This book illustrates how CSR can be used as a tool to improve corporate governance in organizations and improve the relationship between business and society. Connecting corporate social responsibility (CSR) with corporate governance (CG) is a 21st century challenge, and the book argues that CSR and CG should be addressed together in synergy in the management literature. Linking these two crucial business functions, it describes the preconditions for successful integration and the tools for practical implementation. Volume 1 covers corporate governance from the perspective of CSR, where responsible and sustainable business is a common goal and the tasks are to create core values, business policy and organizational strategies.

This book presents an account of legal, economic and managerial perspectives on governance in situations of financial distress and insolvency. It uses detailed real-life case studies of executive decision making to explore and illustrate the discussion. The book deals with the emergence of corporate governance as a framework of checks and balances on executive decision-making, before moving to the core issues of governance during financial distress and insolvency and alternative informal and formal rescue. Identifying and reviewing turnaround strategies and formal rescue processes available to management, the book also examines the increasing importance of creditors and their impact on business decision-making. The book provides a detailed interpretation of governance in five mega insolvencies in retail and construction following the financial crisis in 2008.

“This book offers a penetrating analysis of the sharp realties of the state of corporate governance… the concept of transparency only confi rms the status quo. The meaning of transparency is overwhelmed by the prerogatives of the current norms and practices, and the deep-seated values of shareholder primacy underlying contemporary business. The authors demand a more authentic and truthful approach to determining the purpose of the corporation and the resulting estimations of its performance.” — Professor Thomas Clarke University of Technology Sydney Transparency is generally seen as a corporate priority and a central attribute for promoting business growth and social morality. However, from a philosophical perspective, society has experienced a gradual paradigm shift which intensified after the Second World War with the advent of the information era. Therefore, as transparency serves both as a fundamental part of an inescapable, hegemonic capitalist system, and as a moral imperative, this book examines and challenges the concept of transparency as to its true governance value in building a sustainable twenty-first century. Rather than clinging to the fantasy of complete transparency as the only form of accountability, corporate governance is strengthened in this way by practicing true social responsibility, which emerges not from outward-looking compliance but from a deeper place in the corporate psyche through inward-looking contemplation and the development of moral maturity. This book will be of use to scholars working on corporate governance, business ethics, CSR, and the philosophy of business. Finn Janning, PhD, is a writer and philosopher.
