Abstract:

The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) agenda and practice has been a part of the global, academic and corporate debate for many decades. Policymakers are increasingly viewing the private sector as an important role player in contributing towards meeting the socio-economic developmental challenges. The research study has assessed the role of CSR in South Africa's mining industry with a focus on the basic education system; by unpacking the objectives and the key challenges of the provincial department of basic education in the North West and Limpopo provinces.

Abstract:

As social problems, such as environmental pollution persist, the need to implement corporate social responsibility (CSR) to enhance societal well-being becomes important. However, little is known about how corporate leaders implement CSR. The purpose of this qualitative transcendental phenomenological study was to identify and report the lived experiences of corporate managers relevant to CSR implementation. This study was guided by ecological systems theory, the Porter hypothesis, the Maslow hierarchy of needs theory, and the Harrod-Domar growth model, which justify the importance of societal

Abstract:

Every actor of the society has its own expectations about the companies. Shareholders are interested in the maximization of the profitability, managers are interested in sustainability, and partners are interested in fulfilment of the business ethics. And the company with well-structured CSR policy should be able to meet expectations of all stakeholders. This can cost large part of the company's resources. It can potentially impact on company’s profitability whether positively or negatively. Using the quantitative research method we tried to explore the impact of CSR policy on the short-term p

At the time of its debate and passage in 2010-2011, Alabama's immigration law evoked support and opposition from across the state and nation.

In political philosophy, power and responsibility are known to be two sides of the same coin.

The political dimension of CSR and its intrinsic relationship with Corporate Political Power (CPP) has been under-researched.

This thesis draws on the concept of product stewardship and its focus on incorporating all of the actors in a product’s lifecycle into steps to take responsibility for waste management. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) recognizes the producer’s distinct potential to consider and drive change in waste management. Producers often serve like mediators between the design and use phases of a product’s lifecycle. Through EPR policies, the producer takes on the costs of ensuring safe end-of-life waste disposal. In this way, EPR can be expected to help relieve the public of some of the costs of

“Agenda 2030” and UN’s 17 sustainable development goals have increased the interest of sustainability in society. Pressure from different stakeholders implicates that organizations must act responsible in these questions. A conception that has grown in the area of sustainability, and something that many organizations work with today is Corporate Social Responsibility, also referred to as CSR.

Abstract:

This thesis examines a crisis of governance in the Republic of South Africa (RSA), a crisis which threatens Constitutionally guaranteed intergenerational rights to water, meaning these rights are unlikely to be upheld. RSA's post-1994 Constitution incorporated a number of historically unparalleled human rights, based on fundamental principles of human dignity and equality. This includes the right to water resources for current and future generations - making RSA one of a few countries to enshrine intergenerational rights in law. Under law, Government acts as fiduciary trustee with duties to pr

Abstract:

Os recentes problemas que os países enfrentam relacionados aos escândalos de corrupção no Brasil e no mundo tem fomentado a ampliação da discussão sobre o tema. Organizações como OCDE e ONU desenvolveram mecanismos para medição e controle dessa prática, baseados na transparência e no controle. Tendo em vista o fato de a governança estar relacionada também a controle e a transparência, há então uma sobreposição teórica entre corrupção e governança. Existem ainda diversos estudos que vinculam os impactos socioeconômicos nas regiões atrelados à prática de corrupção. Neste sentido, este trabalho s

With the present rapid growth in business and commercial activities, economic crime has found a fertile ground. Economic crime is a 'growth industry'. Unless we
