One way of looking at corporate social responsibility (CSR) is as a set of questions, the answers to which are constantly evolving as the discipline continues to define itself. According to Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility (Sage Publications 2006), questions include: "Who defines the boundaries between private profits and public good?" and "Can the interests of firms, owners, and other stakeholders be aligned, or are they inherently in conflict?"
"Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility provides a framework within which readers can explore and answer these questions for themselves," state authors William Werther and David Chandler, both professors in the Center for Nonprofit Management at the University of Miami.
The book seeks to clarify confusion around CSR through a hands-on approach, providing resources (many of them Web-based in recognition of the transitory nature of the field) and provoking thought through a wealth of case studies.
