Governments and Corporate Social Responsibility
This book presents an analytical framework for understanding how governments develop policies of corporate social responsibility. The research analyses CSR public policies in 15 European Union countries. It defines four models of governmental approach from a relational perspective that encompasses the relationships between all the various stakeholders (governments, businesses and civil society). It also takes into account the socioeconomic context in which these relationships stand.
The Relational Company
Recent years have seen a great debate and much progress in corporate social responsibility (CSR). Headway has been made in the development of the CSR agenda and the dissemination of management models. All these advances have been accompanied by an ideological debate that paradoxically always leads to a call for greater clarification of what is meant by CSR. This book stands at this crossroads. It can be seen as a chronicle and at the same time a synthesis of this whole debate. Yet ultimately it proposes a way of understanding CSR and a way of approaching it, and as such also takes sides in the debate. By making a distinction between social action, corporate social responsibility, the respons...

Ethics and Organizations
This book is a study of the core issues in the field of business ethics from both an historical and a systematic standpoint. It analyzes corporate social responsibility, stakeholders, ethical codes, corporate cultures, and other issues. But the analysis takes place within a framework specially designed by the author in order to integrate the various dimensions of present-day business ethics. This integration is linked to an interpretation of business ethics as an organizational learning process in the context of the social and cultural changes caused by the emergence of a knowledge society. This approach makes it possible to adopt a focus and language, which can simultaneously take into account ethical concerns and corporate and organizational development. A previous version of the book (written in Catalan) was awarded the 1998 Joan Sardà Dexeus prize for best book on corporate economics by the Catalan Association of Economists.
Socratic Dialogue
Giving Voice to Values is a very important tool that has helped many professionals better align what they do with what they value and believe. This book introduces the methodology of Socratic Dialogue as a complementary set of tools for creating spaces of joint reflection in which one can gain clarity about one’s values and gain the confidence to voice them effectively. Socrates’ main concern was to progressively reach a higher alignment between ideas and actions: that is, to achieve a harmony between what we think, what we say and what we do. The first step to giving voice to our values involves introspection and dialogue with others – which is how we can become aware of what we reall...

Ética y empresa
Este estudio indaga la posibilidad de hacer «ética sin sermones»; es decir, de hacer propuestas éticas que sean viables organizativamente y que se puedan integrar en las prácticas empresariales. En otras palabras, pretende articular una perspectiva capaz de tener en cuenta, simultáneamente, la preocupación ética y el desarrollo de las empresas y organizaciones. En este sentido, el autor explora los planteamientos de la ética empresarial y los sitúa en el contexto de la transformación social y cultural provocada por la emergencia de la sociedad de la información. La base de este trabajo es un estudio detallado de las aportaciones de la «Business Ethics», a partir del que se propone un marco de referencia que permite dar respuesta a la preocupación por desarrollar un enfoque de la ética empresarial adecuado a nuestra realidad económica y social. La versión original catalana de este libro fue premiada en 1998 con el premio Joan Sardà Dexeus al mejor libro de Economía de la Empresa convocado por la «Revista Económica de Catalunya», del Colegio de Economistas de Catalunya.
