Welcome to the The International Research Network on Business, Development and Society (BDS Network)

The network pays particular attention to critical and in-depth investigation of the broad themes of ‘business and poverty reduction’, ‘CSR impact assessment’, ‘participation and CSR’, ‘governance and CSR’, and so-called ‘Southern-centred perspectives’. The network seeks to encourage independent space where reflections and engagement in dialogue on the on-going changes on the broad CSR and development/business and poverty reduction discourses and practices can take place.

The business, CSR and development policy and research agendas are constantly evolving and the network seeks to engage in and impact on these changes.

The CSR, development research and policy agendas have broadened since the start of the network in 2003 to encompass a range of new issues (such as SMEs and CSR, Prahalad’s bottom-of-the-pyramid approach, etc.). However, the network continues to see a need to deepen and nuance our existing critique of the mainstream, business-oriented approach to CSR.
