Abstract
Purpose – Aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach – This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings – Multi-national corporations have often been stereotyped in the popular media and entertainment industries because of their perceived indifference to, and abuse of, basic human rights and corruption. However, as Karin Buhmann points out in her article, “Corporate social responsibility: what role for law? Some aspects of law and CSR”, the reality is much different. Buhmann examines the motivations and driving forces behind corporate social responsibility (CSR), articulating in the process how corporations are held to internal and external standards of practice where the law does not necessarily regulate their behavior. Practical implications – Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations. Originality/value – The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
