مسئولیت اجتماعی شرکت ها در حال حاضر بسیار مهم تر از همیشه است، زیرا جامعه به عنوان یک کل به چالش ها در مقیاس جهانی پاسخ می دهد - از تداوم درگیری های ملی گرایی گرفته تا زنجیره های تامین بین المللی، مشکلات ناشی از بحران تغییرات آب و هوایی، تا ادامه مسئله برده داری در عصر مدرن کتابچه راهنمای مسئولیت اجتماعی شرکت پالگریو یک مرور جامع و معتبر از CSR در همه اشکال آن است که تحقیقات بینرشتهای متعددی را از دانشگاهیان محترم در رشتههای خود ارائه میدهد. این شامل همه چیز از مبانی نظری برای CSR، به جنبه های زیست محیطی CSR، از جمله پاسخ به تغییرات آب و هوا و کاهش منابع. جامعه و مسئولیت اجتماعی، از جمله تعادل بین کار و زندگی و برده داری مدرن؛ جنبه های منطقه ای CSR (بررسی CSR در کشورهای توسعه یافته و در حال توسعه و ارائه بررسی عمیق از آمریکای لاتین، آفریقا و خاورمیانه). این به عنوان منبعی برای مخاطبان علمی جهانی است که به دنبال ارائه دقیق حساب های اصلی مسئولیت اجتماعی شرکت در مقیاس بین المللی هستند.
Corporate Social Responsibility is more crucial now than ever, as society as a whole responds to challenges on a global scale - from the continuing strife nationalism causes to international supply chains, to the problems posed by the climate change crisis, to the continuingissue of slavery in the modern age. The Palgrave Handbook of Corporate Social Responsibility is a comprehensive, authoritative overview of CSR in all its forms, providing a multiplicity of interdisciplinary tertiary research from esteemed academics in their fields. It will cover everything from the theoretical basis for CSR, to environmental aspects of CSR, including responses to climate change and resource depletion; society and CSR, including work-life balance and modern slavery; regional aspects of CSR (reviewing CSR in both developed and developing countries, and providing an in-depth examination of Latin America, Africa and the Middle East). It is aimed as a resource for a global scholarly audience looking for a detailed presentation of majoraccounts of corporate social responsibility on an international scale.
