Zusatztext "This book presents a synthesis of the most recent work on stakeholder management and opens up new fields of research. But! more deeply! it addresses the issue of corporate responsibility from the most relevant and fruitful angle: seeing reponsibility as relationship management." - Prof. Hervé Dumez! École polytechnique and CNRS (France)"The book provides a treasure trove of international scholars' perspectives on stakeholder engagement. Consistent with Jerry Calton's and Stephen Payne's seminal work on multi-stakeholder dialogue and reciprocal sensemaking! the contributions address the communicative foundations of stakeholder engagement and examine its implications for organizational performance! throughout the value chain. Implicit in these important theoretical and empirical efforts is the increasing importance of relationships with individual stakeholders-rather than broad! generic stakeholder groups or collectives. Timely! context-sensitive! and comprehensive." - Prof. Marc Orlitzky!
