Overview
The Enlightened Shareholder Value principle and Corporate Social Responsibility are areas of increasing academic and research interest. However, discussions on the ESV principle in relation to CSR are very limited. This book provides a critical analysis of the impact of the concept of ESV on CSR and explores the scope for reform, analysing existing empirical research, presenting the findings of an empirical study conducted to determine whether the concept of ESV is capable of promoting or assisting CSR. It examines whether implementing an ESV approach has had any impact on the CSR practices of multinational corporations that originate in the UK and operate in developing nations, assessing whether the ESV principle links to CSR both its domestic and international impact need to be considered. This analysis was undertaken through the lens of a case study on the corporate social responsibility practices of multinational corporations of UK origin that operate in developing nations through the lens of the ready-made garments industry in Bangladesh, and the Rana Plaza factory disaster to fully consider the implications of this link in both in a domestic and international context. The book addresses the need for reform in the area and provides possible suggestions for reform. This interdisciplinary book will be of great interest to students and scholars of corporate law, corporate governance and business studies in general as well as policymakers, NGOs and government departments in many countries around the world working in the fields of CSR, sustainability and global supply chains.
