• Rethinking Corporate Social Engagement: Lessons from Latin America (2010)
  ISBN 978-1-56549-314-8; 978-1-56549-313-1 | Lester M. Salamon. Assesses the reality behind the “corporate social engagement (CSE)” hype in Latin America. Challenges the “MBA approach” that has dominated much of the thinking about CSE globally as inadequate for a region like Latin America and posits an alternative “corporate social engagement pyramid” as a framework for assessing CSE.
