The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available
to read online. Societal grand challenges have moved from a
marginal concern to a mainstream issue within the field of
organization and management studies. Organizing for Societal Grand
Challenges unpacks how diverse forms of organizing help tackle - or
reinforce - grand challenges, while emphasizing the need for
researchers to expand their methodological repertoire and reflect
upon scholarly practices. This edited collection offers an
organizational perspective on societal grand challenges in three
sections: Diverse Forms of Organizing and Societal Grand
Challenges; Scholarship and Societal Grand Challenges; Reflections
and Outlook. The articles offer empirical and conceptual work that
focus on a wide variety of regions including Africa, Asia, Europe,
and South America, and engage with multiple grand challenges, such
as the COVID-19 pandemic, decent work, hunger, inequality, and
poverty. Drawing on varied theoretical lenses, the authors take
stock of recent developments in the literature, present an overview
of the current thinking, and set a foundation for future research
on grand challenges in organization and management studies. The
articles provide inspiration, insights, and instruments for
developing timely and relevant knowledge to engage with the
pressing societal grand challenges of our time.
This Element offers a thought-provoking and critical examination of
corporate social responsibility (CSR). CSR has entered the
boardroom and become a mainstream management concept for businesses
to address their ethical, social and environmental responsibilities
towards society. CSR does not come without contestation, and firms
engage in CSR for different reasons and exhibit different patterns
of CSR activities. These activities range from sincere action with
substantial social or environmental improvements to symbolic
impression management and the creation of a CSR-facade that is
little more than empty words. This Element illuminates and
scrutinizes contemporary approaches to CSR and offers a fresh
perspective for scholars, managers and decision-makers interested
in the societal role of business firms beyond maximizing
profitability. Christopher Wickert and David Risi take a step back
from how CSR is currently understood and practiced, and stimulate
readers to reflect on how to move CSR forward towards a more
inclusive concept.
