This book is a compilation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
theory and practices, with special reference to the Indian context.
Over the last few decades, which have seen the onset of
globalization, emergence of the industrial sector and an increased
focus on community development, much attention has been focused on
the role of corporations towards developing those societies where
their operations are based. The introduction and evolution of CSR
theories and practice in the developed countries has given CSR
theorists and practitioners the guidance to appropriately place and
implement CSR initiatives to help develop their role in the
developed societies. However, while ample literature exists on such
CSR practices, little has been done to aid the development of CSR
in developing countries. Characterized by peculiar economic,
political and social settings, the developing world needed its own
blueprint for how CSR works and how it could best succeed. The need
for doing is especially pertinent to a country like India, which is
presently at a very crucial threshold, economically, politically
and socially. Given the need to contextualize CSR theory and
practice to the developing context, several CSR theories and
practices have been explored in this book, which will provide
readers with a thorough understanding of CSR and its successful
implementation.

This book is a culmination of sustained research work on the
evaluation of cricket and its management to imbibe a balance
between its various formats by using data and analytics. The book
has identified three primary stakeholders-administrators, players
and spectators-each having their own ambitions. In order for
convergence of these ambitions, it has prescribed the networked
governance in place of hierarchic governance for the International
Cricket Council (ICC), the cricket's apex body. This book aims at
creating a balance between formats that each country should play.
There is as much dearth of academic research on this topic, as
there is abundance of individual viewpoints from professionals
related to the game. Hence at the outset, the book has created a
action points and has underlined the lack of convergence with
present way of governance. This book has created a meta-metric
framework for formative assessment of influence across cricket
formats. In order to assess the influence of T20 on test matches
and on India's performance, a comparison between pre-IPL period
(1998-2007) and post-IPL period (2008-2017) by using this framework
has been done.
