In search of corporate social responsibility: Introduction to special issue
这篇特刊引言将企业社会责任置于经济危机和商业伦理失败(如2012年里约+20地球峰会)的背景下,批判性评述其学术与实务现状,并探讨在普遍怀疑与嘲讽中未来可行的研究方向。
This introduction to the special issue aims to contextualize and critically comment on the current trajectory of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in both scholarly inquiry and business practice. It suggests that we must place it within the milieu of the ongoing economic crisis and the failure of a number of important opportunities to make business ethical (e.g. the 2012 Rio + 20 Earth Summit). It then suggests possible future terrain for tenable CSR research (and practice), especially in the context of widespread cynicism and disbelief regarding the claims of business ethicists in industry and the academy.
