Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development Social Capital and Corporate Development in Developing Economies

Many different companies can significantly contribute to the integrated goals and targets of the United Nations’ sustainable development goals such as poverty reduction by 2030. Poverty is not only about people living on less than $1. 25 per day but more fundamentally it is their lack of capabilities and access to participate in productive economic activities. If companies can contribute in order to provide access and the necessary skills then individuals will have the capabilities to achieve their aspirations including earning a higher income. Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development supports Sen’s assertions that poverty can be alleviated if the capability of individuals is improved. Beyond that this book shows that sustainable development goals can be achieved when the company’s CSR programs and social capital development in improving people’s capabilities are combined with necessary finance access and market access for the poor. The theoretical model developed from the journey of Astra International one of the largest public-listed companies in Indonesia is replicable for other companies aspiring to be sustainable in developing countries. The model shows a virtuous cycle between the corporate aim CSR programs social capital and corporate sustainability. This volume is of great value to academics practitioners and policy makers interested in the themes of CSR social capital and sustainable development of developing countries. It also appeals to professionals in industry associations development agencies and international organizations as well as NGOs that are concerned with the achievement of sustainable development goals by 2030. | Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development Social Capital and Corporate Development in Developing Economies

Wisdom Learning Perspectives on Wising-Up Business and Management Education

Wisdom Learning Perspectives on Wising-Up Business and Management Education

In traditional business circles wisdom is viewed with a certain scepticism which is in part due to its historical associations with wisdom traditions and spiritual cultures. However in business today wisdom is emerging not only as a viable but also a necessary organizational and management practice. In particular practical wisdom is being updated and retranslated for today’s issues and concerns in organizations. In recent years leadership and organizational studies have initiated important changes in the way in which business-as-usual is conducted. In response to the increasingly complex and uncertain conditions of our international business environment a growing community of ‘scholar-practitioners’ are pushing the boundaries of traditional organizational and leadership thinking and acting making inroads into processes and applications of practical wisdom and ways of wise leading and managing. Given the unprecedented levels of challenges dynamics and uncertainties that today’s organizations are exposed to there is a need for a more integrative and sustainable approach to managing. Following the need for a reconsideration and revival of the meaning of wisdom the editors explore vitalizing possibilities for the learning of wise practices in organizing and leading. This expansive range of domains where wisdom is currently being explored suggests a promising number of perspectives and possibilities for future inquiries and explorations into the nexus of wisdom and organization leadership/management education and learning that benefits from cross-disciplinary synergies. This book will be of interest to those seeking to understand the growing significance of wisdom in relation to learning and teaching especially in business and management education. | Wisdom Learning Perspectives on Wising-Up Business and Management Education
