Corporate Responsibility Reviews

An excellent resource for students who want to understand why traditionally "soft" issues for business like human rights, the environment, or diversity have now become "hard" - hard to ignore, hard to manage, and very hard for businesses that get them wrong. David Grayson CBE, Director: The Doughty Centre for Corporate Responsibility, Cranfield School of Management Interest in Corporate Responsibility has spread across the globe in leaps and bounds, but the field remains mired in rhetoric, confusion and controversy. To navigate this complex terrain there is no better learning tool than this textbook. Peter Utting, Deputy Director, United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD) This book is the most comprehensive and in-depth overview of corporate responsibility currently available. It is the best resource for students and practitioners alike. The second edition is a valuable update. Gilbert Lenssen, Head of European Academy of Business and Society Blowfield and Murray's text deserves high praise. It is clear and readable and compares very favourably with others on offer. David Wornham, Bristol Business School
