Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility: Stakeholders in a Global Environment
"This books promises to be a new classic. It is authoritative and comprehensive, with excellent case studies, and it's written so as to be digestible by students."(Marjorie KellyBUSINESS ETHICS)"This textbook takes an innovative, imaginative, unique approach to the teaching of corporate social responsibility by providing a wealth of online sources, case studies, and print references to the general English-language literature of the CSR field."(William Frederick)"The approach is unique as compared with other CSR texts on the market.  It is precisely this novel approach that I think will appeal most to graduate students, who are looking for something different from their graduate school experience than just a lengthier repetition of the methods and materials covered in their undergraduate business school curriculums.  Further, they [the students] want to see immediate practical applicability of the concepts and methods learned in the classroom to their present career responsibilities, and I think the issue/mini-case/web-based examples/discussion question format in Section II of the book does that particularly well.   I would urge the adoption of such a text to the faculty who teach this course.  This book’s format is appealing for use in an MBA course in which students are more practically-oriented.  Overall, I think that this is a good treatise on CSR for the graduate audience it is intended."(Linda Clarke, Ph.D., J.D.)“The book maps the landscape of CSR, advocates a strategic approach taking global stakeholders into account, and presents a wealth of case studies to illustrate its points."(SocialFunds.com)"There is not a single entrepreneur today who is not talking about corporate social responsibility (CSR). Werther and Chandler help us realize that once you  see CSR in terms of its strategic implications for the core business you realize that well-understood business principles apply."(Indian Management)"The text presents a careful selection of content, being organized in such a way that it stimulates learning and provides convenient access to the extensive CSR literature that is readily available on the internet. The authors leave it up to the readers to form their own opinion on controversial and debatable issues, providing guidance to accessing information on the internet by seeking out the websites and documentation (online). Part III of the book is an invaluable appendix that makes this publication on vital addition to any professional or business library. It is intended as an additional resource for the reader who is interested in information beyond the case study references and URLs provided throughout the book."(Jose I. GalanCorporate Social Responsibility and Strategic Management)Hello Dr. Chandler,First of all - excellent CSR book. Your approach is comprehensive and fair. It simplifies teaching this course a great deal. Actually, in 4 years of teaching a CSR course - this is the first time I use a textbook!
