NEWS TIP: K-STATE BUSINESS ETHICS EXPERT CO-AUTHORS BOOK ON CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP
MANHATTAN -- Diane Swanson, a business ethics expert at Kansas State University, is co-author of a new book about corporate citizenship.
Marc Orlitzky, and associate professor at Penn State University Altoona, wrote "Toward Integrative Corporate Citizenship" with Swanson, professor of management and von Waaden business administration professor at K-State. It was published by Palgrave Macmillan.
Swanson said that in researching for the book, the authors found that in many cases corporate social responsibility can pay off financially for companies and that one of the most important factors is executive leadership.
