Read the full review - CSRwire! 17 August 2010 - Elaine CohenThis book offers a very useful! quick to access! reference guide for the differing approaches to corporate social responsibility (CSR) found around the world. The consistent formatting of the book lends itself to easy readability! with easily accessible quick "takeaway lessons" by country. However! this can also be a shortcoming as one could argue this runs the risk of feeding the reader (who is likely to be a practitioner looking for a quick solution) with an oversimplifications of CSR in the form of overly high level generalizations. CSR is inherently complex! and inherently cultural. This book takes a step in the right direction in acknowledging there are many differing approaches to CSR! and it does so in an interesting way that will hopefully help to encourage industry to engage with and be a bit more sensitive to the differing needs of stakeholders across the planet.
