Short Description

There is an abundance of literature on corporate social responsibility (CSR), but little advice regarding how it should be communicated. This book represents the definitive research collection for CSR communication, taking stock of existing recommendations and demonstrating how the communication disciplines can make contributions to research gaps. Contributions from leading scholars in PR, organizational communication, and management show how theories of discourse, cognitive psychology, and rhetoric enrich our understanding of CSR communication. Suitable for upper-level undergraduates, graduates, and professionals.
