Subhabrata Bobby Banerjee

Chapter 3 in The Challenge of Organizing and Implementing Corporate Social Responsibility, 2006, pp 31-50 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter describes and critiques emerging discourses of corporate citizenship, social responsibility and sustainability, discusses some of the key assumptions that frame these discourses. It is argued that despite their emancipatory rhetoric the discourses are defined by narrow business interests and serve to curtail the interests of external stakeholders.
