As we embark upon the Fourth Industrial Revolution and embrace the era of Globalization 4.0, the urgency to commit to social and environmental goals as outlined in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals becomes paramount. The theory, research, and practice surrounding concepts such as shared purpose, shared value, and corporate social responsibility have undergone rapid evolution in response to the changing dynamics of society. However, these transformations have been pursued in a fragmented and often poorly understood manner, with no single study offering a comprehensive and integrated perspective on these dramatic shifts.

CSR for Purpose, Shared Value, and Deep Transformation takes a long-overdue stock of how these transformations are integrated within the trajectory of CSR's core concepts. By adopting a global perspective, this book delves into the realm of social entrepreneurship, innovation, shared value, social impact, stakeholder engagement, and the development of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals beyond 2030. Virginia Munro, a renowned expert in the field, provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the evolving role of the corporate dollar in fostering a global ecosystem that is inclusive of all stakeholders.

For its theoretical rigor and its easily digestible case studies, this book is a must-read for both researchers and students of innovative entrepreneurship and CSR-related concepts. It also serves as a valuable resource for individuals grappling with the new normal in a world of heightened responsibility. The foreword for this book is penned by acclaimed CSR guru and Emeritus Professor Archie Carroll, while additional endorsements are provided by a diverse range of practitioners and academics, including former Deputy-Director General of UNESCO and Emeritus Professor Colin Power.
