This book takes a critical view on corporate practice, governmental action and the general approach to Corporate Social Responsibility. It draws on experience from the Workplace Innovation movement and argues that, as with motherhood and apple pie, it is hard to oppose CSR, with a community of well-meaning people. It is however necessary to challenge the foundations on which it is based. Many accounts of CSR assume a consistent model of capitalism around the world. It is suggested that capitalism can be given a human face, as companies adopt programmes which go beyond the minimum legal requirements. This builds on traditions of optional corporate philanthropy. However, without changing the u...
In the emerging new collaborative economic order, innovation is achieved by an integrated process of collaboration between policymakers, business and society. Often, the focus for this collaboration is at a regional level. Creating Collaborative Advantage examines the trends in innovation policy that reflect this new thinking and regional focus.

It explores collaboration at business level, business networks between companies, and a wider collaborative coalition between business and public authorities. It is not ...

Citizenship is not a spectator sport; it is all about engagement. From Slavery to Citizenship is part of a bigger picture - a development process which will enable us to gain more control over our own lives and to participate in decisions about the future direction of society and the organisations we are involved in. This book is unusual in suggesting that slavery is not a remote historical phenomenon, but a fundamental component of our present. People have been slaves in the past and some people are enslaved today. The subject of slavery is highly charged with emotion. From Slavery to Citizenship seeks to facilitate dialogue and to bridge gaps. This is not easy as people have been speaking ...

This book explores recent developments in the theory, strategic perspective and international practice of corporate social responsibility.

It takes into account social and governmental expectations for the new and extended role of companies in the economy and in society, and provides a new context and theoretical assumptions regarding the functions and tasks of corporate social responsib...
With the changing economic environment, the Editors question what impact this will have on applied researchers around the world. What can we learn from their cases? What can one region learn from another? With increased pressure on researchers to achieve academic reputation, how does this fit with the demands for greater practical applicability? For them, applied research is seen as a vital part of the infrastructure for economic and social development, in the region and beyond.
My thesis is basically intended for theological and philosophical students and at the same-time their lecturers in biblical theology, systematic theology and philosophy of religion. There is no doubt in my mind that these disciplines must surgically forcefully put through the hermeneutical operation of radicalism and liberation black theology and black studies. Because liberation black theology and black studies are both pertinent and existential to black people not only in the diaspora but principally within the demography of Africa. Why? Because Africa is the social, economic, political, scientific, spiritual, theological and psychological incubation chamber with the legacies of the transa...
Sykes and Picot designed a map of the Middle East which was fatal and flawed. They changed the map many times until they agreed to partition Kurdistan to 5 parts, when small nations such as the Kurd yearn for freedom from the grip of the aggressor, there are two paths along which they must go. The first one is whether or not you are strong enough to combat those who wish to keep you down and the second way is to study International law and see whether or not it is possible to establish yourself by following the rules laid down. know I will follow the rule of law of law and use the Kurdish Oil for re unaeted and free Kurdistan. It was the Kurdish Oil which transformed the process of industrialization from coal as source of energy to Oil, four hundred Billion Barrels of oil and four trillion cubic of Gas, asking for re united and Independent KurdLand) In Kurdish: (????? ???????? ??? ????????? ?? ???? ?????? ???? ?? ???????? ????? ????????? ????? ?????? ?????? ????????? ????? ?? ?????? ????????? ?? ????? ???? ??? ????? ?????? ???? ? ??????? ????? ???? ?????? ?????? ????? ????????? ????? ??????????? ????????? ???????? ?????.)
