CSR and Stakeholder Involvement: the Challenge of Organisational Integration

Chapter 14 in Corporate Social Responsibility, 2006, pp 245-254 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the survey of CSR published by The Economist in January of 2005, Clive Crook argues that the CSR movement has, at least on the face of it, won the battle of ideas concerning modern business capitalism. In fact, there has not been much of a battle at all, since the opponents have never really turned up. Unopposed, Crook argues, the various fractions of the CSR movement have managed to distil a widespread suspicion of capitalism into a set of demands for action: ‘they have held companies to account, by embarrassing the ones that especially offend against the principles of CSR, and by mobilising public sentiment and an almost universally sympathetic press against them. Intellectually, at least, the corporate world has surrendered and gone over to the other side’ (Crook, 2005: 3).
