Reviews

"[H]olistic approach to the issue of the role organizations play in society... Several books, even ones previously reviewed here, attempt to discuss these three topics individually. Corporate Governance, Ethics and CSR intertwines all three and, as the book's back cover seamlessly concludes, "demonstrates the realities of balancing social ly responsible business with modern business practice in a diverse range of organizations, using case studies from both the private and public sector.""--Nikki Lazenby "Internal Auditing "
