By balancing external social and environmental costs against its corresponding benefits, the book demonstrates that MNEs can have a positive net-impact on local development if they build up social capital by embedding themselves in local economies and engaging responsibly with local stakeholders. By doing so MNEs contribute to inclusive growth, a central pillar of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. In this context, the book challenges popular narratives in civil society and academia that frame foreign direct investment (FDI) merely as a threat to human rights and sustainable development. Moreover, it offers practical guidance for globally operating businesses seeking to establish progressive Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategies of their own.SpringerBriefs in Economics,2191-5504International economic relationsSocial responsibility of businessEconomicsSociological aspectsGlobalizationMarketsSustainable developmentInternational lawTradeInternational Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W33000Corporate Social Responsibilityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/526010Organizational Studies, Economic Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22020Emerging Markets/Globalizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/525010Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000International Economic Law, Trade Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19050International economic relations.Social responsibility of business.EconomicsSociological aspects.Globalization.Markets.Sustainable development.International law.Trade.International Economics.Corporate Social Responsibility.Organizational Studies, Economic Sociology.Emerging Markets/Globalization.Sustainable Development.International Economic Law, Trade Law.658.049658.049Aerni Philippauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut963250BOOK9910303454003321Global Business in Local Culture2532974UNINA
