Der Beitrag zu Corporate Citizenship (CC) von Unternehmen identifiziert die Felder von Unternehmensethik und CC als Aktions- und Orientierungsformen: Felder, auf denen sich der gesellschaftliche Diskurs vollziehen kann und in denen neue Kooperationen entstehen können. Dabei gilt es, die Dimensionen unternehmerischer Verantwortung (Macht, Geld, Sinn) als Leitmedien des sozialen Lebens nicht zu isolieren, sondern in ihren Wechselwirkungen zu reflektieren. Die Ausführungen gliedern sich in die folgenden Aspekte: (1) das klassische Bild des Unternehmers zwischen Abenteurer und strategischem Genie, (2) die industrielle und bürokratische Rationalisierung, (3) die Aktivierung von Engagement und Interesse im Kontext technisch geprägter Apparate und sozialer Netze, (4) Cultural Citizenship (Mäzenatentum, Sponsoring), (5) CC zwischen Bürgergesellschaft und Zivilgesellschaft, (6) die Individualisierungsprozesse in der Arbeitsorganisation sowie (7) die Herausforderungen der modernen Unternehmensführung durch die sozialen Probleme und Potenziale ihrer inneren und äußeren Umwelten. Vernetzung und Lernen erzeugen auf diese Weise in sozial engagierten Unternehmen Sinn über die Marktrationalität hinaus. (ICG2)

Referring to an organizations responsibility for their impact on society, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is greatly relevant for the competitiveness, sustainability and innovation in the management and engineering arena of organizations, and the economy worldwide. Taking in account its these concerns, Corporate Social Responsibility in Management and Engineering covers the issues related to corporate social responsibility in management and engineering in a context where organizations are facing, day after day, high challenges for what concerns issues related to their social responsibility. The book looks to contribute to the exchange of experiences and perspectives about the state of the research related to CSR, as well as the future direction of this field of research. It looks to provide a support to academics and researchers, as well as those that operating in the management field need to deal with policies and strategies related to CSR.

Scholarly interest in the areas of sustainability, stakeholder relations and corporate social responsibility (CSR) has increased considerably in recent years. In this volume, we take a step back to consider the fundamental questions that underlie and tie research across these areas together. The chapters in this volume cover a wide range of theoretical perspectives grounded in strategy, economics and sociology, employ various methodological approaches, and offer new arguments on the connections that exist between firms decisions relating to sustainability, CSR, and the governance of their stakeholder relations. The chapters in this volume highlight that business decisions relating to sustainability and CSR are ultimately decisions about the governance of stakeholder relations, and suggest that future work in these areas should consider more closely both the firms and their stakeholders as strategic actors driving firm decisions.

This qualitative study's purpose was to evaluate how undergraduate business students' perspectives, skills, and behaviors evolved through corporate social responsibility (CSR) education taught with a focus on critical thinking and sustainable problem solving. Business schools are struggling to incorporate CSR into their curriculum despite interest from students and pressure from accreditation agencies. This article primarily contributes practical tools for business schools teaching students to apply critical thinking skills and concepts gained through their business education to develop solutions to economic, social, and environmental problems. Instructors taught the following topics: definitions of CSR, the triple bottom line, stakeholder theory, exposure to social problems, businesses' roles in exacerbating or mitigating social problems, specific sustainable solutions companies and nonprofit organizations have implemented, and analysis of public companies' sustainability reports. Topics were taught using critical thinking tools, such as a decision-making model, a funneling exercise, a root problems activity, and reflection and metareflection. The instruction followed a specific teaching model to promote critical thinking skills development, which can be implemented by other faculty. We found CSR concepts motivated students by giving them the tools and confidence in their abilities to solve meaningful problems and learning outcomes for both CSR and critical thinking were achieved.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become an increasingly heated topic since the 1980s. But there are severe limitations with the concept of CSR and the effectiveness of CSR practices. Addressing such limitations, this volume proposes that the concept of Corporate Social Irresponsibility (CSI) offers a better theoretical platform to avoid the vagueness, ambiguity, arbitrariness and mysticism of CSR. It challenges conventional modes of thinking, unveils the CSR mask of business practices and redirects public attention to the core issues of CSR. This collective work sets up an initial theoretical framework for the subject of CSI and examines the fundamental reasons for irresponsibility in and beyond a corporate context. Rooted in theory and practice it seeks to understand how boundaries of CSR and CSI have been constructed in society, and explores some systemic and structural issues of CSI in practice
