Rethinking Global Value Chains and Corporate Social Responsibility
This innovative book sets out to rethink corporate social responsibility (CSR) in global value chains.
Global Value Chains and Development
Studies conceptual foundations of GVC analysis, twin pillars of 'governance' and 'upgrading', and detailed cases of emerging economies.
Sustainable Value Chain Management
The way organizations manage their value chain has changed dramatically over the past decade. Today, organizations take account of economic issues, but they also adopt a broader perspective of their purpose including social and environmental issues. Yet despite its global spread, sustainable value chain management remains an uncertain and poorly defined ambition, with few absolutes. The social and environmental issues that organizations should address easily can be interpreted as including virtually everything. Current literature on the topic seeks to understand the effects and management of initiatives dealing with diversity, human rights, safety, philanthropy, community, and environment. H...
Corporate Social Responsibility in India
Presenting an analysis of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in India, this book looks at the unique roots of the concept in India. It examines Gandhi’s philosophical moorings that inform India’s approach to CSR, and the role of civil society in setting an agenda for championing the rights of the stakeholders. The book goes on to focus on the role of the government in grooming the Indian business to be sensitive of its social concerns. Drawing on rich empirical data, the book shows that CSR in India cannot be conceptualized in ethnocentric terms. Arguing that it is not about ‘the typical Indianness’ of the articulation, it emphasizes the point that CSR in India needs to be conceptualized in a wider perspective by taking into account its philosophical roots with reference to the prevalent socio-economic and political context. The book is a valuable contribution to the literature on CSR, and is of interest to scholars of Asian Studies, business and development studies.
Afro-Eurasia: Assessing Sustainability
Afro-Eurasia: Assessing Sustainability focuses on the geographic area where humans originated and first began to make use of the natural world - Earth's largest landmass, stretching from Portugal in the west across the steppes of Russia and south across Africa to the Cape of Good Hope. By examining the history of human expansion, as well as 21st century pressures to address ecosystem damage across the region, international scholars and regional experts weave sustainability into core curricular subjects. The interdisciplinary coverage includes national and regional environmental histories, as well as business and commerce, migration, educational institutions, law and government, and the lifestyles of diverse populations.
The Role of Business in Global Governance
This book offers a theoretically innovative and empirically rich analysis of the new political role of corporations in the co-performance of governance functions beyond the state. It takes stock of the different types of private contributions to transnational governance as an expression of the new interplay between the state, the business sector and civil society. It provides an understanding, grounded in theory, of the potential and the limits of private self-regulatory arrangements as components of future global governance architecture. It investigates under what conditions which kinds of private contributions to governance beyond the state can be expected; and offers a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness and legitimacy potential of private contributions to global governance. By conceptualizing the role change of business actors as corporate norm-entrepreneurship and employing a comprehensive set of criteria for its evaluation, this book goes much further than other studies in the field.
