Blurb

International Business and Society is the first text to explore the breadth of business and society topics – corporate social performance, business ethics, business–government relations, stakeholder management, and issues management/public affairs – within the broader context of the international environment.

The book takes knowledge and understanding developed within uni–societal studies of business and society and extends the frame of reference to the international arena. To facilitate this exploration, the authors offer many new frameworks and conceptualizations such as the "institutional ideological model" and "stakeholder power bases" while they continue to address the more conventional topics of the field.
