This book explores the role of integrity in business and discusses why all leaders seek to have it. The author argues that it is less about ‘having’ integrity as an attribute, and more about practising it. The Practice of Integrity in Business examines how taking responsibility for ideas, values and practices, as well as accountability and wider creative responsibility for sustaining business, all contribute to the perceived integrity of an organization or business leader. Providing methods through which integrity can be learned, the author demonstrates the importance of practice, learning, dialogue and developing a narrative in forming the basis of trust. The book offers a view of integrity in which ideas, values and practice come together to make business and social sense, and to form the basis of mutual challenge and creativity.

It uses detailed real-life case studies of executive decision making to explore and illustrate the discussion. The book deals with the emergence of corporate governance as a framework of checks and balances on executive decision-making, before moving to the core issues of governance during financial distress and insolvency and alternative informal and formal rescue.

Linking these two crucial business functions, it describes the preconditions for successful integration and the tools for practical implementation. Volume 1 covers corporate governance from the perspective of CSR, where responsible and sustainable business is a common goal and the tasks are to create core values, business policy and organizational strategies.

In this book we capture and explore different aspects of value in corporate social responsibility (CSR). This includes the historical development of value in CSR, how value is linked to a positive vision of the future, and how it is communicated by a range of private and public organisations to various audiences. The book contrasts corporate strategic value with co-operative value, and community value in the context of sustainable development. It explains how leaders’ values can drive responsible business practice and enhance social cohesion, solidarity and resilience in fractured and unequal communities. The book asks the reader to consider what value means in CSR for business and society, where it comes from and how it is enacted, alongside its broader purpose and value to the community. Finally, the book presents CSR as a global project by noting how values are cultural and how sustainability has become an urgent international priority.

It has become increasingly clear that promotion of sustainability initiatives by governments and other public institutions alone is not enough to bring about the necessary progress in tackling the ‘Grand Challenges’ of climate change and inequality. A higher level of involvement is required from companies, as the main agents of economic development. Therefore, research is needed to determine how the desired levels of sustainability can be achieved through each of the spheres (public and private) as well as by considering collaboration between both. This book analyses Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainability from a public-private perspective, considering the actions of stakeholders belonging to both the private and public scopes, their ability to collaborate and the paradigmatic relationship between CSR and sustainability as it moves across the public and private spheres. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of sustainability strategy, CSR, policy and corporate governance, as well as internal and external stakeholders engaged in corporate policy and strategic management.

This two-volume edited collection is intended to be a contribution to humankind’s efforts to find its way out from the global long-lasting socio-economic crises that have been visible in one form or another since 2008 and has been caused by the monopolistic abuse of free markets and democracy and the replacement of the Keynesian economic model and state capitalism with neoliberalism. The carefully chosen contributions rest on three principles, that we can achieve neither social responsibility nor sustainability if we do not incorporate innovation into a given practice, the importance of non-technological and user-friendly innovations in mutual relations, and the role of technological innovations that make healthy living and work easier.This first volume explores societal development from neoliberalism to Innovative Sustainable Socially Responsible Society (ISSRS) and the necessity for good governance supporting sustainable behaviour and social responsibility. Topics covered include well-being managers, the impact of artificial intelligence, Sustainable Occupation Safety and Health and resolving differences and conflicts between generations. This academically grounded work will be of great interest to students and scholars of sustainability, innovation management, digital business and sociologists of work.

Public Administration is often below the Social Responsibility literature radar, thus leaving an important gap. The purpose of this book is to fill this gap and boost research on the field of social responsibility of Public Administration. Public Administration has many roles in modern societies. From transparency of internal data and social performance reporting to digitalization, tackling climate change, enhancing economic growth, fostering institutions and mitigating inequality, we need a responsible Public Administration. This collection is an effort to clarify what we mean by social responsibility, why it is elusive in the literature, how we can measure it, and how much of it is applicable to public administration.Divided into three logical sections, the contributions explore theory and provide sectoral analyses and country cases, including a global overview of social responsibility in public administration. With an emphasis on practice and case studies, this volume will be of interest to scholars and students in schools of public administration and business, and in courses of corporate social responsibility, sustainability, public management and ethics. This book provides a novel look at the basic ideas of Social Responsibility and three models for the social responsibility of public administration.

This book explores conceptualizations of CSR and sustainability in the digital economy, focusing upon points of intersection between CSR and online communities. Reflecting on new areas of responsibility that organisations must face in a globalised economy, the contributions explore the ways CSR is being communicated, challenged and reshaped in a rapidly evolving online context. Up-to-date research from around the world shows how diverse communities, citizens and stakeholders are engaging with, and making demands on, organisations in novel ways that pay little respect to international borders. With online communities increasingly influencing the way in which business is carried out and perceived, the case studies explored here offer a useful indication of the variety of new developments and controversies that have emerged in the field of CSR. This book will appeal to postgraduate students and researchers of CSR and CSR communications, as well as communication, public relation and corporate responsibility practitioners.
