For the past decade European countries have undergone a severe economic crisis, with severe consequences both for individuals and for governments. Unemployment and rising poverty have compelled individuals to reconsider their own priorities and goals, while governments have been forced to rethink social policies on the national level, as well as their international economic and political agreements. Some countries have been more deeply affected by the crisis than others, and the impact of economic shortage on individuals and governments has differed, not only because of the different magnitudes of the crisis, but also because individuals react differently to the contextual changes.This book makes use of cross-national survey data to explore the impact of wealth and economic contexts on social values. Instead of attempting to explain how aggregate changes occur (as previous volumes have done) the chapters in this collection focus on micro-level effects to interrogate more deeply the interplay between attitudes and values – and the way both can change as a result of transformation of economic context. This book elaborates on several dimensions of value change: the measurement model and the way it changes under the impact of economic shortage;the connection between universal value orientations and attitudes towards different objects (e.g. the welfare state, immigrants and ethnic groups);the effects of economic factors and vulnerability on values and attitudinal orientations;how particular political and economic contexts produce changes in political orientations. This book focuses on the interrelationship of social values, attitudes and economic scarcity in the context of the last economic crisis experienced by many European countries. It will appeal to scholars and students of sociology, political science and economics.

Dieser Band beleuchtet die interkulturellen Herausforderungen, die bei der Umsetzung von CSR-Strategien auftreten können. In den letzten Jahren ist eine nachhaltige Implementation von CSR immer mehr in den Fokus global agierender Unternehmen gerückt.  Dabei konnten jedoch oftmals nur bestimmte CSR-Aspekte in einzelnen Funktionsbereichen der Unternehmen verankert werden, da viele verschiedene Hierarchieebenen und Abteilungen entlang der Value Chain in einen derartigen Entscheidungsprozess involviert sind.  Ein weiteres Hindernis auf dem Weg zu einer ganzheitlichen CSR-Strategie auf allen Unternehmensebenen besteht in der Kulturabhängigkeit von Corporate Social Responsibilty, die sich in uneinheitlichen Definitionen und unterschiedliche Umsetzungsaktivitäten zeigt.  Die sich daraus ergebenden Frage- und Problemstellungen werden in diesem Buch anhand von Fallbeispielen verschiedener Ländern illustriert, die unternehmerische Verantwortung und Compliance sehr unterschiedlich umgesetzt haben. Gemein ist ihnen dabei jedoch die Schwerpunktsetzung auf Themen wie die internationale Wertevermittlung und die CSR-Verankerung im Personalmanagement.  Daneben stehen auch Corporate Volunteering-Programme, das Flüchtlingsengagement sowie eine nachhaltige interkulturelle Zusammenarbeit entlang der Wertschöpfungskette häufig im Vordergrund der Tätigkeiten vieler Unternehmen. Ob als Führungskraft in der Wirtschaft oder Berater aus der Forschung, in diesem Buch finden Sie zahlreiche Konzepte und Instrumente zur Einbindung interkultureller Aspekte in die CSR-Strategie eines Unternehmens. Werden Sie jetzt aktiv und nutzen Sie die Erkenntnisse aus den vorgestellten Best Cases, um den Shareholder Value Ihres Unternehmens zu erhöhen.
