This practical and engaging book provides a coherent approach to global business responsibility and ethics based on the latest research, theory, and practice. The authors incorporate numerous interesting and current real world examples to support the argument that corporations need to - and can - identify and implement processes that foster ethical conduct, ensure basic human rights, protect the natural environment, and enhance social justice wherever businesses operate around the globe. "Global Business Citizenship" combines elements of political theory, stakeholder relationships, business ethics, corporate social performance, accountability and measurement, and organizational change. Its practical approach encompasses "best practices" in stakeholder management, experiments in applying corporate values to local conditions, and social environmental auditing and reporting. Focusing on the strategic alignment and change management process for implementing business citizenship principles and practices, it is an essential supplement for any course concerned with ethics and social responsibility in today's global business climate.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensfuhrung, Management, Organisation, Note: 1.3, Universitat Kassel, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Thema der Global Corporate Citizenship. Im Zentrum der Uberlegungen steht die Frage, wie Unternehmen durch die freiwillige Ubernahme einer burgerschaftlichen Verantwortung erfolgreich wirtschaften, den sich wandelnden Anforderungen von Politik und Gesellschaft gerecht werden und dem kapitalistischen Wirtschaftsmodell in Zeiten einer energischen Globalisierungsdynamik die gewunschte Nachhaltigkeit und somit Existenzberechtigung verleihen konnen. Der weltumspannende Handel ist naturlich kein neuzeitliches Phanomen. Allerdings beinhalten der rasante Anstieg landerubergreifender Guter-, Geld-, Informations- und Menschenstrome (Seitz, 2002, S. 1) sowie die hohe Geschwindigkeit, mit welcher sich vormals wirtschaftlich unbedeutende Staaten an das Wirtschaftssystem ankoppeln, ein enormes Konfliktpotenzial. Einem steigenden Lebensstandard auf der einen Seite stehen nicht selten soziale Ausbeutung und okologisches Missmanagement gegenuber, welche in der Regel von Unternehmen getrieben und der Politik geduldet werden. Die sich weltweit offnenden Markte erhohen daruber hinaus zusehens den Konkurrenzdruck und unterspulen die etablierten Sozialsysteme. Im Gegensatz dazu wird seitens der Politik und der Gesellschaft aber auch gleichzeitig eine neue Balance zwischen okonomischen, okologischen und sozialen Grundwerten gefordert. Die Unternehmen sollen in diesem Zuge aktiv an der Losung der drangenden Probleme beteiligt werden. Diese Widerspruche aufzulosen ist auch Teil der Global Corporate Citizenship-Diskussion. Die negativen Auswuchse des ungelenkten Kapitalismus sollen im Zaum gehalten und die Chancen einer globalisierten Wirtschaft so umfassend wie moglich genutzt werden. Die Ausarbeitung beschaftigt sich daher mit den Moglichkeiten, wie national und international o

A number of disparate but interconnected forces such as deregulation and globalization, rapid advances in communications technology and the rise in the power of the consumer and civil society have now combined to bring corporate responsibility to prominence in many corporate boardrooms. In this information age, the ramifications of not addressing best practice in environment, workplace, marketplace and community could range from bad press coverage to complete market exclusion. These are perilous times for the social construct of modern capitalism.In today's society successful companies will increasingly be those that recognize that they have responsibilities to a range of stakeholders that go beyond compliance with the law. If in the past the focus was on enhancing shareholder value, now it is on engaging stakeholders for long-term value creation. This does not mean that shareholders are not important, or that profitability is not vital to business success, but that in order to survive and be profitable a company must engage with a range of stakeholders whose views may vary greatly. If in the past corporate social responsibility was simply seen as profitability plus compliance plus philanthropy, now responsible corporate citizenship means companies being more aware of and understanding the societies in which they operate. This means senior executives and managers being able to deal with a wide range of issues including greater accountability, human rights abuses, sustainability strategies, corporate governance codes, workplace ethics, stakeholder consultation and management.The aim and scope of Perspectives on Corporate Citizenship is to help capture and distil these and other emerging trends in terms of content, context and processes, in one concise volume. With contributions from the *crème de la crème* of leading thinkers from around the world, Perspectives on Corporate Citizenship is essential reading for students, scholars and all serious thinkers on one of the most critical issues of our time.

Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,1, Reutlingen University (ESB Business School), language: English, abstract: In recent years, the term Corporate Citizenship became more famous and was used as common vocabulary. However, there is quite a huge discussion and confusion about the term and no general definition exists. Thus, this paper concentrates on the term ‘Corporate Citizenship’ and discusses the emergence of the terminology. It introduces different perspectives on how to define Corporate Citizenship, mainly the limited view, the equal view and the extended view of Corporate Citizenship. It also discusses and demonstrates some downsides and weaknesses of these perspectives. Additionally, the paper introduces the concept of Global Business Citizenship as contrast to the approaches previously explained. To get a practical approach as well, the paper takes a closer look on how corporations can implement Corporate Citizenship by introducing several instruments. In order to top the understanding of Corporate Citizenship off, the paper finally focuses on the Top 100 Corporate Citizens judged by the CR Magazine. It looks at the different categories and data elements of the Corporate Citizenship Lists Methodology in order to broaden the knowledge about the different parts of Corporate Citizenship and to get a better understanding of what can be expected nowadays from firms.
