Abstract

This chapter introduces a Nordic perspective to the evolution of CSR thinking, which differs especially from the Northern American context and tradition. The characteristics of Nordic management are reflected on, along with some early Nordic examples and conceptualizations of stakeholder thinking and community engagement. Finally, the impact of Nordic institutional and cultural traditions on business culture is discussed.
