Corporate Social Responsibility from an Emerging Market Perspective Business schools ought to create and disseminate more knowledge on sustainability on one side, and how to create value and values in key markets of the future, such as India. Despite the proliferation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) related research in academic management literature, the numerous nuances of this multidisciplinary concept pose challenges in arriving at a clear conceptualization, especially in emerging giant markets such as India. Therefore, the addition of CSR viewpoints from an emerging economy can contribute invaluable insights to the growing body of scholarly work in this realm. This book addresses this research gap by exploring CSR from an Indian perspective. It asks what CSR denotes in the Indian setting from the pharmaceutical industrys perspective. Four comparative case studies form the basis of the methodology, complemented with 40 supplementary interviews with top management personnel in other companies within the industry.
