’Dr Thiel’s The Social Domain in CSR and Sustainability analyzes the extensive research for CSR and provides an important new study that makes insightful contributions to the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) literature, especially for practitioners and researchers who are seeking to understand the meanings of CSR among diverse constituents and institutions. Most organizations operate in the complex social domains described by Dr Thiel, but unfortunately many of them fail to recognize both the scope and complexity of achieving and communicating social responsibilities. With the growing urgency of many sustainability issues around the globe, this book’s critical examination of the many CSR relationships will be a welcome addition for many executive development programs, analytical studies and future research projects.’ John Grant, Visiting Fellow, Colorado State University, USA
