Arguing that existing research on CSR regulation fails to address the growing role of the state in shaping the international practices of multinational corporations, the authors provide insight into the CSR issues that are addressed by government policies. Drawing on case studies, they analyse three key examples of CSR: non-financial reporting, ethical trade and tax transparency in extractive industries.

In \u003ci\u003eThe Design of Everyday Things, \u003c\/i\u003eNorman made the definitive case for human-centered design, showing that good design demanded that the user''s must take precedence over a designer''s aesthetic if anything, from light switches to airplanes, was going to work as the user needed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, he takes his thinking several steps farther, showing that successful design must incorporate not just what users need, but must address our minds by attending to our visceral reactions, to our behavioral choices, and to the stories we want the things in our lives to tell others about ourselves. Good human-centered design isn''t just about making effective tools that are straightforward to use; it''s about making affective tools that mesh well with our emotions and help us express our identities and support our social lives. From roller coasters to robots, sports cars to smart phones, attractive things work better.
