Critical perspectives on CSR and development: What we know, what we don't know, and what we need to know
Article Abstract:
Five researchers and practitioners on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the developing world argue that a management-oriented perspective on CSR and development is one-sided and that there are other issues that should form part of a critical research agenda on the issue. A discussion on what CSR initiatives can achieve in relation to improving conditions of workers and communities in the global South focuses on society's most vulnerable groups and adopts a people-centered perspective as a counterbalance to the dominant 'business case' perspective, which has significant implications for CSR practice.
