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.

The book is over simplistic and the author does not seem to believe in logic. This book is full of fluff. Reading it will not convince you of anything. It is simply vague and full of buzzwords. However, if you like to be logically pursued and would like to have an intelligent, smart, yet clear and simple discourse just study / read "Moral Issues in Business" by William H. Shaw. I read his book back in 2004. Thereafter, I learned how to argue in a simple and concise argument either for or against any business dilemma.

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