While the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities of small firms have been analysed to some extent, their engagement in international networks relating to CSR is less understood. Most of these networks primarily address the needs of multinational corporations. Surprisingly, however, the number of small firms participating in such institutions has substantially increased over recent years. But what is the reason for this new interest of SME in institutional forms of CSR? Based on a qualitative empirical study of German small firms’ participation in the most prominent CSR institution, the UN Global Compact, this book explores the drivers for small firm participation. The motivations are complex and do not follow the same hierarchical order associated with large business behaviour. Rather, reasons for institutional engagement suggest a heterarchical structure, where alignment is contingent upon factors such as individual CSR perception, self-conception or social environment. The book explains why small firms prefer to engage in sustainable development within institutionalised forms of CSR rather than act in isolation, and provides recommendations on how to support and thus increase SME participation in institutionalised forms of civic engagement.

Governing Urban Sustainability written by Lisa Pettibone and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2016-04-22 with Political Science categories.
In her study of the interactions between tools of urban sustainability governance in key cities, Lisa Pettibone argues that a new factor-sustainability-minded groups-may be critical to building momentum for sustainability. The book presents in-depth case studies of six cities in the USA and Germany: New York, Portland, Seattle, Berlin, Hamburg, and Heidelburg. Drawing on 75 interviews, document analysis, and a bilingual literature review, the book analyzes how sustainability is politically constructed in city strategic plans and sustainability indicators. The volume provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles of sustainability, discusses the key governance instruments relevant to urban sustainability, and delivers new empirical and theoretical material on their role in a sustainability transition. It concludes that despite the national-level differences, cities’ experiences in both countries are similar. Political sustainability at the city level differs in several important ways from academic principles of sustainability. Finally, it proposes that sustainability-minded groups may be a key link to connect urban sustainability in practice to theoretical concepts.

In the twenty-first century, as traditional divides are redefined, bargaining over corporate responsibilities has increasingly centred around corporate reputation and the question of whether businesses are part of society’s problems or part of their solution. This ground-breaking book treats issues, strategies and societal interaction in a homogenous manner and analyzes the nature of the international bargaining society as it has matured. Discussing and contextualizing contemporary debates on international corporate social responsibility, globalization and the impact of reputation, this key text integrates them into a new and coherent framework: Societal Interface Management. Using this unique framework, it explores the interfaces between international corporations, governments and civil society representatives. Analytic and revealing, the text applies the framework to in-depth studies of Nike, Shell, Triumph International, GlaxoSmithKline and ExxonMobil. It investigates the conflicts surrounding Burma, blood diamonds, child labour, oil spills, food safety, patents on HIV/AIDS medication and labour rights that have resulted in a large number of disciplining activities. An accompanying website (www.ib-sm.org) contains additional case studies, as well as issue dossiers on the challenges confronting international firms. Drawing on a wealth of experience both in research and teaching, the authors have developed a text that integrates reputation, responsibility, ethics and accountability. Clearly constructed, it is a must-have book for all those studying or teaching business ethics, political economics, economic geography, public relations, and corporate social responsibility.

Bringing together the fields of sociology, political science, and management and organization studies, Ursula Mühle offers in this unique volume an authoritative overview of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Mühle first considers the origins of CSR during the 1970s, highlighting the various approaches to CSR and explaining its early shortcomings. She then turns to the United Nations Global Compact and the Global Reporting Initiative to investigate why, since the mid-1990s, CSR has been on the rise. Finally, Mühle employs several case studies as well as interviews with business executives and politicians to illustrate why businesses worldwide now view CSR as a key component to their success. The Politics of Corporate Social Responsibility will be welcomed by scholars and CSR practitioners alike.

Global Governance describes on a normative level how companies can be responsible and sustainable actors in the international sphere. In times of globalization, failing financial systems and gridlocked political structures, these concepts gain critical importance. Maxim Baer revisits the discussion, leaves the traditional “international relations” perspective behind and examines leadership strategies of top-executives in large companies that enable firms to be part of Global Governance structures. A second focus lies on a possible impact of national culture on business leaders and their respective attitude towards elements of Global Governance. A German-French comparison has been conducted.

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Seit einigen Jahren erfährt der Begriff Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), häufig auch Corporate Responsibility (CR), mehr und mehr Beachtung. Das zeigen einerseits der stetig wachsende Umfang einschlägiger Literatur zu diesem Themenkomplex, andererseits auch eine erhöhte Medienpräsenz (nicht nur zuletzt durch die gegenwärtige Wirtschaftskrise). Darüber hinaus erlebt die Praxis einen regelrechten Corporate Responsibility Boom, der unter anderen durch unabhängige CR-Organisationen angeheizt wird. Dennoch steckt die heutige CR-Praxis - absolut betrachtet - national wie international noch in den Kinderschuhen. Der Titel dieser Arbeit „Corporate Responsibility im Trend“ kann im gegenwärtig von der Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise dominierten globalen Weltwirtschaftssystem ambivalent aufgefasst werden: (1) Häufig wird argumentiert, dass sich in wirtschaftlich schlechten Zeiten Unternehmen keine CR leisten können. Sie müssen ihre Kapazitäten und Kostenstrukturen in Rezessionen noch exakter planen, um Verluste im Tagesgeschäft möglichst gering zu halten und der Nachfragedämmung entgegenwirken, indem sie noch wettbewerbsfähiger werden. Dies sei nur über massive Restrukturierungen der Geschäftsprozesse möglich. (2) Andererseits lässt sich genauso schlüssig argumentieren, dass gerade in wirtschaftlich schlechten Zeiten eine CR-getriebene Unternehmensstrategie von immenser Bedeutung ist. Einerseits kann sie in der heutigen Zeit, wo CR noch lange kein allgemeiner Standard ist, einen Wettbewerbsvorteil generieren (ein gegenwärtig sehr stark eingesetztes Argument für CR), andererseits trägt eine zum Unternehmen passende Integration gesellschaftlicher Verantwortung zu einer nachhaltigen und gesunden Unternehmensentwicklung bei. Auch nach der Großen Depression Mitte der 1930er wurde über stärkere soziale Verantwortung von Unternehmen diskutiert. Letztlich wird der Ausgang einer solchen Debatte signifikant vom Auffassungsverständnis über Corporate Responsibility entschieden. Dass Corporate Responsibility für Unternehmen auch global immer wichtiger wird, zeigen zwei aktuelle Beispiele: Ein Gericht in New York traf nach sieben Jahren im April 2009 eine Entscheidung mit möglicherweise weitreichenden Folgen: Opfer der Apartheidszeit in Südafrika können Unternehmen klagen, welche zwischen 1948 und 1994 Geschäft mit der Regierung in Pretoria machten und damit direkt oder indirekt die Unterdrückung von Farbigen unterstützten.
