'It is inspiring to see an innovative volume that focuses on the concept and variety of corporate social responsibility (CSR) frameworks, as conceptualized and manifested in a range of contexts - religious affiliation, level of economic development, continent, industry, and mixtures of these variables. The Handbook concludes with a thought-provoking proposal for CSR as a contingent universalist idea. This book should be essential reading by novice and mature scholars as well as inquisitive practitioners striving to ascertain how CSR is relevant and applicable to their own environments.'
