Make poverty business
By Craig Wilson and Peter Wilson
By Craig Wilson and Peter Wilson
Based on economic theory and good business practice, this easy-to-read account outlines the incentives for multinational leaders to do business with poor people in developing countries. In doing so, it revives the debate regarding the definition of corporate social responsibility, with the co-authors claiming multinational companies’ engagement in lesser developed countries cannot be classed as CSR. Follow-up questions and further reading suggestions will stimulate wider discussion on whether to support their case for making poverty business, long after you put this book down.
