Business & society : a strategic approach to social responsibility and ethics

Social responsibility is presented as the extent to which a business adopts a strategic focus for fulfilling the economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic responsibilities expected by all its stakeholders. In this 6th edition, the authors present the most up-to-date findings in the field, describe best practices, encourage student decision-making, provide cutting-edge cases, and inspire the application of social responsibility principles to a variety of situations and organizations.
