by Carina Jasmin Englert Jo Reichertz

Das Buch gibt einen Einblick in die Entwicklung eines Marktes in undum die deutsche Rechtsmedizin.

CSR 2.0: Transforming Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility (SpringerBriefs in Business)

by Wayne Visser

The book examines the evolution and current state of corporate social responsibility (CSR), using a five-stage maturity model: defensive, charitable, promotional, strategic and transformative CSR. The first four stages are dubbed CSR 1.0 and characterise most current CSR practice, while the fifth stage is named CSR 2.0 (also transformative or systemic CSR) and describes emergent and future CSR practices. Reasons are given why CSR 1.0 approaches have failed to have any significant impact on the most serious global social, environmental and ethical challenges. The emergent CSR 2.0 will then be explored in detail by elaborating on five principles underlying the new approach, including: creativity, scalability, responsiveness, glocality and circularity. A four-part DNA Model is also introduced, covering value creation, good governance, societal contribution and ecological integrity, which provides the basis for defining and measuring CSR 2.0. Finally, a 70-question CSR 2.0 self-assessment diagnostic tool developed by the author is presented, with sample data to show how the tool can be used for future research and practitioner application.

CSR-Bildung: Corporate Social Responsibility als Bildungsaufgabe in Schule, Universität und Weiterbildung

by Fabiene Theis Simone Klein

Eine kluge Einsicht gewinnt an Bedeutung und setzt sich durch: Die Übernahme gesellschaftlicher Verantwortung und die Gestaltung guter Arbeit durch die Unternehmen selbst sind ein wirtschaftlicher Erfolgsfaktor. Viele Unternehmen in Deutschland handeln danach – freiwillig, über den gesetzlichen Rahmen hinaus und in Fortsetzung einer guten Tradition: Denn das Bewusstsein, dass wirtschaftliche Leistungsfähigkeit auf der einen und soziale und ökologische Verantwortung auf der anderen Seite keine Gegensätze sind, sondern sich gegenseitig bedingen, hat uns stark gemacht. „Corporate Social Responsibility“ (CSR) ist daher alles andere als ein Schönwetterthema. Unternehmensverantwortung ist eine Strategie, die sich gerade auch in Krisenzeiten für die Betriebe auszahlt, ganze Volkswirtschaften stärkt und der Gesellschaft insgesamt zugute kommt. Die Idee der „Unternehmensverantwortung“ ist nicht neu. Ein kluger - gang mit dieser Idee muss dennoch immer wieder neu erlernt werden. Je früher das geschieht, desto besser. Urteilskraft und Kritikfähigkeit sind Voraussetzung für selbstbestimmtes Handeln. Die Grundlage dafür ist Bildung. Ihre Aufgabe präzisiert Immanuel Kant in seiner Schrift „Über Pädagogik“ folgendermaßen: „Die praktische oder moralische [Pädagogik oder Erziehungslehre] ist d- jenige, durch die der Mensch soll gebildet werden, damit er wie ein frei h- delndes Wesen leben könne. (. . . ) Sie ist Erziehung zur Persönlichkeit, Erziehung eines frei handelnden Wesens, das sich selbst erhalten, und in der Gesellschaft ein Glied ausmachen, für sich selbst aber einen innern Wert haben kann.

CSR und Investment Banking: Investment und Banking zwischen Krise und Positive Impact (Management-Reihe Corporate Social Responsibility)

by Karen Wendt

Die Finanzindustrie ist Spiegel der Gesellschaft und ihr Businessmodell befindet sich nicht erst seit der Finanzkrise am Scheideweg. Wenn die Negativspirale aus Klimawandel, rasantem Bevölkerungswachstum, ungehemmter Urbanisierung und zunehmend sozialen Spannungen abgewendet werden soll, sind ganzheitliche Management-Ansätze zwingend. Immer mehr Vorstände und Experten der deutschen Finanzindustrie zeigen - nachhaltiges Investment und nachhaltiges Bankgeschäft ist machbar. Vordenker aus Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft stellen die integrierte Betrachtung finanzieller, gesellschaftlicher und Umweltleistung in den Mittelpunkt der Geschäftsstrategie und zeigen, dass Integration von Nachhaltigkeit in die Wertschöpfungskette funktioniert. Das klassische Dreieck aus Profit, Risiko und Liquidität wird um eine vierte Komponente ergänzt, die gesellschaftliche Wirkkraft der Geldverwendung.

Cuban American Political Culture and Civic Organizing: Tocqueville in Miami

by Robert M. Ceresa

This book studies civic organizations in Miami’s Cuban community. Few places in the United States have been transformed by immigration the way Miami has been transformed by Cuban exiles. Cuban civic organizations help to explain why this is the case. Civic organizations are the heart of the story of the social and political power and influence of Miami’s Cuban community. This community is home to a broad tradition of active political participation and many civic organizations. The sheer number of organizations suggests they have something to do with the community’s considerable vibrancy and civic capacity. How do the organizations work? How have they managed to be so successful over so many years? What can be learned about successful civic organizing from their experience? How will changing United States-Cuba relations impact Cuban civic organizations, and, in turn, broader Miami? These are questions this book helps to answer.

Cuban Medical Internationalism: Origins, Evolution, and Goals (Studies of the Americas)

by J. Kirk H. Michael Erisman

While public health is important for revolutionary Cuba, providing medical services to the developing world is also a priority: 38,000 medical staff are engaged abroad; the largest medical school in the world (ELAM) has an enrollment of over 8,000 students from the Third World; and since 2004 over 1.3 million in Latin America and the Caribbean have had their eyesight restored. How has this small nation of 11.3 million people managed to save more lives in the developing world than all of the G-8 countries together? And what are its motives? This book, the result of four years of research in Cuba, provides an updated analysis of this extraordinary record.

Cuckoo Land: The Cuckooing Risk Environment (Drugs, Crime and Society)

by Jack Spicer

Drawing on rich qualitative data, this book presents a novel way of understanding the drug market-related harm of ‘cuckooing’, providing a theoretically informed account of this increasingly high-profile area.Applying the framework of the ‘risk environment’, the book examines why people become cuckooed, how it is responded to and how this exploitative practice is socially produced. In doing so, a diverse range of environments and features relevant to cuckooing are analysed, including the role of housing, political economy, drug policy, policing and social exclusion. By interrogating how these constrain and enable the actions of people who are affected, the book develops a critical analysis that recognises the complexity of cuckooing while eschewing superficial explanations of why it occurs. Resisting simplistic solutions, it also considers what an enabling environment capable of reducing the harms of this exploitative practice might look like.Cuckoo Land will be of interest to academic researchers in the fields of criminology, victimology, social work and drugs. It will also be essential reading for policymakers and practitioners working on the issue of cuckooing.

Culinary Capital

by Peter Naccarato Kathleen Lebesco

TV cookery shows hosted by celebrity chefs. Meal prep kitchens. Online grocers and restaurant review sites. Competitive eating contests, carnivals and fairs, and junk food websites and blogs. What do all of them have in common? According to authors Kathleen LeBesco and Peter Naccarato, they each serve as productive sites for understanding the role of culinary capital in shaping individual and group identities in contemporary culture.Beyond providing sustenance, food and food practices play an important social role, offering status to individuals who conform to their culture's culinary norms and expectations while also providing a means of resisting them. Culinary Capital analyzes this phenomenon in action across the landscape of contemporary culture. The authors examine how each of the sites listed above promises viewers and consumers status through the acquisition of culinary capital and, as they do so, intersect with a range of cultural values and ideologies, particularly those of gender and economic class.
