Chapter 7 in Socially Responsible Business Models for International Brands, 2026, pp 127-158 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: Comprehending the intricacies of organisational theory is an indispensable requirement for attaining proficiency in management and leadership. This chapter aims to elucidate how leadership can potentially propel socially responsible organisations forward by delving into the commonly employed leadership theories within the context of corporate social responsibility. This chapter also sheds light on practical leadership styles in the international arena. While several leadership styles can be applied to both managers and leaders in pursuit of the general goals outlined in this book, this chapter particularly scrutinises select styles that are practical and applicable to the pressing contemporary issues faced by socially responsible organisations. Moreover, the ensuing discussion explicates the impact of leadership on social obligations. This chapter culminates with a compelling case study that endeavours to identify and evaluate the leadership influences in business.
