Foreword
Samuel O. Idowu and Stephen Vertigans have produced another fine book to follow up Corporate Social Responsibility in Sub-Saharan Africa. In doing so, they continue to move the social debate on from the diatribes of the twentieth century against transnational companies (TNCs) also called multinational corporations (MNCs). There is now a clear recognition in these academic contributions of the growing ability of well-run global companies to unleash resources and deliver innovations across a wide range of social issues and situations. This is also increasingly reflected in the widening interest of business schools and other academic disciplines in ethical issues, especially since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and the recognition that this calls for much clearer accountability across both the private and the public sectors.
