More and more managerial challenges require leaders to be accountable-to take initiative without having full authority for the process or the outcomes. Accountability goes beyond responsibility. Whereas responsibility is generally delegated by the boss, the organization, or by virtue of position, accountability is having an intrinsic sense of ownership of the task and the willingness to face the consequences that come with success or failure.

"Engaging with Stakeholders: A Relational Perspective on Responsible Business contends that meaningful and constructive stakeholder engagement efforts should be rooted in a deep relational process of shared understanding, expectations, and viewpoints, through honest, continued dialogue between stakeholders and company management. This anthology follows and reaffirms this view, which also establishes the increasing need to explore the subtleties of how companies can respectfully engage their stakeholders in ways that reflect the corporate strategy and contribute to the ongoing development of business activities and creation of value, for themselves and stakeholders, from social, environmental, and economic perspectives. Stakeholder engagement practices, however, remain highly complex and difficult to manage; their ability to generate value in an inclusive way requires critical consideration. Sound stakeholder engagement efforts also constitute a keystone for responsible business activities. Drawing on a wide range of literature and studies, this book addresses key dimensions of stakeholder engagement, through a responsible business lens, and thereby contributes to identifying the opportunities, challenges, and key organizational implications associated with their unfolding.

Le débat est animé concernant les entreprises multinationales qui bafouent les droits de l'homme lors de leurs activités à l'étranger et la question de l'accès de leurs victimes aux tribunaux est récurrente. Bien qu'elles soient centrales lorsqu'un procès est envisagé, les règles de procédure, techniques par nature, sont souvent reléguées au second plan. Il en va ainsi du forum non conveniens, une doctrine selon laquelle un juge canadien compétent peut renvoyer un litige devant le tribunal du pays hôte. Or, cette doctrine est problématique relativement à la responsabilité des entreprises multinationales : si la justice ne peut être rendue, la responsabilité sociétale des entreprises n'est-elle pas qu'un miroir aux alouettes au Canada ? Cet ouvrage présente la doctrine du forum non conveniens de manière historique, synthétique et critique et revient sur l'actualité entourant le phénomène de judiciarisation de la responsabilité sociale des grandes entreprises, tant au Canada qu'aux États-Unis et en Europe. En exposant les plus récentes décisions judiciaires canadiennes dans ce domaine, cet ouvrage démontre que les juges ont tendance à accueillir plus favorablement les victimes étrangères dès lors que la responsabilité extracontractuelle d'une entreprise multinationale pour des violations des droits de l'homme est invoquée.
