About this title

Synopsis

This book presents the latest evidence on, and new approaches to, the development of Corporate Social Responsibility in emerging and established economies. To do so, it examines a broad range of industries, from fashion to banking, and various aspects, like accounting, information security, and human resource management. Special emphasis is placed on the role of education. The case studies gathered here analyse both small and medium sized companies, as well as listed enterprises.
The book is a valuable resource for researchers in the fields of sustainability and corporate responsibility, provides student teaching cases for courses on CSR and sustainable management, and offers blueprints for professionals seeking guidance and inspiration on their path towards responsible business operations.
