Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility: Sustainable Value Creation, Fourth Edition, redefines corporate social responsibility (CSR) as central to the value-creating purpose of the firm. Based on a theory of empowered stakeholders, this bestselling text argues that the responsibility of a corporation is to create value, broadly defined. The primary challenge for managers today is to balance the competing interests of the firm’s stakeholders, understanding that what they expect today may not be what they will expect tomorrow. This tension is what mak4es CSR so complex operations. As such, CSR is not something that firms choose to do-all firm do it-it is just that some firms are better at CSR and how other firms can improve their CSR efforts.
