Reviews for Corporate Responsibility
Well-written and clear in exposition, logically organized, and humane and balanced in its approach to exploring CSR
Edward Murphy Very informative and yet very easy to read and understand
Joseph Youchison ABC of Corporate Responsibility
Benedict Uzochukwu Professor Argenti's book fills a void in the current business education curriculum. To be sure, he provides a well-researched and thoughtful discussion of the many manifestations of corporate responsibility in today's leading businesses. More importantly, however, he guides the reader through the process of knitting these various opportunities together into a coherent business strategy and, critically, communicating strategy and performance with stakeholders in an authentic manner.
Michael Dupee Over the last years, I have seen the concepts and lessons explained in this book become increasingly essential for business success. In my view, for organizations to be optimally prepared for the future, executing on Argenti's main principle is essential: to incorporate CR into every aspect of the business strategy. Finally, we have a practical and comprehensive framework for business students on one of the most fundamental topics leaders need to focus on in today's and tomorrow's reality.
Dailah Nihot This is the cutting-edge textbook on a managerial approach to corporate responsibility. Students and executives will benefit a great deal by studying the cases and best practices that are here. It's a terrific book.
