In 2013, India became the first country in the world to make corporate social responsibility (CSR) mandatory for highly profitable corporations. This research takes an interpretative phenomenology approach to examine the experiences of CSR managers who navigate societal and political pressures surrounding implementation of the regulation. Thus, the article offers both insights from practice to the theoretical academic debate of the benefits of vo…
Doubt, Delay, and Discourse
This article proposes a theoretical framework to explain climate skeptics’ persuasive discursive strategies against anthropogenic global warming. By combining Bourdieu’s notions of political and social fields with discursive articulation the framework explains skeptics’ strategies to politicise climate change, generate debate, and delay political action. To illustrate the framework, we analyze publications of the New Zealand Climate Science Coali…

Lake Taupo
This paper explores the motivations for and processes of a unique multi-stakeholder collaboration aimed at the long-term sustainable development of a region. The region is that of Australasia's largest lake, Lake Taupo, New Zealand. Lake Taupo has geographic features that have not only enabled the development of a strong economy based on tourism, forestry and agriculture but have also generated particular environmental problems. The findings of t…
Boundaryless Careers
Boundaryless career theories are increasingly prominent in career studies and management studies, and provide a new ‘status quo’ concerning modern careers. This paper contextualizes the boundaryless careers literature within management studies, and evaluates its contributions, including broadening concepts of career and focusing interorganizational career phenomena. It acknowledges the considerable stimulus given to career studies by this literat…
Influence in science dialogue
Dialogue as a science communication process has been idealized in both practitioner and scholarly literature. However, there is inconsistency in what is meant by dialogue, the forms it should take, and its purported consequences. Empirical research on the experienced benefits of dialogue is limited. The present study addresses this gap by examining attitudinal changes among laypeople and scientists in dialogue on the topic of human biotechnology …
Corporate Reports on Sustainability and Sustainable Development
This paper analyses how the world's largest corporations communicate about sustainability and sustainable development in their non‐financial reports. It investigates the concept use, definitions and attempts at operationalization, and the rationales that corporations give to engage with them. It is concluded that the corporations typically opt to treat sustainability and sustainable development as given and unproblematic instead of addressing the…
Neoliberalism and knowledge interests in boundaryless careers discourse
Decades of critical research have established that economic and political ideologies permeate and shape thought, text and action, and academic knowledge production is no exception. This article examines how ideologies might permeate academic texts, by assessing the reach and influence of neoliberalism in research on boundaryless careers. Specifically, it asks: did the emergence and growth of scholarship on boundaryless careers support, challenge,…
The Debate over Corporate Social Responsibility
Should business strive to be socially responsible, and if so, how? This book updates and broadens the discussion of these questions by bringing together in one volume a variety of practical and theoretical perspectives on corporate social responsibility.
Government, corporate or social power? The internet as a tool in the struggle for dominance in public policy
This paper sets out to demonstrate to corporations the need to monitor closely and to respond genuinely to public opinion. It predicts a rise in the power of citizens and a government response to that power that will include regulation to protect social and environmental interests. The paper gives an overview of the ways in which the economic sector, embodied in corporations, has risen to and maintained a position of dominance both within nation …
Share-market Regulation in New Zealand
This paper discusses the central features of the process of policy change over the period of the 1980s and early 1990s in New Zealand. The discussion describes the underlying influences which have been identified as motivating the policy adjustments. The New Zealand Treasury came to occupy a pivotal role in policy formulation in the 1980s. The paper argues that the TreasuRy was very successful because of its ability, in part, to build and maintai…
AD Wars
During New Zealand's 1996 general election, neo-liberal employment law became the subject of two opposing advertising campaigns. Although the campaigns confined themselves to a single piece of legislation, the Employment Contracts Act, they reflected a deep division within New Zealand society. This article examines the two campaigns which were run by the Engineers' Union and the Employers' Federation. At its core, the Engineers' campaign was a de…
