I am happy to announce that, over the winter break, I wrote the sixth edition of Strategic CSR (the new cover is below, and the new ToC is at the bottom of this email). The book is due to be published by Sage this summer (the launch date is mid-August). These editions don't get any easier – lots of details to update! :-)
Although the 6e will not be available until August, Sage is now accepting requests for review copies and orders on the book's new website:
As the website, explains:
NEW TO THIS EDITION:
- Updated examples around COVID-19, BLM, the supply chain crunch, and the great resignation have been added.
- A significantly revised case study on Media has been re-written to reflect the latest updates in social media, including the Facebook/Meta rebrand.
- New chapter learning objectives appear at the beginning of each chapter.
In addition, there was a thorough re-write of all chapters – bringing each up-to-date and continuing to refine my arguments. There are also 22 new Figures/Tables added and 11 Figures/Tables redesigned (with 10 that were deleted). I will also work on the instructor materials again over the summer.
Of course if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you, as always, for your support.
Take care
David
