The A-Z of Corporate Social Responsibility has served as a one-of-a-kind dictionary and a standard reference text for managers, academics, teachers, students, officials and volunteers in the area of CSR. The original Encyclopaedia comprised 339 terms encompassing everything from Stakeholders, sin taxes and social entrepreneurship to organisations such as the Global Compact or the Equator Principles. Terms are split up into Core concepts such as Sustainability (with 2000 words definitions), Key words, such as philanthropy (with 750 words) and Definitions, such as ethics officer (250 words). ICCA contacted the leadingexperts in the field, leading global thinkers and CSR practitioners and requested their contribution. The new edition will concentrate on both updating theold content as well as increasing the number of new terms in the book in a two prong strategy. The editors will draw up a list of new terms (circa 20-30) which they believe should be included which reflect new developments such as corporate governance issues as a consequence of the banking crisis. The editors will approach the authors/experts deemed most expert to write up these terms but retain the option of writing these themselves should time/schedules not permit.Dirk Matten, Hewlett Packard Chair of Corporate Social Responsibility at YorkUniversity Business School, Toronto.
