About this book
Social responsibility and social capital are high on the agenda of governments and corporations. But what of the small firm? Little is known about the small firm response to social issues, despite their domination of the business landscape. This book brings empirical research on social responsibility from Germany, the UK and the Netherlands together with the theoretical concept of social capital. It makes fascinating and sometimes surprising reading for all those concerned with the role business plays in society.
