Idowu, René Schmidpeter1st ed. 2016.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2016.1 online resource (305 p.)CSR, Sustainability, Ethics & Governance,2196-7075Description based upon print version of record.3-319-26667-5 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.Introduction -- Part I: Southern Africa -- Part II: Eastern Africa -- Part III: Western Africa. .This book provides a comprehensive overview of corporate social responsibility and its development in Africa. It provides in-depth studies on 11 sub-Saharan countries, demonstrating that corporate social responsibility is forming and going through different stages of metamorphosis in the continent. Though corporate and individual attitudes towards sustainability in Africa still leave a lot to be desired, this book showcases how things are rapidly changing for the better in this regard. It demonstrates and provides evidence for the fact that corporate social responsibility contributes significantly to the way sub-Saharan African economies are being transformed, with service sectors expanding, commercial activities diversifying and industrial bases growing through the initiatives of small, medium and large organizations and innovators supported by widespread higher-education program rollouts. The book highlights how progressive and wide-ranging CSR approaches have emerged, and how much they differ from the obsolete approaches of the past, which promulgated negative stereotypes, marginalized communities and positioned them as victims or beneficiaries of development.CSR, Sustainability, Ethics & Governance,2196-7075Business ethicsSustainable developmentEthicsGlobalizationMarketsDevelopment economicsAccountingBookkeeping Business Ethicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/526000Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Ethicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000Emerging Markets/Globalizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/525010Development Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000Accounting/Auditinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/511000Business ethics.Sustainable development.Ethics.Globalization.Markets.Development economics.Accounting.Bookkeeping .Business Ethics.Sustainable Development.Ethics.Emerging Markets/Globalization.Development Economics.Accounting/Auditing.658.408Vertigans Stephenedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtIdowu Samuel Oedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSchmidpeter Renéedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254933203321Corporate Social Responsibility in Sub-Saharan Africa2288963UNINA
