Dear SIM,

Greenleaf Publishing is pleased to announce that a new issue of the Journal of Corporate Citizenship is now available.

In Issue 53 of the Journal of Corporate Citizenship, Steve Waddell introduces work on large systems change that members of the GOLDEN for Sustainability group are conducting. The emphasis is on rethinking systems change so that we have the 'change we want' rather than a clash of obvious cultures. JCC has just issued a call for papers on this area of thinking for an upcoming issue - please visit the JCC website for further details: http://bit.ly/1muVSSv.

Oliver Williams, on the board of the Global Compact, has hope for the future as he considers whether there's enough time for business to make enough difference to the mounting problems of the global community. Ulrike Hoessle takes the research further, looking at links between compliance and the Global Compact in the USA, Mozambique, the United Arab Emirates and Germany. This leads on to Theresa Bauer's paper integrating Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and lobbying research to develop an encompassing understanding of responsible lobbying. Finally, Lars Moratis links three CSR initiatives to management education, in particular to the Principles for Responsible Management Education (a UN Global Compact-sponsored initiative). He asks whether one can credibly teach management education in an institution with no solid commitment to CSR. 

In the Editorial, Malcolm McIntosh says: "Similarly one can ask 'can one preach CSR in a business that itself is not practising a new paradigm?' Where are you sitting now? ... Along with the upcoming call for papers on large systems change, JCC currently has a call for papers out for a transdisciplinary conference being held in Pretoria, South Africa in November 2014 in an attempt to blow some of the clichés out of the responsible leadership literature.  Take a look and join in, please."
