Reviews

Advance praise: 'Christian Thauer gives us a fresh take on the motives behind corporate social responsibility. Rather than altruism or shamming campaigns, Thauer develops a novel theoretical argument focusing on the self-interests of the firm. He backs up his claim with detailed case studies of companies across a range of developing economies and industrial sectors. The book offers both analytic and empirical bite.' Abraham Newman, Georgetown University, Washington DC Advance praise: 'This is a valuable contribution to scholarship on corporate social responsibility (CSR), and undoubtedly will spur further research into intra-firm dynamics as explanations for CSR policies and practices.' Susan Sell, George Washington University, Washington DC
