Controversies in International Corporate Responsibility
International Corporate Responsibility Series, Volume
3
John Hooker, John F. Hulpke, and Peter Madsen, Editors
The field of international corporate responsibility has emerged as an
important subfield of business ethics in response to increasing concerns
about the ethical conduct of international businesses. This volume contains
a selection of papers originally presented at the Third Conference on International
Corporate Responsibility, which was held in 2006 at the Hong Kong University
of Science and Technology. It includes intensive discussions by prominent scholars from many countries of codes of
business conduct for multinational enterprises, socially responsible investing, corporate reputation
and globalization, corporate responsibility and environmental issues, investment in developing economies,
and responsible marketing. The complete table of contents is provided below.
This conference was organized by the Center for International Corporate Responsibility at Carnegie
Mellon University, which believes that advances in business ethics require a truly international
approach that accounts for cultural differences. The Center was established in 2002 to raise awareness
and increase understanding of the global consequences of corporate decisions. The Conference on
International Corporate Responsibility is sponsored by the Carnegie Bosch Institute for Applied
Studies in International Management at Carnegie Mellon University, which also supported this
publication. The conference is held every two years and each conference volume is published on
behalf of Carnegie Mellon University by the Philosophy Documentation Center.
