Topics range from defining CSR to leadership to metrics and reporting, with cases that illustrate each of the important subjects. The book provides a thorough grounding in all of the relevant topics, as well as practice in dealing with social issues through the lens of cases that learners can grapple with to bring the concepts alive. As David Cooperrider says in his foreword, the book helps us recognize, as Peter Drucker did, that in every social issue--and there are many today--there is an opportunity.<br/>--Sandra Waddock<br><br><p>This book is the turning point where traditional CSR thinking and practice are transformed to help meet the biggest business opportunity in history: global responsibility in leadership and practice through integrative responsibility to the self, the other and the whole. The emergent modes of thinking, acting and being that are required from business and management are brought to life in these pages. The book provides insight and inspiration to organisations and leaders worldwide as they strive to do well by doing good. </p> <br/> </p>--John North<br><br>Born out of frustration for lack of a good teaching handbook, Dr. Debbie Haski-Leventhal has produced a state-of-the-art resource on strategic corporate social responsibility which she describes as [a] holistic business approach that demonstrates responsibility in its strategy and core operations, while working from a multi-stakeholder perspective and with a long-term focus. Through the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) initiative we have worked with Haski-Leventhal on key research to determine the attitudes of current business school students to responsible management education. With this book, Haski-Leventhal adds another critical contribution to transforming management education to become the best for the world. This is a key resource for learners and practitioners who are interested in strategic corporate responsibility.--Jonas Haertle<br><br>One of those books that will become something of a timeless anchor point. Quite simply, Debbie Haski-Leventhal has written the best textbook on strategic CSR I've ever seen, one I've been waiting for without quite knowing it, for a long time. This book is Drucker-like - it is transcendent; It is about the biggest business opportunity of the 21st century; and it is a book written with such grace, such relevance, and so creative in terms of engaging questions that learners, and executive educators, will love it. It unites the best in learning theory with the worldwide movement to educate globally responsible managers who possess the mindsets and mental models, the positive leadership qualities, and the intrinsic sense of purpose needed to unite success with significance.--David Cooperrider<br>
