Corporate social responsibility : a historical review -- Corporate social responsibility : theoretical perspectives -- The stakeholder theory of the firm : a critical perspective -- The problem with corporate citizenship -- The dilemmas of CSR and corporate citizenship -- The perils of sustainability -- The business of human rights -- The political economy of CSR -- Alternate visions.
This challenging and somewhat controversial book provides a critical perspective on contemporary discourses of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Subhabrata Bobby Banerjee questions the win-win assumptions of CSR and identifies the limits of the good that corporations can do, illustrating that the ability of firms to enhance social welfare is constrained by their current form and purpose; that of a shareholder value maximizing entity.
