Beyond CSR: organisational learning for global responsiblity.
Ariane Berthoin Antal, André Sobczak
The narrowness of the term 'CSR' fails to address the learning agenda for a sustainable world: instead, we need the concept of 'Global Responsibility'. Research into organisational learning reveals the types of learning required - those that will set the stage for a new role − that of the globally responsible corporation. |

Business and Society - the never-ending story.
Ariane Berthoin Antal, Meinolf Dierkes
Ariane Berthoin Antal and Meinholf Dierkes introduce the Special Issue. Each company tries (but often fails) to construct a happy story about its relationship to society. There is a limited range of plots: quests, downfalls, contests and scams. The actors may change over time, but the plots remain largely the same. Can a business successfully write its own story in an increasingly complex world? |

Giving your organisation SPIRIT: an overview and call to action for directors on issues of corporate governance, corporate reputation and corporate responsibility.
Steve Downing, Carola Hillenbrand, Keith MacMillan, Kevin Money

Goodwill and the Third Place - business or society?
Alexander N. MacMillan
Keith MacMillan's goodwill thesis is set in its historical, theoretical and biographical context. Keith MacMillan supplemented the 'hard' social sciences with his emphasis on the 'social'; while not departing from positivist social science he introduced an almost spiritual quality to his theory of good governance. His life is seen as a practical working-out of his ideas. |

Reputation as a source of social capital.
Lee E Preston
What constitutes corporate social capital? And is it really capital? Corporate social capital is considered in the light of the various ways it has been described in recent literature. CSC, the paper proposes, is yoked to reputation - indeed, reputation is itself a form of capital, and behaves similarly. |
