Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,3, Turku School of Economics, course: Strategic Perspectives on International Business, 25 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Is corporate social responsibility a new business trend or perhaps a breeding ground competitive advantage?
