About the Author
Review ‘A timely and interdisciplinary analysis of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) international landscape, with significant attention directed towards global value chains and emerging economies. It serves as a pivotal reference for international research on sustainable global business, offering practical insights for corporations, policymakers, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), encompassing a comprehensive perspective on diverse economies.’ — Gaia Melloni, University of Lausanne, Switzerland‘Achieving sustainability requires a blending of public and private governance, and this volume is at the cutting edge of our understanding of what this means for businesses and society at large. It presents a great collection of papers that examine the efforts by MNEs to do good, the variety of ways in which they succeed and fail, and the reasons why well-intentioned initiatives do not always yield a sustainable outcome.’ — Sarianna Lundan, University of Bremen, Germany About the Author Edited by Anthony Goerzen, PhD, Sobey Professor of International Business, Smith School of Business, Queens University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, Fellow of the Academy of International Business (AIB), and Chair of AIB-Canada
