Recenzje

'From a combined perspectives of law, economics, and business sciences, Osuji and Ngwu point to creative ways that a mainly firm-based governance orthodoxy can be adapted into a tool for enabling sustainable development in the developing world, where regulations are scarcely enforced. And for this creativity to work, regulators and policy makers in these countries must be open-minded, eclectic, and adventurous in their use of CSR.' Kalu Ojah, Professor of Finance, Wits Business School, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa
