The Corporation: A Critical, Multi-Disciplinary Handbook
 |
| Anteprima |
The
corporation has become an increasingly dominant force in contemporary
society. However, comprehensive, in-depth analysis of the concept of the
corporation is often restricted, or limited to one disciplinary
approach. This handbook brings together the cutting-edge scholarship,
expertise and insight of leading scholars in a wide range of
disciplines, notably management studies, law, history, political
science, anthropology, sociology and criminology, using a critical
approach to dissect and understand the corporation. Ten chapters provide
overviews of the state of play of critical scholarship on the
corporation in each of these disciplines. Further contributors tackle
current hot topics, such as corporate social responsibility, corporate
crime, global value chains, financialization, and the interaction
between corporations and communities. Finally, they consider resistance
and alternatives to the corporation. With its interdisciplinary
approach, this book is an invaluable resource for all readers studying
the past, present and future of the corporation.
