Corporate Social Responsibility in Finland “In the face of increasingly urgent sustainability challenges, the Nordics provide inspiration. Olkkonen and Quarshie deliver a thorough and timely exploration of the Finnish approach to business responsibility and stakeholder thinking that will serve as a foundational building block for the growing global attention to sustainability in the Nordics. This is a must read for everyone with an interest in the Sustainable Vikings!” —Robert Strand, Executive Director and Lecturer, University of California-­ Berkeley, USA, and Associate Professor, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark “From the early days of industrialization of the country to the future challenges faced by Finnish business, Olkkonen and Quarshie nail it. Creatively mixing analysis, interviews and cases, they provide an authoritative, contextualized, complex and compelling assessment of the state of corporate social responsibility in Finland.” —Arno Kourula, Associate Professor of Strategy, University of Amsterdam Business School, The Netherlands
