Andrew Crane et al. have compiled a series of essays which ambitiously is intended to span the contestable and controversial subject of Coporate Social Responsibility (CSR). They have drawn together leading lights in business theory along with important contributors from the fields of sociology, law, politics, philosophy and even one from peace and conflict studies whose remit covers corporate relations to society... As ambitious as the project was, the editors have achieved much of great worth with this book, which covers a great deal of a multifaceted subject.
