Excerpt
The struggle between balancing legal rights, ethics and social responsibility is a challenge for employers, particularly in the complex, post-ENRON business environment. Increasingly organizations see corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a competitive advantage in considering not just financial measures of success, but also ethical and socially responsible measures of success. This special issue is dedicated to understanding how organizations successfully develop strategies to do what is legally acceptable, but also go beyond the legal minimums to consider the ethical and societal implications of their actions. Topics may span from the micro level, including employee relations and HR practices to the macro level, including corporate strategy and interorganizational alliances and relationships. We welcome manuscripts that explore, but are not limited to, such topics as:-
