Epilogue – Business, Society and Globalisation: An Agenda for Corporate Leadership

Abstract

Capacity of a business to deal with the political and economic climate of a region or a nation depends on its financial strength. This ability to influence often remains undisclosed and is put to practice as and when required. The Enron project in India has been able to influence different state governments of Maharashtra, but the details of negotiation have never been made public. The marketing, production and labour departments of an industry often take care of the demands of the international customer and the industry, and are often not viewed as components of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Growth of civil society organisations has led to increasing democratisation in the marginalised and impoverished communities creating local responses to the grand meta-narratives. Yet nation state needs to evolve a new role for itself in this fast changing world. A stable nation providing good governance is thus a basic requirement for developing countries in their attempt to safe guard rights and interests of their poor and marginalised people.
