The world's people and their leaders face a complex and multi-faceted set of 'eco-social questions'. As the productivity of humanity increases, the negative external environmental effects of production and consumption patterns become increasingly problematic and threaten the human welfare. As the regulating power of national and international governments is limited, this challenge has generated a strong interest in corporate social responsibility of companies. Firms find it increasingly important to meet the expectations of stakeholders with respect to the company's contribution to profit, planet and people. The primary aim of this book is to introduce the reader to the impacts and drivers of corporate social responsibility (CSR), with a special focus on small and medium sized enterprises. Research into the social and environmental impacts of CSR is rare. This is a serious gap, because if CSR were to fail to have favourable social and environmental impacts on society, the whole concept may become redundant. If societal impacts of CSR are substantial, it is important to know the drivers of CSR. This book considers (1) factors internal to the company, (2) the competitive environment of the company, (3) institutions external to the company, and (4) how the impacts of institutions are mediated or moderated by company internal factors. This book will fill this gap by estimating various types of models that integrate external and internal factors driving CSR and its impacts on environment, innovation and reputation, making it a valuable resource for researchers, academics, and students in the fields of business management and corporate social responsibility"--
