‘This Research Handbook could not be more timely. Accounting and ethics have always been deeply intertwined but the stakes in their relationship have been raised significantly by the many challenges to 21st century capitalism, not least social and climatic changes. The editors, themselves leading analysts of the ethical issues raised by accounting practices, have assembled an impressive cast of contributors. This volume will be the essential “go to” resource for academics and practitioners concerned not only for the future of accounting, but also for the sustainability of our shared world.’ -- Michael Power, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK<‘Accounting pervades every one of our institutions and every one of our lives by fashioning what we count, how we count, and what should count. Hence we should be centrally concerned with the ethics of accounting. Commendations to editors Charles H.

Book SynopsisElgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.Drawing on the philosophy of existentialism, this thought-provoking Research Agenda questions and encourages deeper ethical thinking about organizational practices during this time of existential crisis. Rather than relying on prescriptive normative ethical theories, it advocates for ethical concerns to be addressed through intersubjective encounters.Chapters engage with diverse philosophical perspectives and illuminate their key ideas through literature, visual arts, and music, bringing forth situated truths that will resonate with and incite the reader to think and act critically to avoid perpetuating dehumanization, precarity, and mindlessness. The Research Agenda will ultimately inspire leaders and scholars to expand, rethink, practice, sustain, and transform organizations towards a future of flourishing for all stakeholders.Integrating qualitative hermeneutics with existential philosophy, this discerning Research Agenda will offer students and scholars of organization studies, business ethics and leadership a unique perspective on organizational ethics.Trade Review‘This edited collection reflects important debates in organizational ethics and provides comprehensive, critical, and creative responses that will help move the field forward. With such an innovative approach to the subject, I wholeheartedly recommend this book to all colleagues, whether they are students, scholars or practicing leaders.

Book SynopsisIf we want to nurture students as informed, progressive agents of change, we need to adopt non-traditional, transdisciplinary approaches when teaching them about ethics and sustainability. This innovative book demonstrates the best pedagogical techniques and approaches to incorporate sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and ethics in business and law education.Experienced teachers discuss the use of techniques such as Responsible Management Learning (RML) and non-linear decision-making gameplay in education, and find that alternative teaching and learning methods can encourage deep learning, integrated thinking and a transformative consumer research perspective. Forward-thinking, this book emphasises the importance of infusing the values of the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals into future curriculums, and discusses the eco-centric, embedded, transdisciplinary and personally transformative learning and teaching required to achieve these.With illustrative case studies and real-life reflections from students, it will prove invaluable for researchers of sustainability, corporate social responsibility and business ethics. Its discussions of assessment methods and student wellbeing will also prove a vital resource for educators and policymakers working in higher education in both the UK and internationally.Trade Review‘As sustainability and responsible business management have become topics of paramount importance for all types of organisations in our current society, it is crucially important to bring forward innovative education approaches to develop adequate knowledge and skills to deal with the challenges to implement and manage sustainable businesses. This book makes a fresh and significant contribution to this field by introducing forward-thinking approaches to learning and teaching sustainability and responsible business management embedded in fundamental managerial areas of organisations.’ -- Luciano Batista, Aston Business School, UKTable of ContentsContents: 1 Embedding sustainability, corporate social responsibility and ethics in business education: an introduction 1 Helen Borland, Michael Butler, Caroline Elliott, Nathalie Ormrod and Lauren Traczykowski 2 Embedding business education for global sustainability and climate change 12 Helen Borland 3 Teaching sustainable marketing through a transformative consumer research lens 25 Julius Stephan 4 Applying sustainability within the curriculum 38 Carrianne Wallace and Nathalie Ormrod 5 The sustainable development goals, Dante and non-linear game play 50 Lauren Traczykowski, Sian Joel-Edgar and Soumyadeb Chowdhury 6 Using complex systems approaches to motivate transdisciplinary learning in sustainability education 62 Tim Burnett 7 Assessing student learning in sustainability education 84 Achilleas Karayiannis and Bimal Arora 8 Teaching the paradox of business ethics: a learning pathway to avoid a crisis 97 David Cantliff 9 Teaching and learning business ethics in accounting 110 Richard Kenyon and Ilias Basioudis 10 Relatively free markets, the morality of profit and integrated thinking: learning in a real world context 124 Peter Keeling 11 Ethical and professional standards of the CFA® Program and finance-related university education 133 Hugh M.

Book SynopsisElgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.Research has overlooked the need for modern organisations to enact continuity during periods of change. This Research Agenda addresses this by considering continuity and change as engaging in various forms of mutual interplay. The underlying theme of this book is that change needs continuity just as continuity needs change.In this Research Agenda, internationally renowned contributors offer insights through a wide range of case studies and chart a path for future research. Readers will discover how the continuity-change interplay unfolds in a variety of organisational types and industries. Key examples show the importance of understanding continuity as an integrative part of organisational change at various levels of organisation.A Research Agenda for Organisational Continuity and Change will be useful for scholars and students of organisation and management, including teachers involved in executive education.Trade Review‘This volume provides a cutting edge treatment of both sides of organizational temporality: continuity and change. It does so not by a reductionist analysis emphasizing one or the other side, but by considering the many types of relationships between the two. The book’s twelve chapters explore how continuity and change relate to one another in a yin-yang like relationship and posit several different “takes” on this relationship. Scholars of organizational change and development will find bright new perspectives and insightful critiques in this volume, and I highly recommend it to both beginning and experienced scholars of this subject.’ -- Marshall Scott Poole, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, US‘A Research Agenda for Organisational Continuity and Change is a timely and exciting addition to long-standing inquiries into organizational continuity and change. Grounded in an integrative conceptualization, the multiple chapters provide innovative alternatives to more conventional treatments of these processes as sequential, parallel, or opposed. Offering insightful considerations of the relationality, temporality, and performativity of continuity and change, this volume will be an invaluable resource for scholars seeking to engage with the lively, fluid, and entangled realities of contemporary organizing.’ -- Wanda J.

Book SynopsisElgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.This innovative Research Agenda brings together established scholars from a diverse range of disciplines including artificial intelligence, psychology, medicine and law enforcement to outline and assess current trust research, emphasizing how trust is a critical issue in the 21st century affecting countless areas of the modern world.A Research Agenda for Trust analyzes the concept of trust within a variety of contexts, such as sociology, computer science, cognitive psychology, engineering, organizational behavior, AI, entrepreneurship, healthcare, neuroscience, and nuclear non-proliferation. Encouraging multidimensional and interdisciplinary research, chapters underline the connections between differing disciplines. Using the 1995 Mayer, Davis, & Schoorman model of trust as an initial starting point, contributors highlight that successful trust relationships in the modern world are swiftly deteriorating and argue that as a result, research must move forward in order to develop better, healthier and more trusting relationships.Imaginative, incisive and accessible, this Research Agenda will be an enlightening read for academics, students and researchers specializing in business ethics and trust, human resource management, organisation studies, social sciences, sociology and social policy. Considering interpersonal relationships within a variety of professional contexts, this book will also be of benefit to practitioners working in human resources, business management and governance.Trade Review‘This groundbreaking book provides a much-needed map of interdisciplinary trust research. Use it to explore how trust is formed, maintained, and sometimes broken, in a variety of contexts – from purely social relationships to the complex interplay of people with emerging technologies like AI and increasingly autonomous robots.’ -- John Lee, University of Wisconsin-Madison, US‘This volume brings together a broad range of social science scholarship loosely centered around the influential Mayer, Davis and Schoorman (1995) model of trust. This new collection is particularly valuable for including discussions of cutting-edge topics, including artificial intelligence, computer sciences, autonomous technologies and the neuroscience underpinnings of trust. As trust in political, social, legal, administrative, and scientific authorities (or the lack of it) becomes a more pressing concern in the 21 st century both scholars and policy makers will find this volume informative and valuable.’ -- Tom Tyler, Yale Law School, US‘Trust is a problem, or a solution, for many issues facing society today. This book shares insights from leading researchers regarding the role of trust in contexts ranging from technology to public institutions to business.

Book SynopsisThe Role of Multinational Enterprises in Supporting the United Nations’ SDGs is an exploration of the place of the private sector in implementing select Sustainable Development Goals. Beyond the abundant literature published by the United Nations and journal articles, there are few book-length treatments of the unique role that multinationals play as facilitators of goal implementation and agents of change. This volume aims to stimulate debate and research on MNEs’ best practices, fleshing out many of the seventeen goals through the lens of corporate strategic choices. Sixteen carefully selected chapters present research advances in both study and best practices format, linking disciplines, knowledge systems, and stakeholders' perspectives to support a more sustainable business model and address the varied challenges on the road to the 2030 Agenda. They comprise a balanced mix of research methodologies: comprehensive literature reviews, theoretical frameworks, empirical studies, integrative reviews, and case studies.The book will be of use to advanced students, researchers, practitioners, planners, and policymakers worldwide who are concerned with sustainable development and corporate social responsibility issues through the lens of multinationals. Furthermore, the book is designed to be used in graduate courses in business, economics, public policy and on sustainability and corporate social responsibility.Trade Review‘While the United Nations adopted a clear set of Sustainable Development Goals around 2015, the likelihood of any country achieving all of these goals by the planned 2030 deadline seems highly unlikely. The reasons behind the slower than expected progress appear to be diverse and multi-cultural, making any type of scientific inquiry into it a major challenge. The editors of this book have taken on this challenge and provided one of the broadest and most comprehensive explanations to date. Their compilation of ideas and research from some of the top scholars around the world provides key insights for thought leaders seeking to accelerate the progress towards saving our planet.’ -- Mark Ferguson, University of South Carolina, USTable of ContentsContents Foreword xix Introduction to The Role of Multinational Enterprises in Supporting the United Nations’ SDGs 1 PART I MNEs IMPLEMENTING SDGs: WHAT WE KNOW AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE? 1 The research landscape of MNEs and SDGs: what we know and what needs to be done? 14 Pard Teekasap and Dina Frutos-Bencze 2 Good intentions or good strategy?

This includes individuals/households, formal and informal groups, organizations/communities, from local to global, and all levels of businesses, governments, and nonprofit organizations. It highlights the many ways that our species can meet the climate crisis and how entities at every level of human experience are, could be, and should be developing and implementing climate solutions, including those advancing energy efficiency, renewable energy utilization, and nature’s ability to sequester carbon.Nearly two dozen knowledgeable, caring, and active authors, representing both academics and practitioners, from multiple countries and disciplines, have risen to the challenge of attempting to motivate as many people as possible to take whatever actions they can as urgently as possible, to ensure that future generations of both humans and non-humans on this planet will have a sustainable climate that meets their on-going needs.This Handbook is an important work for scholars and practitioners working in the realm of environmental and climate issues, sustainability and CSR. It provides a comprehensive exploration of the current global situation, while also inspiring immediate action and forward thinking.Trade Review‘Climate change is the most urgent crisis facing humanity. The Handbook on Multi-Level Climate Action is a must read as it provides a path forward in addressing this crisis.’ -- Doug McKenzie-Mohr, Author of Fostering Sustainable Behavior'As our planet changes—from melting ice caps, record-breaking heat and cold, super-strong hurricanes and ocean surges—most think it's someone else's problem. This Handbook emphasizes the need for everyone—from individuals to community to local government and industry, to national governments and international consortia—to all step up, so as to leave the wonderful bounty from this planet for our children and children's children.

Book SynopsisDrawing on the knowledge of highly experienced academics, this authoritative Handbook explains how ethics can inform the teaching of economics. It includes state-of-the-art moral theory alongside traditional approaches to emphasise why ethics should be an important consideration for economic practitioners. The Handbook of Teaching Ethics to Economists keenly demonstrates how economic analysis can reflect implicit moral judgements. Chapters include guidance on course design and lesson content, providing insight into important topics such as ecological and grassroots economics. They offer pedagogical advice alongside philosophical analyses, setting out teaching guidance and significant case-study profiles on key theories, such as Kantian and Aristotelian ethics. Importantly, they reflect on the potential of economics to cause harm and use ethics to mitigate this possibility. This expansive Handbook will be essential for academics preparing to teach courses relating to ethics and economics. Due to its detailed explanations of the societal role of economics, students of economics and finance will additionally find this Handbook to be incredibly useful.Trade Review‘Economists see “two roads”: the road taken, and the opportunity cost of the road not taken. In positivist-utilitarian economics, that is, the classrooms of most colleges and universities worldwide, these same “roads,” both heuristic and real, articulate economic decision-making and outcomes without any reference to ethics or ethical conflict. Negru, Duckworth and Meyenburg offer a much-needed corrective, a Handbook of Teaching Ethics to Economists, which will help to correct this sorry state of affairs.’ -- Stephen T. Ziliak, Professor of Economics and Social Justice Studies, Roosevelt University, US‘This important book balances criticisms of mainstream economics and its unrealistic dichotomy of positive and normative economics with alternative ethics perspectives. It can be seen as a response to the global Rethinking Economics student movement with its demand for real-world economy teaching and pluralist perspectives in the classroom.’ -- Irene van Staveren, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the NetherlandsTable of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction to the Handbook of Teaching Ethics to Economists 1 Ioana Negru, Craig Duckworth and Imko Meyenburg 2 The fate of moral philosophy in the age of economic scientism 13 Peter J.

Book SynopsisThe world cries out for ethical leaders. We expect the best, but we are often left profoundly disappointed. While leadership programs may feature ethics as part of their curriculum, the approach is often either simplistic or overly esoteric. This second edition addresses this scarcity of resources for training ethical leaders, providing a primer of several ethical frameworks accompanied by extended examples to help inform decision-making. It also addresses several leadership models that claim an ethical component. The new edition also includes new chapters on the ethics of care and toxic leadership, and new case studies for all chapters. By providing a consistent case analysis based on the Five Components of Leadership Model, readers benefit from a comprehensive approach to understanding ethical leadership.By using the Five Components of Leadership Model as a consistent point of reference, McManus, Ward, and Perry offer readers a variety of insights on ethical leadership. Conclusions include the importance of drawing from multiple ethical and leadership perspectives, moving away from exclusively leader-centric approaches to ethical leadership, the importance of asking questions to maximize self-awareness, and considering multiple points of view whenever addressing an ethical conundrum. To connect ‘ethical thinking’ and ‘ethical doing,’ the text uses classroom-friendly framing questions, timelines, visual models, summary tables, case studies, discussion questions, and recommended resources for additional study. After reading the book, students will benefit from a foundational understanding of theories and models of both ethics and leadership, as well as a concrete view of what these theories and models look like in practice. Professors will benefit by having all of these resources in one text, viewed through the lens of the Five Components of Leadership Model.Striving to be both comprehensive and approachable, this book is an excellent resource for upper-level students studying leadership, especially those who are new to philosophy or ethics. It is inclusive enough to serve as a primary text or as a supplement for a well-rounded ethics or leadership course.Table of ContentsContents Forewords xx Gama Perruci Ronald E.

Book SynopsisThe world-wide transition towards corporate social responsibility (CSR) results in profound changes to business practices. Hence, this crucial Handbook adopts a global perspective to review key CSR issues and their implications for the future evolution of corporate governance.Michel Magnan and Giovanna Michelon bring together leading experts who deftly explore the critical tensions and areas of convergence between CSR and corporate governance. The Handbook further assesses the environmental responsibilities corporations are now facing and examines the wide range of social responsibility issues affecting businesses, with a particular focus on corporate philanthropy, boardroom diversity, workplace harassment and gender equality. The Handbook concludes with some thought-provoking discussion about the future evolution of corporate governance if it is to succeed in addressing emerging environmental and social challenges. Arguing that environmental and social responsibilities represent the essence of CSR, this dynamic Handbook provides a number of policy and practical recommendations, proposing ideas for future research and useful indications for boards of directors.This incisive and forward-thinking Handbook will be an important read for academics and researchers interested in corporate governance, CSR, and sustainability. It will also prove highly beneficial for professionals and practitioners working in corporate governance and its intersection with sustainability.Trade Review‘Magnan and Michelon designed an approach that lays the foundations for a new era in governance.

An exciting and timely contribution to the field, I strongly recommend it.’ -- François Dauphin, Institute for Governance of Private and Public Organizations, Canada‘This Handbook couldn't have come out at a better time. With the way we work, consume and communicate changing at a rapid pace, organizational leaders are in constant planning mode, and none will be able to achieve their objectives without a fit-for-purpose governance framework.’ -- Rachael Johnson, ACCA, UK‘This book collects several interesting perspectives on the convergence of corporate governance and corporate social responsibility. Thanks to the editorship of Michel and Giovanna and the contributions provided by different scholars, the book helps students and practitioners to mature an updated and comprehensive understanding of this increasingly relevant topic.’ -- Alessandro Zattoni, Luiss University, Italy‘This book brilliantly combines CSR and corporate governance concerns by reflecting both an academic lens and a practical perspective. The result is a reference work that is equally useful for researchers, board members, managers, and policymakers. It is as relevant as it is comprehensive, providing an appreciation of the risks as well as the opportunities.’ -- Jean-François Henri, Université Laval, Canada‘This is a must read for anyone doing research or teaching in the corporate governance area.

Book SynopsisIt Really Is Just Good Business is essential reading for all solopreneurs, freelancers, as well as micro and small business owners who want to build and sustain a profitable business. Why? Quite simply, the rules of business have changed. Greed has been the defining god of the business world for far too long: Allegiance to the creed of money alone will ultimately result in failure. Organisations that believe that people and the planet are equally as important as profit will now, paradoxically, be the most profitable and sustainable for the longer term. It Really Is Just Good Business is a blueprint for anyone who wants their business to thrive, but who also wants to make a meaningful contribution to society. The author has 50 years’ experience working with small businesses at a grassroots level. Jill Poet is quick to point out that she is not an academic or a sustainability consultant, and that it is her wealth of experience, rather than academic theory, that informs this book. It is also her passion for those solopreneurs, freelancers, and micro and small business owners, combined with her hands-on business background, that ensures /It Really Is Just Good Business/ is delivered in a pragmatic, common-sense, conversational style. It provides a thought-provoking yet realistic and easy-to-understand approach to a better way of operating with practical examples, business wisdom, and case studies. Jill doesn’t pull any punches. This book is peppered with examples of what can happen if you are inauthentic, including a few sections that might court controversy. Read this book to ensure you build a fantastic business that feeds your soul - as well as your bank account.

Book SynopsisTo achieve racial equity in the workplace, we need to “name, frame and explain where it doesn't exist”. In Equality vs Equity: Tackling Issues of Race in the Workplace, Jenny Garret OBE helps the reader unpack the concept of racial equity and understand its importance in moving the dial up on inclusion, providing practical tips and language for the reader to act upon. Equality vs Equity: Tackling Issues of Race in the Workplace is essential reading for those who want to educate themselves and influence others to do the crucial complex work of achieving racial equity in the workplace.Trade ReviewAs usual, I learn from Jenny Garrett OBE every time we interact - this time via her latest fantastic book. Share this hugely practical book with friends, colleagues and others who either want to, or perhaps need to, become more ADEPT at living in a modern world where the global majority deserve far more. -- Dr. Suzanne Doyle-MorrisA book of bountiful evidence and facts on the state of play today in terms of racial equality in UK workplaces. Combining powerful personal experience presented dispassionately with figures and stories from across the recent past, Jenny offers a simple framework to get the reader – who is curious and interested to make a difference – to be part of the solution. A recommended read. -- Sarah Churchman OBEIf you read one book this year, make it this one! I have worked with Jenny on a number of occasions and always come away having learnt something and with a renewed vigour to make a difference. The fact [that] Jenny has put her unique storytelling abilities, borne of her lived and professional experience, into a book is just a gift to us all. In her introduction, Jenny talks about the African proverb ‘if you think you are too small to make a difference, you haven’t spent the night with a mosquito’. I couldn’t think of a stronger rally call for everyone to listen, learn and continue making the difference we can […]. -- Gareth HindI never feel that I’m doing enough to understand and tackle racial inequity[.] I don’t think it’s possible for me or any white person to ever be doing enough in this space. We can all learn more, listen more, hear more and take more action. If, like me, you want to play your part in tackling racial inequity then you really must read this book. It’s time to be the Empathetic changemaker the world needs you to be. It’s also time we started to accept the those who are Black, Asian, Brown, dual-heritage, indigenous to the global south, and or have been racialised as 'ethnic Minorities' are actually, as Jenny explains, the Global Majority. The clock is ticking for those of us white folks, we are the Global Minority, we need to learn fast, and make change happen even faster […] in the interest of everyone on our little planet. -- Andy WoodfieldIf we’re going to tackle racial injustice, then we need to address the fact that there is no such thing as a level playing field, and that the systems in which we live and work are themselves biased and discriminatory. Unless we tackle systemic inequity, there is little chance of achieving racial justice. This book is an important contribution to the field. It helps to increase our understanding and awareness of the systemic injustices at play in our workplaces, organisations and wider systems, and is also a call to all of us to do the work – with guidance on how to become a change-maker, as well as actionable steps we can all take towards greater equity. Most important of all, it stresses the importance of doing our own personal work to enable us to become instruments for change. -- Aboodi ShabiEquality vs Equity is a great work authored through the lived experience lens of specialist coach and trainer in the diversity arena, Jenny Garrett OBE. It is the game changer required to achieve a fresh new approach to challenge a 40-year-old problem. A must have (handbook full) of step-by-step advice for anyone with real commitment and interest in moving the Equality vs Equity Dial forward. -- Dr Yvonne Thompson CBEI am excited for people to read this book and use it to have moments to have self-reflection, but to also consider the role they play in shifting the dialogue we need to have around race and identity. This is a book for everyone and all. Well done Jenny for continuing this important conversation. -- Geoffrey O. Williams * Global VP of Diversity Equity & Inclusion, Burberry *The combination of Jenny’s honest lived experiences, well thought out research and clear explanations of complex topics make this a superbly compelling read. I recommend it for anyone who is afraid to have frank and honest conversations about race and wants to become a better ally. -- Janet Tidmarsh FCIPDJenny Garrett OBE has written a deeply personal, persuasive and highly educational book that will add to the rich, progressive discussion on racial equity and equality in the UK and more widely. This is definitely a must read! -- Peter AlleyneThis book is an extension of Jenny’s passion, honesty and ability to open your thought process and understanding of the world as it equates to racial equity. Its unapologetic, enlightening, yet practical. Jenny is voicing the conversations that your black and brown colleagues are having behind closed doors every day. If you are serious about understanding racial equity and challenging your own assumptions, this book is a ‘must’ read for anyone to actively engage in changing the narrative. -- Devi VirdiJenny Garrett has written a book that will soon become essential to anyone committed to developing and nurturing equitable workplaces and societies. Jenny draws on her experience in professional and personal spaces to inform how individuals, groups, and societies can become more aware of racial injustices, and she offers practice recommendations that can lead to greater inclusivity. I will be recommending this book to both colleagues and students. -- Professor Carole ElliottI met Jenny in the lockdown Zone, I mention this because it was a tipping point in the life and history for Black People. Notably we experienced the pandemic, the George Floyd murder, and a global community awakening and awareness. I think this book is timely, it is needed and instructional to make sense of the world we ae living in and to help navigate how we move from equality to equity. -- Karl George MBE Partner RSMKnotty, gordian issues require focused minds and bold actions to unravel them and mobilise change. Jenny Garrett’s new book does this honestly, vulnerably and directly to the entrenched issue of racism. With finesse and compelling assuredness, Jenny invites one and all to the table to explore the issue of race justice and to do so from the position of ‘the solution focused change agent’. She compels the reader to state, full throated and unapologetically, that ‘The Time for change is now. The agent of change is me.’ Get ready, dear reader, to be equipped, emboldened, and roused to be a powerful catalyst for change. -- Sharon AmesuThis is a much needed book for the current times we are living in. It is extremely well researched with academic references and lived experiences. It is easy to understand and implement as a handbook for every organisation or leader who aspires to be anti-racist. Jenny explains the difference between equality and equity in a way that makes so much sense, while offering practical tips and strategies to achieve true equity in the workplace. -- Wali Rahman * Diversity and Wellbeing Manager, Forestry Commission *I love Jenny’s positive approach. In Equality vs Equity Jenny acknowledges that real change is happening and explains why the shift from equality to equity is a vital part of the process if we are to keep up the momentum. I applaud Jenny’s positive mindset and progressive nature which make Equality vs Equity a must read for anyone who truly wants to understand how to move the dial forward. -- Gamiel YafaiThe conversation on racial inequality in the UK has progressed over the last few years but there is still much to do, learn and be implemented in order to make real progress on this agenda. Equality vs Equity: Tackling Issues of Race in the Workplace is the tool we've been waiting for that provides really helpful guidance and practical solutions [for] an ongoing issue and for organisations willing to make the change. I really do recommend reading this! -- Sharniya FerdinandJenny has achieved through this book a brilliant work of authentically narrating her lived experiences, intricately woven persuasive arguments about the urgency of amplifying equity and providing actionable strategies for anyone. Each chapter is steeped in history, research, anecdotes, and practical tools to kindle one’s desire for action. This is a must read for anyone interested in contributing to creating an equitable future in business and society at large. -- Dr Jummy OkoyaJenny has been challenging and shaping equality in the workplace for many years and as a result is a leader in this space. I have witnessed leaders change their internal processes as a result of her delivery and heard employees reflect on the impact they can have following her sessions. I know that this book will have a huge impact on every reader and will continue to shape ED&I globally. -- Sonia MeggieAn excellent book for anyone who wants to learn more and truly understand the importance of equity and how to create inclusion through the lens of race. Jenny shares many great examples of her own lived experiences which really help to bring the book to life. -- Asif SadiqThe narrative around racial equity has always been uncomfortable in the workplace; made even more difficult when you include the many layers of intersectionality. […] After nearly two decades of […] debate, this book will offer a fresh insight into racial bias and discrimination, and how leaders can become more comfortable and, more importantly, diligent change makers rather than […] complacent managers sitting on the side-lines expecting change. -- Sonia Brown MBE * Founder & Director, National Black Women’s Network (NBWN) and SistaTalk *In this book Jenny has provided an easy, informative, and engaging resource that bridges the gap between awareness for race equality, and the practical steps we must all take to ensure race equity. This is not just another book about race, this is a playbook that will shift gears for race equity, from conversation to action to long term impact! -- Pauline Miller * Chief Equity Officer EMEA, Dentsu international *Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisThe important yet contradictory role of innovation in society calls for a philosophy of innovation. Critically exploring innovation in relation to values, the economy and social change, Rafael Ziegler proposes a collaborative theory and practice of innovation that aims to liberate possibilities for our common futures. Following cues from the arts and drawing on the innovation literature across the social sciences, this book exposes pro-innovation bias and the gospel of disruptive change. Not only entrepreneurs but also civic networks and tinkerers are discussed as sources of innovation, and social change as a balancing act of innovation, exnovation and restoration. The discussion of capabilitarian, communitarian, liberal, republican and socialist ideas of justice and innovation leads Ziegler to a transformative proposal: 'enough innovation' based on enough for all and with respect for all. This is a thought-provoking read for scholars working on sustainability-transformation, democratic, responsible and social innovation, and philosophy of economics.Trade Review‘Ziegler makes a brilliant contribution to the investigation of some of the most urgent ethical issues of the twenty-first century.’ -- Michel Bourban, Prometheus: Critical Studies in Innovation‘I have found Ziegler’s Innovation, ethics and our common futures a very inspirational book. It opens up new ways for engaging with one of the most pressing challenges of our times and offers bold new ideas, which give fresh impetus to the discourse on innovation. I highly recommend reading the book for anyone interested in the philosophy of innovation and sustainability.’ -- Job Timmermans, Philosophy of Management‘Innovation, Ethics and Our Common Future provides a timely contribution to the critical reflection of the role of innovation in the light of the unsustainability of modern-day (western) societies.’ -- Rick Hölsgens, NOvation'Innovations presume to be improvements, but such presumptions are essentially contested. As Ziegler shows, such contest has deep roots in ethics. Ziegler's book for the first time connects studies on social innovations with reflections from ethical theories. It analyses evaluative perspectives which determine what counts as innovation. I see Ziegler's approach as a groundbreaking paradigm shift in the theory of innovation. It fulfills the idea that books on innovations should be innovative in themselves.' --Konrad Ott, Kiel University, GermanyTable of ContentsContents: 1. Introduction to innovation and ethics – a collaborative philosophy 2. Varieties of innovation – business, grassroots and democratic 3.

Book SynopsisThe Encyclopedia of the Social and Solidarity Economy is a comprehensive reference text that explores how the social and solidarity economy (SSE) plays a significant role in creating and developing economic activities in alternative ways. In contrast to processes involving commodification, commercialisation, bureaucratisation and corporatisation, the SSE reasserts the place of ethics, social well-being and democratic decision-making in economic activities and governance. Identifying and analysing a myriad of issues and topics associated with the SSE, the Encyclopedia broadens the knowledge base of diverse actors of the SSE, including practitioners, activists and policymakers.Analysing the role of SSE organisations and enterprises in enhancing wellbeing, planetary health and democracy at various levels and their contribution to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, the Encyclopedia invaluably summarises knowledge about the key aspects of the SSE. Accomplished researchers depart from traditional nationalistic, Eurocentric and trans-Atlantic perspectives to explain the SSE from a global perspective with a focus on untold stories of its development in both developing and developed countries.A collective work of the UN Inter-Agency Task Force on SSE (UNTFSSE), this Encyclopedia will serve as an essential tool for scholars and students of comparative social policy, international economics, management studies and economic sociology.Key Features: 57 entries Clearly organised into thematic sections addressing histories, concepts and theories, actors and organisations, development, and environment and governance Breaks down the complex relationship between economic, social and political dimensions in an accessible way Trade Review‘A comprehensive overview that clearly demonstrates the significant contribution of the Social and Solidarity Economy in addressing the leading issues of our time, including globalization, social justice and inequalities. This is an important resource for researchers, policymakers and other stakeholders which can be leveraged for promoting inclusive and sustainable development.’ -- Li Junhua, Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, United Nations‘A product of the UN Inter-Agency Task Force on Social and Solidarity Economy (UNTFSSE) Knowledge Hub, the Encyclopaedia of the Social and Solidarity Economy is a welcome contribution to our stock of knowledge on the topic. I applaud our colleagues in the United Nations Research Institute on Social Development (UNRISD), a co-founder and member of the UNTFSSE, for putting this comprehensive reference text together. It will be a useful resource as the International Labour Organization and its constituents seek to implement the conclusions on decent work and the social and solidarity economy, adopted at the 110th International Labour Conference in June 2022.’ -- Guy Ryder, Director-General, International Labour Oganization‘This magnificent work captures the rich diversity of experiences, backgrounds and visions of those of us who work in people-centered economics. It is, therefore, an essential tool for consolidating a paradigm of international cooperation that makes an effective impact in each territory.’ -- Ariel E.
