Sustainable Economy:Corporate, Social and Environmental Responsibility

Edited by Raymond W Y Kao

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: This book explains how corporate social responsibility is linked to long-term sustainability of an economy and that the activities of an organization should not be only for its self-interest, but must also be honed for the benefit of common good. A major approach the book advocates is corporate decision-makers in an organization should work towards earning the trust of stakeholders rather than focus on short-term profitability. It also emphasizes the importance of recognizing and rewarding the contribution and commitment by participants of an organization.
