*********************************
Business in a globalised world is no longer only about profit. 
Companies that operate globally are increasingly being called to 
account over their social responsibilities to the workforce, local 
communities and the environment. Companies that take these 
responsibilities seriously are faced with a plethora of problems and 
dilemmas. For example, how can companies navigate the sea of tension 
between observing international rules of conduct and responding to 
specific local cultural circumstances? How can they ensure social 
responsibility in the product chain(s) in which they operate? And how 
can they best contribute to the local economy of developing countries?

This book helps companies with good intentions but little experience to 
find answers to these questions and many others. The book offers 
concrete guidelines, step-by-step plans and practical examples based on 
the experiences of 20 diverse, large, medium and small companies that 
participated in the three-year Dutch programme 'Corporate Social 
Responsibility in an International Context' organised by CSR 
Netherlands. ‘Corporate Social Responsibility and Globalisation’ 
constitutes a guidebook and action plan to enable companies of all 
sizes to manage risk and seek out opportunities for engagement in their 
overseas operations.
