The Future of Corporate Social Responsibility

Dear Colleagues,

The forthcoming Special Issue in our journal, dedicated to The Future of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), will serve as a pivotal platform for in-depth exploration and analysis of this ever-evolving field. With a focus on the evolving landscape of CSR, we aim to elucidate the intricate interplay between business, society, and the environment. Our scope encompasses a wide array of topics, including the shifting paradigms of CSR, the role of emerging technologies, the influence of regulatory frameworks, and the ethical dimensions of corporate engagement. By examining these facets, we intend to supplement the existing literature by offering fresh perspectives and innovative insights into the future trajectories of CSR. As CSR continues to undergo transformation, this Special Issue will equip scholars and practitioners with a comprehensive understanding of how corporations can proactively address the most pressing global challenges while achieving sustainable business growth. Through a multidisciplinary approach, we aim to enrich the discourse on CSR, bridging gaps in knowledge and inspiring novel avenues for research and practice.

We request that, prior to submitting a manuscript, interested authors initially submit a proposed title and an abstract of 200–500 words summarizing their intended contribution. Please send it to the Guest Editors Leyuan You at [email protected] or to the Administrative Sciences Editorial Office ([email protected]). Abstracts will be reviewed by the Guest Editors for the purposes of ensuring proper fit within the scope of the Special Issue. Full manuscripts will undergo double-blind peer-review.

Dr. Leyuan You
Guest Editor
