Abstract:

Our ancestors looked to the stars, soothsayers or signs from natural phenomena to determine their future plans of action, yet in modern times people throughout the world consult the FTSE100, the Dow Jones or other market share indices for wisdom. The forces of globalisation have been accused of producing a world without wonderment, dictated by numbers and, "projecting us into a shapeless planetary space that no expectation could dominate" (1998). The great challenge of globalisation is to understand its power in reanimating the corporation and the consequent ramifications for people and societies.

There are however many different perspectives upon what is meant by corporate social responsibility and how this might be applied within organisations. This book explores some of these different perspectives based upon the experiences of different people in different parts of the world. This book recognises the international scope of the interest in corporate social responsibility both through the contributions made by the authors of the respective chapters, who come from various parts of the world, and also through the international importance of the perspectives offered by these contributors.
