Some corporations claim to be federations but actually operate as confederations. A confederation exists when a consolidated corporate information organization is divided among the individual business units while a small corporate staff if retained with a largely undefined and emasculated mission. Corporate finance pertains to the acquisition and allocation of a company\'s resources to maximize shareholder wealth. More simply, it is the process of obtaining funds and investing them in a manner that will maximize profits and build value for shareholders. Corporate social responsibility is the voluntary role and contribution on the part of the business community towards a better social and environmental development, which is beyond their investment to organisational development. This book is a broad canvas of contemporary situation on corporate sociology giving a flavour of present debate on corporate as an important stakeholder in civil sociology for sustainable development. It makes an in-depth study of the corporate sociology participation in social development in India and foreign countries. (jacket)
