Description
Book SynopsisWhile it is generally accepted that both governance and corporate social responsibility are concerned with the way that an organisation manages its relations with its stakeholders, the actual relationships are not simple. The stakeholders who are considered to be dominant and most powerful can change dramatically over time. This is particularly so when governance or CSR is considered in the context of non-commercial forms of organisation. This book re-examines these relationships and the way in which they are changing and developing. The various contributions to the book address different aspects of these relationships from a wide international and interdisciplinary perspective.
Trade ReviewContributed by an international group of researchers, the 12 essays in this book examine corporate governance and social responsibility and their relationship to stakeholders. In the first section, they discuss stakeholders' roles in organizations, including value creation from strategic partnerships between companies and nongovernmental organizations; participation in development as a human right; the role of integrated reporting and raising awareness of environmental, social, and corporate governance performance; employee well-being; building strategic alliances for environmental stewardship using a market-place model; and corporate legitimacy through corporate social responsibility. The second section addresses industry and stakeholders, with essays on social responsibility in educational settings, and stakeholders and their management strategies; institutionalizing corporate social responsibility and the role of government in setting standards in India; airport governance policies and stakeholder issues; corporate social responsibility as a catalyst for development in Nigeria; the need to ensure the welfare of workers in developing countries, using the example of sweatshops in Bangladesh; and the use of information and communication technology and mixed technology for self and distance learning in India. -- Annotation ©2018 * (protoview.com) *
