As we embark upon the Fourth Industrial Revolution and embrace the era of Globalization 4.0, the urgency to prioritize social and environmental objectives becomes paramount. The realm of concepts such as shared purpose, shared value, and corporate social responsibility has witnessed a rapid evolution in response to the ever-changing dynamics of society. However, this evolution has occurred in a fragmented and largely misunderstood manner, with no single study providing a comprehensive and integrated perspective on these profound transitions.

CSR for Purpose, Shared Value, and Deep Transformation takes a long-overdue stock of how these transformations are intricately woven into the core concepts of CSR. By delving deep into the realms of social entrepreneurship, innovation, shared value, social impact, stakeholder engagement, and the development of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) beyond 2030, Virginia Munro offers a comprehensive framework for understanding the evolving role of the corporate dollar in fostering a global ecosystem that encompasses the interests of all stakeholders.

For its rigorous theoretical framework and easily accessible case studies, this book serves as a vital resource for researchers and students of innovative entrepreneurship and CSR-related concepts. It also holds immense value for individuals grappling with the challenges of the new normal, as it provides insights into the evolving responsibilities in this era of heightened responsibility.

The foreword for this book is penned by renowned CSR guru and Emeritus Professor Archie Carroll, further endorsing its significance. Additional endorsements come from a diverse range of practitioners and academics, including former Deputy-Director General of UNESCO and Emeritus Professor Colin Power.
