Corporate Social Entrepreneurship (eBook, ePUB)

Integrity Within

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Business ethics teaching appears to have had little impact, particularly in the light of continued malpractice and misdemeanour in the form of financial scandals, environmental disasters and adverse consequences for communities. This timely book directly addresses a central question: is it that the existence of an ethical or an unethical climate influences behaviour, or, does the presence or absence of a moral character and personal values have the greatest influence on behaviour at work? Hemingway proposes four modes of individual moral commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability: the Active Corporate Social Entrepreneur, the Concealed Corporate Social Entrepreneur, the Conformist and the Disassociated. Hemingway posits that the Conformists represent the majority of people in organisations, adhering to the prevailing ethical climate, whatever that might be. However, it is the discovery of the corporate social entrepreneur which offers students and scholars a critical, alternative and optimistic perspective for the future of ethical business.

Autorenporträt

Dr Christine A. Hemingway is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Organisational Behaviour at Goldsmiths, University of London. Her work is geared towards the creation of social, environmental and economic value. She is one of the founding scholars of the micro foundations of corporate social responsibility (micro-CSR). This is a sociological and psychological perspective that investigates responsible/irresponsible organisational contexts, and the development of formal and informal leaders, or activists, known as 'corporate social entrepreneurs'. Her pioneering work has inspired a practitioner movement and is widely cited in major scholarly journals. Prior to her academic career, Christine has 12 years' blue-chip management experience, spanning a number of industries, including significant budget responsibility for some globally recognised consumer brands. This paved the way for her appointment as a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor), prior to embarking on a part-time doctoral programme of study at the Nottingham University Business School, whilst lecturing full-time at the University of Hull.
