Opis

This book explores the evolution of corporate social responsibility (CSR) across the developing world, with a particular focus on China and sustainable development. Through an extensive review of the literature and relevant case studies, the book examines whether CSR can make a contribution to sustainable development, how the patterns of CSR in developed Western economies compare to the rapidly growing economy of China, what trade-offs take place between CSR and economic growth as well as the future of CSR in China and other developing countries and its possible impact on the global sustainable development agenda.
