Organizing Corporate Social Responsibility in Small and Large Firms: Size Matters
Based on the findings of a qualitative empirical study of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Swiss MNCs and SMEs, we suggest that smaller firms are not necessarily less advanced in organizing CSR than large firms.

Social Enterprise and Dis/identification : The Politics of Identity Work in the English Third Sector
Social enterprise has been criticized for discursively transforming third sector organizations and practitioners into economic agents. Such a critique too readily construes the discourse of social enterprise as a deterministic force that encroaches on all aspects of organizational and individual identity. We reintroduce
a sense of agency to discursive conceptualizations through...

Nachhaltigkeit beginnt beim Umdenken
Nachhaltigkeit ist zum alles bekräftigenden Zauberwort geworden. Der Applaus ist garantiert - oder kennen Sie jemanden, der gegen nachhaltiges Wirtschaften ist? Offenbar tut das allgemein erhobene Nachhaltigkeitspostulat niemandem weh. Diese vordergründige Harmonie ist verdächtig: Beruht der Erfolg des Zauberworts etwa auf einem Scheinkonsens?

Morality Meet Politics, Politics Meet Morality : Exploring the Political in Political Responsibility
This brief response to Smith focuses on his distinction between moral and political responsibility in general and how it relates to human rights in particular. It argues that the notion of political responsibility as is used in the debate on political CSR often does not exclude morality but is based on it.

Managervergütungen - letztlich ein Integritätsproblem
Wenn es am guten Willen der obersten Verantwortungsträger fehlt, nützen alle Bemühungen um eine bessere Corporate Governance und um zeitgemässe Führungssysteme wenig. Jahrelange öffentliche Kritik ist an den Bezügern von Millionengehältern ungehört abgeprallt. Woran liegt das? Und wo ist für eine nachhaltige Lösung des Problems anzusetzen? Ein grundlegender Faktor ist in der Debatte...

Sozialer Fortschritt in der Bürgergesellschaft : Horizonte einer zivilisierten Marktwirtschaft
Etwas muss schief gelaufen sein mit dem modernen Projekt der freiheitlichen Gesellschaft und Marktwirtschaft. Der wirtschaftliche «Fortschritt» dient kaum mehr der Erweiterung der realen Bürgerfreiheit und der Verbesserung der gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisse, sondern entfaltet eine eigensinnige Sachzwanglogik des globalen Standortwettbewerbs gegen sie. Eine auffallend kleine...
