Corporate Social Responsibility and International Development

Challenging the traditional view of corporate roles, this book argues that corporations should take an active part in global development efforts, especially as governments and UN agencies have struggled to combat poverty and under-development. It posits that the private sector, leveraging its economic strength and influence through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, holds the key to effective solutions for these pressing issues. The text advocates for a shift in responsibility towards businesses to foster meaningful change in society.
