'Clearly, sustainability and social responsibility are becoming an indispensable priority for corporations. This book arrives at exactly the right time, as academics and students alike become acutely aware of the importance of corporate social responsibility.'--S. Tamer Cavusgil, Georgia State University, US'This book is a welcome and timely addition to the business and academic community with heightened awareness about global environmental degradation and unfair business practices well as increased economic inequities around the world. It covers corporate social responsibility practices with contextual richness dealing with governments and consumers in international business.'--Masaaki Kotabe, Temple University, US'Cross-cultural dimensions of CSR are thorny and difficult. Consequently, researchers have often neglected this important field. This book represents a most welcome counterpoint. Focusing specifically on the social responsibility of international business, it offers inspiring and thought provoking readings for researchers and practitioners alike.'--Bodo B. Schlegelmilch, Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria
