Review for CSR Book

The book was in excellent conditions, BRAND NEW and shipping was very fast. Thank you!

AN OUTSTANDING BOOK IN EVERY RESPECT.

This book presents a stakeholder perspective for understanding the big picture of corporate social responsibility (CSR). These stakeholders are grouped as follows: organizational (employees, managers, stockholders, unions); economic (e.g., customers, creditors); and societal (e.g., communities, government and regulators, the environment). The book examines the scope of CSR, and views it through the lens of the needs and values of stakeholders. It puts forth the arguments against CSR. CSR is examined in a strategic context, placing the subject in sharp focus from a business perspective. The authors examine a long list of issues that define CSR in practice, each associated with a specific stakeholder group, using a real-life case study with supporting sources. Vivid examples of CSR strategies in action are provided. The book is a treasure trove of information and insights. It is comprehensive, and extremely well organized-an outstanding book in every respect. For anyone interested corporate social responsibility, this book is must-reading.
