"Corporate Social Responsibility and Leadership" provides the
needed tools for local and global business leaders - whether
entrepreneur, CEO, executive, officer, or manager- to act in a
legal, ethical, and socially responsible manner. Acting in a
responsible way will require business leaders to be cognizant of
various stakeholder interests as well as the ability to balance
conflicting constituencies in a fair manner. The result should be
the creation of long-term, sustainable value, not "merely" for the
shareholders but also for the employees, customers, communities,
and all the stakeholders of the organization, including society as
a whole. Besides the author, a few of the other contributing
writers to this book from Afghanistan, Thailand, Pakistan, and
Argentina are Bahaudin G. Mujtaba, Seeting "Grace" Zaelor, Muhammad
Zeb Khan, and Isabel Rimanoczy. It is hoped that the book supplies
a reminder, a rationale, and a guide for legal, ethical, and
socially responsible behavior, as well as a warning of the "fruits
from the poisonous tree"; and consequently the book serves as a
tool for true business success, stakeholder responsibility, and
organizational and societal sustainability.
