Corporate Social Responsibility

'An authoritative effort to interpret the now vast literature on CSR. With wit and skill the editors negotiate a path through definitional disputes.' - Journal of Industrial Relations 'This is a terrific resource for those who want a thorough understanding of CSR. It will work in the classroom, and in the seminar room. It informs both researchers and practitioners.' - R. Edward Freeman, University Professor and Olsson Professor, The Darden School, University of Virginia, USA 'Crane, Matten and Spence invite the reader on a global, practical and intellectual journey to understand CSR in a way that provides an excellent overview of some of the core concepts and, in particular, invite students to engage in key debates. What I appreciate most about this book is the three editors' lengthy and carefully written introductions to each chapter where CSR is appreciated as a complex and non-resolved area in need of more reflective debate.' - Mette Morsing, Professor PhD, Copenhagen Busines School, Denmark 'Crane, Matten and Spence have done a wonderful job with this textbook, given the comprehensive coverage, the analytical flair, the wealth of practical examples, all of which make knowledge of CSR both accessible and interesting. This is a useful reading for any student, academic, or practitioner who wishes to delve more into the fascinating world of CSR.' - Dima Jamali, Professor of Management and Sustainability, Olayan School of Business, American University of Beirut
