Corporate Social Responsibility in the Health Sector
The pandemic that struck in late 2019 - the coronavirus, commonly referred to as COVID-19 - affected every country in the world. This book examines how the pandemic has impacted healthcare institutions worldwide, and focuses on the international experience of COVID-19 in terms of healthcare delivery since 2019 and today. It highlights how healthcare facilities around the world have managed and continue to manage their obligations to their citizens. The book’s goal is to improve our understanding of the many negative and positive impacts of the pandemic on various aspects of our lives, including the health aspect, and how healthcare institutions could expand their ability to manage similar pandemics in the future without seriously compromising their ability to address other, regular health issues. At the same time, it takes a closer look at CSR, sustainability, ethics, and governance issues related to the pandemic, as well as current CSR practices in each of the countries reviewed. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to a broad readership including researchers, practitioners, and students concerned with the pandemic’s societal and public health implications.
Professionals ́ Perspectives of Corporate Social Responsibility
Since the general acceptance of the field of corporate social responsibility worldwide, corporate entities and those who act for them either as executives or "ordinary" employees are expected to be socially responsible. Being socially responsible has a number of quantifiable and unquantifiable benefits for the entity and its stakeholders. It improves the entity’s bottom line results, protects jobs, and is also better for the environment. As such, it makes good sense for professionals and those that they interact with as colleagues, suppliers of goods and services, lenders etc to want to take the issue of CSR seriously. This perhaps explains why this book has chosen to explore how 19 professions across the world have integrated and continue to impress upon their staff the importance of CSR in their operational activities. We are constantly reminded that our world’s natural resources are exhaustible; we can therefore no longer live for today alone if we do not want to cause substantial problems for future generations.
Theory and Practice of Corporate Social Responsibility
Modern businesses and organizations understand that corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become an important factor for sustainable success. At the same time CSR has established itself as a widely accepted element of courses in managerial training and education. This book, designed to support CSR teaching, collects 14 essays that clearly illustrate and explain the benefits and challenges of socially responsible corporate policies. Aligning theory and practice, the book focuses on four central themes: management, environment and sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and accounting and financial reporting. Business students and experienced managers alike will find this book a valuable resource that helps them to discover the strong forces that link successful management with corporate social responsibility.
Innovative CSR
By and large, corporations of the 21st century have come to realise that their obligations to societies in terms of corporate social responsibility are fourfold: economic, ethical, altruistic and strategic. Meeting these four responsibilities is crucial to their survival in their various markets and industries; it also requires them to rewrite their previously less socially responsible business models in order to do so. All indications continue to suggest that it is those organisations that are perceived to be socially responsible by stakeholders in modern markets that survive and prosper. Corporations have equally realised that by being innovative in all things – including their CSR activ...

Global Practices of Corporate Social Responsibility
Being socially responsible on the part of corporate entities is now no longer an option, it is part of their normal business obligations to all their stakeholders regardless of whether these are primary or secondary stakeholders. Modern societies around the world now expect corporate entities of all shapes and forms to be socially responsible in whatever they do; the “Global Practices of Corporate Social Responsibility” is a first attempt at bringing together in one book experts' accounts of how corporate entities in twenty independent nations around the world are dealing with the issue of CSR. The world today faces diverse social problems. These become apparent as one moves from one country to the next, interestingly, society now expects corporations to help in finding solutions to these problems. The problem of global warming affects us all; modern corporations can no longer continue to assume that the problem will go away, if nothing is done by them. We can all make a little difference by our actions.
Corporate Social Responsibility
In today's global business environment it is no longer acceptable that a corporation does well simply by doing good. It is expected. With increasing pressures from stakeholders to improve the bottom line as well as to be good corporate citizens, business leaders face tough decisions. What social issues should we support? What initiatives should we develop that will do the most good for the company as well as the cause? Do we include social messages in our advertising, encourage our employees to volunteer, do we modify our business practices? How do we integrate a new initiative into current strategies? These and other challenges will continue to face future leaders. This book provides thoughtful answers to these important questions, and to many more. The book offers suggestions on how to choose among major worthy causes and also how to measure the amount of good achieved both for the recipients and the companies themselves. Of course, all is not only about challenges, there are loads of opportunities that go along with them but it’s only responsible and sustainable leaders who would be able to spot these opportunities. That is the future which awaits 21st century leaders.
Sclavia în Africa antică și contemporană
Sclavia în Africa istorică a fost practicată în multe forme diferite: Sclavia datoriei, sclavia captivilor de război, sclavia militară, sclavia pentru prostituție și sclavia criminală au fost practicate în diferite părți ale Africii. Sclavia în scopuri interne și judecătorești a fost răspândită în toată Africa. Sclavia plantațiilor a avut loc, de asemenea, în principal pe coasta de est a Africii și în părți din Africa de Vest. Importanța sclaviei plantațiilor domestice a crescut în secolul al XIX-lea, datorită abolirii. Multe state africane dependente de comerțul internațional cu sclavi și-au reorientat economiile către comerțul legitim lucrat de munca sclavilor.
Istoria sclaviei: De la antichitate la colonialismul spaniol în America
Istoria sclaviei se întinde pe mai multe culturi, naționalități și religii din cele mai vechi timpuri până în prezent. Cu toate acestea, pozițiile sociale, economice și juridice ale sclavilor au diferit foarte mult în diferite sisteme de sclavie în diferite perioade și locuri. Dovezile sclaviei sunt anterioare înregistrărilor scrise; practica a existat în multe, dacă nu chiar în majoritatea culturilor. Sclavia a avut loc în civilizații vechi ca Sumer, precum și în aproape orice altă civilizație antică, inclusiv Egiptul antic, China antică, Imperiul Akkadian, Asiria, Babilonia, Persia, Grecia antică, India antică, Imperiul Roman, Califatul arab islamic și Sultanatul, Nubia și civilizațiile precolumbiene ale Americii. Sclavia antică reprezintă un amestec de sclavie datorie, pedeapsă pentru crimă, înrobirea prizonierilor de război, abandonarea copiilor,și nașterea copiilor sclavi.
