An impressive, accessible volume that includes writing by a significant group of international scholars and practitioners, this handbook will prove instructive to CSR practitioners and students alike . (Ethical Corporation Magazine, 1 July 2011)

?Summing Up: Recommended. Research and faculty collections.? (Choice, 1 March 2012) If the publication of a handbook represents both the crystallization of research into a movement or field as well as serving as a platform for future studies, then this handsome and thorough title certainly serves both purposes well.? (Communication Director, 1 December 2011) An impressive, accessible volume that includes writing by a significant group of international scholars and practitioners, this handbook will prove instructive to CSR practitioners and students alike. (Ethical Corporation Magazine, 1 July 2011) ?This volume advances CSR research in two ways: the editors challenged the authors to confront its constituent paradoxes; and the respondents offered compelling critiques of the chapters in those terms.? - Charles Conrad, Texas A&M University ?An impressive, accessible volume including writings by a significant group of international scholars and practitioners. CSR communication is clearly and usefully delineated in relation to full array of traditional organization studies.? - Stan Deetz, University of Colorado, Boulder ?A handbook marks a significant moment in the development of a field. Ihlen, Bartlett, and May have done justice to that moment with a well organized and stimulating synthesis that provides a sound foundation for future CSR studies.? - David McKie, University of Waikato Management School ?The most comprehensive book on CSR communication yet. The editors have indeed provided 'the definitive collection for CSR communication' drawn from an outstanding team of international and cross-disciplinary contributors.? - Anne Gregory, Leeds Metropolitan University
