International Business, Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility

Many of them at universities in countries far from the centers of capitalist power, business scholars explore a mechanism for sustainability by which investments made can achieve the full economic benefits as long as there is an agreement to promote social and political stability. The control over political and social variables determines, or helps to build, a competitive advantage, they say, and ensures a corporation's long-term running position on the market and the facilitation of capital accumulation. Among the topics are global civil society and international business, the dominant logic of strategic corporate responsibility and innovative value co-creation, developing a global market-entry framework for green and renewable technologies, conflicting forces for the internationalization of hydropower equipment producers, and a strategic policy framework for re-evaluating impacts of corporate social responsibility programs on the mining-affected areas of India.
