Immer mehr mittelständische Unternehmen sind sich der Vorteile von Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) bewusst. Dieses Buch konzentriert sich auf den deutschen Mittelstand, der als Vorbild für andere Volkswirtschaften gilt. Der Fokus liegt insbesondere auf der Entwicklung des CSR-Engagements und den sich daraus ergebenden Trends, die bei der Implementierung von CSR hilfreich sein können.
Das große Interesse an diesem Thema führt zur Notwendigkeit eines strukturierten CSR-Ansatzes. Aus diesem Grund bietet dieses Buch einen umfassenden Überblick über wichtige theoretische Konzepte, eine Analyse der CSR-Entwicklung im deutschen Mittelstand und strategische Überlegungen für eine erfolgreiche CSR-Umsetzung.
Mit einem Vorwort von Olga Kuznetsova.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
