| Summary: | "This book provides a critical perspective on contemporary discourses of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Subhabrata Bobby Banerjee questions the win-win assumptions of CSR and identifies the limits of the good that corporations can do, illustrating that the ability of firms to enhance social welfare is constrained by their current form and purpose; that of a shareholder value maximizing entity." "The book shows how supranational institutions such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organization are complicit in an 'economic capture' of social issues through a combination of material, institutional and discursive power that results in undermining economic democracy. Taking a political economy perspective, the author analyses recent conflicts between transnational corporations and local communities in developing countries and exposes the limits of stakeholder theory in addressing the needs of marginalized communities. He concludes by discussing alternatives to the current system that could result in meaningful social outcomes, and provides a critical research agenda for CSR." "Linking theory to practice, this critical look at corporate social responsibility will provide much material to fuel the debate amongst academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of management, international business and marketing ."--BOOK JACKET. |

Corporate Social Responsibility
'This is
a tour de
force that carefully assembles and incisively interrogates perhaps
the most pressing problem of our age: how to harness the resources of corporations
to tackle global problems of poverty, oppression and environmental degradation?
Baneqee does not present us with glib pronouncements or simplistic fixes, instead,
he brilliantly illuminates the scale of the challenges and lucidly assesses the
relevance and value of CSR responses to date.
'
-
Hugh Wilimott, University of Cardiff, UK
'Bobby Banetfee takes on the popular mythologies of neo-liberal corporate social
responsibility with enviable flair and a thoroughness of scholarship that will dismay
its apologists. His critique extends from the origins of the modem corporation and
its well-known abuses and excesses to far harder targets
-
the more attractive
alternatives that have been developed for theory and practice that, as
ßaner/ee
shows brilliantly, only serve to mask continuing neo-colonial abuses. Banetfee is not
content simply to expose the impossibilities of doing good works whilst maximizing
shareholder value, the win-win view of CSR, but he bites the bullet with some
uncompromising but realistic proposals for the future reconstruction of CSR both as
a field of study and as a business practice. We have needed this exposure of the
bad and the ugly for a long time. The current versions of CSR are simply just not
good enough.

Stephen Linstead, University of York, UK
'Baneqee pulls the beguiling mask off corporate social responsibility. Taking
the vantage point of the world's poor, he shows CSR to be a cruel hoax

Adler,

rationality. Rather than see CSR as providing the means to transform corporations
by advocating a stakeholder view of the

an ideological movement designed to consolidate the power of transnational

Subhabrata Bobby Banerjee questions the win-win assumptions of CSR and identifies the limits of the good that corporations can do, illustrating that the ability of firms to enhance social welfare is constrained by their current form and purpose; that of a shareholder value maximizing entity." "The book shows how supranational institutions such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organization are complicit in an 'economic capture' of social issues through a combination of material, institutional and discursive power that results in undermining economic democracy. Taking a political economy perspective, the author analyses recent conflicts between transnational corporations and local communities in developing countries and exposes the limits of stakeholder theory in addressing the needs of marginalized communities. He concludes by discussing alternatives to the current system that could result in meaningful social outcomes, and provides a critical research agenda for CSR." "Linking theory to practice, this critical look at corporate social responsibility will provide much material to fuel the debate amongst academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of management, international business and marketing ."--BOOK JACKET.
