Books

Andy Crane, Dirk Matten, Jeremy Moon
Corporations and Citizenship, Cambridge/New York (Cambridge University Press) 2008
http://www.cambridge.org/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=9780521612838
As the assumption that corporations have economic, legal, and even social roles but, beyond these, no political role or significance becomes increasingly untenable, we turn to the concept of citizenship in order to make sense of the political dimensions of corporations. Citizenship offers a way of thinking about roles and responsibilities among members of polities and between these members and their governing institutions. It therefore offers a way to evaluate certain aspects of the political roles and significance of corporations, both in terms of their strategies towards governments and communities, as well as in their consequences for policies and political aspirations of people and societies. We provide a rich and multi-faceted picture that explores three relations of citizenship – corporations as citizens, corporations as governors of citizenship, and corporations as arenas of citizenship for stakeholders – as well as three contemporary reconfigurations of citizenship – namely cultural (identity-based), ecological, and cosmopolitan citizenship.
'A new starting point for an important debate about the role of capitalism and its sister institutions: government and the rest of civil society.[...] A perfect volume [...].'
(R. Edward Freeman, University of Virginia)
'A comprehensive and sophisticated analysis of the implications of understanding the corporation as a citizen. It should stimulate fresh thinking about the political, social and environmental responsiblities of the firm and the role it can and should play in contemporary society.'
(David Vogel, University of California at Berkeley)

Corporate Social Responsibility: Readings and Cases in Global Context, London (Routledge) 2008
http://www.routledgebusiness.com/books/Corporate-Social-Responsibility-isbn9780415424295
This is the most recent textbook specifically addressing CSR as such (as opposed to other textbooks focusing on ‘Business&Society’, ‘Business Ethics’, ‘Corporate Citizenship’ etc.). It is clearly structured in 12 chapters outlining and addressing the core issues, topics and contestations in CSR. It can be easily used for an undergraduate or MBA course on CSR. After an extensive introductory chapter, each subsequent chapter starts with a comprehensive introduction into the topic followed by two key readings from the CSR literature. It is backed up by helpful didactic features, such as learning objectives, control questions and research exercises for students. The text is complemented by three extensive case studies. The authors offer to provide potential instructors with a complete set of PowerPoint slides for use in class (dmatten@schulich.yorku.ca).

The ‘A to Z’ is a comprehensive dictionary of all key terms, concepts, organisations and tools in CSR. Mainly written for practitioners in business, government and NGOs it is a great resource for teaching, case study work and research exercises both at undergraduate and MBA level. Authors include the cream of SIM scholars, such as Archie Carroll, Ed Freeman, Stuart Hart or Donna Wood but also feature leading practitioners and activists, such as John Elkington, Klaus Leisinger, Hunter Lovins, Steve Lydenberg, Mary Robinson or Steven Young. It is structured into 10 core terms, 60 key terms, 130 definitions, 80 key codes & guidelines, 40 key organizations, 120 website addresses and 110 referred terms.
“The book delivers admirably… This is certainly a handy reference book to have on the shelf behind your desk, whether you’re working in the corporate sector or in teaching and research” (Ethical Performance Magazine).

This book is the completely updated and revised 2^nd edition of this successful text and boasts some new features.

Other new features include the ‘Ethics on Screen’ vignettes which introduce and review 11 new movies pertaining to business ethics issues in the respective chapters of the text. The book is backed up by an updated and extended companion website for students and instructors (http://www.oup.com/uk/orc/bin/9780199284993/) as well as a blog which gives students an opportunity to interact with both authors and engage with contemporary business ethics issues (http://craneandmatten.blogspot.com/).
