CSR resources galore!

Today at lunch, I attended a seminar by Sandra Waddock, a well-recognized professor at Boston College who is also closely associated with BC's Center for Corporate Citizenship. She is on sabbatical this year at Harvard, as a visiting scholar at the Kennedy School's CSR Initiative.

Waddock has made the brave move of doing descriptive work in the CSR field - I say brave because it's highly useful, and yet academics often turn their noses down at anything that doesn't involve opinionated analysis into a highly-specific area.

She has compiled a wealth of information about what comprises the CSR landscape - the guidelines, instututions, terms, publications, etc. It's much like my own "resource website" (see link at right), but on steroids.

Here is a direct link to Prof. Waddock's paper and also to her powerpoint presentation. Check it out - it's amazing!
