Unknown Values and Stakeholders

Abstract

This is the second edition of the book Values and Stakeholders in an Era of Social Responsibility: Cut-Throat Competition? (D’Anselmi, 2011). It is enriched with new content and through the collaboration of three authors who share their experience and ideas on the issue of social responsibility beyond the private sector. The book investigates who are the unknown stakeholders in the discussion around social responsibilities of for-profit and non-profit organizations. It also brings about the importance of the value of competition, a value much shadowed in the mainstream corporate social responsibility literature.
