Description: Governance and CSR cannot be understood without taking geographical, cultural and historical factors into account in order to comprehend the similarities, differences and concerns relating to people of different parts of the world. This book asks subject experts worldwide to explain the issues from their particular perspective. The editors then synthesise this in a way that will be helpful to business people as well as academics.
Review Quotes: 'I am very impressed with 'Global Perspectives on Corporate Governance and CSR'. It addresses the role of culture and business type (those other than large corporations) in CSR. Importantly, it shows the dominant model originating in Western Europe and North America is not necessarily the appropriate model for other regions and cultures, and for other forms of business organization (SMES, Family-owned business, etc). They provide thought-provoking examples and theoretical support as to why this is true.' Robert Anderson Ph.D., CMA, Simon Fraser University and University of Regina, Canada '...this volume sets a high standard in the necessary task of exploring the issues needing resolution before corporate governance and CSR can be fully integrated.' - Corporate Governance, CorpGov.net
