*********************************
CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP is enmeshed in the debate about Africa’s future.
Africa is the continent where the social needs are greatest and where
the benefits of globalisation have been least felt. What makes
corporate citizenship in Africa not only fascinating, but also of
critical importance, is that the continent embodies many of the most
vexing dilemmas that business faces in attempts to be responsible,
ethical and sustainable.
This unique collection for the first time brings together in one
publication the critical debates, perspectives, experiences and success
stories in the emerging field of corporate citizenship in Africa.
The book addresses a number of key questions: What research has been
conducted on corporate citizenship in Africa over the past ten years?
How are the concepts and challenges of corporate citizenship in Africa
different, compared to other regions of the world? Which industry
sectors are leading in the implementation of corporate citizenship in
Africa? What are some of the dilemmas facing companies that are
striving to be good corporate citizens in Africa? What are some of the
best-practice case studies of companies’ corporate citizenship
programmes in Africa? What can Africa learn from the rest of the world
about corporate citizenship, and what can it teach others?
The book acts as a bridge in many ways: between academic theory and
business practice; between notions of corporate citizenship originating
in developed countries and emerging concepts incubated in a
developing-country context; between the experiences of multinationals
and the perspectives of small and medium-sized enterprises; between
different countries and regions within Africa and around the globe.
This publication marks a change in the tide — a groundswell towards a
more vigorous debate and robust research agenda on corporate
citizenship in Africa. It will be essential reading for all those
involved in the rapidly growing corporate responsibility movement.
