Abstract

This chapter introduces and discusses the concepts of CSR and EO as these have evolved in the context of the national cultures of India and Sweden respectively. It deliberates on different approaches to understanding CSR and EO as important values within organizations. The chapter highlights how legislative regulation can multiply the impact of these organizational values. It also discusses the important contribution of organizational and national cultures in the practice and expression of such values. The chapter argues that values like CSR and EO can help organizations in both India and Sweden to develop attractive and sustainable workplaces, despite the different laws and labour market environments in the two countries.
