In business, does it pay to be good? Drawing from two decades of
published conceptual and empirical scholarship, this book outlines
the mechanisms of the business case for corporate social
responsibility and demonstrates the conditions that cause good
corporate acts to succeed, or fail, in turning a profit. Central to
the explanation is the role of stakeholders, who are portrayed as
agents who can turn corporate ''good into gold'' but lack the
capacity to do so consistently. This book takes a critical
perspective, noting significant limits on the ability of
stakeholders to reward good corporate behavior and rein in bad
corporate acts. It concludes with several ways that scholars can
improve this important and popular research topic. Using arguments
built from two decades of highly cited and award-winning published
scholarship, Michael L. Barnett uses strong theoretical building
blocks and a well-vetted critical perspective to chart the
boundaries of the business case for corporate social
responsibility. The original introduction organizes and integrates
this world-class research into a coherent and convincing story,
while the original concluding chapter takes the reader beyond the
current literature and provides a path forward that can build a
better business case. A multifaceted mix of conceptual and
empirical work across levels of analysis (individual, firm, and
industry) provides a comprehensive perspective, warts and all. This
critical and approachable collection will be a key resource for
management scholars, from doctoral students to senior professors,
whether they seek to gain a foothold on the core topic of the
relationship between business and society or wish to find a way to
add to this rich literature. The book would fit as a resource in
doctoral seminars and university libraries. Consulting firms and
practitioners may also take interest, as they prepare for, and
prepare others for, leadership roles in corporations.
