  This book is easily one of the best works yet on how to make corporate social investment work for the benefit of ordinary people … should be required reading by every CSI practitioner in Africa and abroad - much time, money and energy could be saved. - PROFESSOR JONATHAN JANSEN
  Developing an impactful corporate social investment (CSI) strategy and approach with real potential to positively change people's lives can be a tricky exercise. Those grappling with how best to approach CSI will find thought-provoking insights in this book that will contribute positively to how they view, shape and execute their CSI strategy. In a most accessible way, this guidebook on CSI presents an instructive and constructive way of building a CSI strategy.
  Setlogane Manchidi, Head of CSI at Investec, is known in the CSI space for his passion and strong desire to see meaningful change in people's lives. In this book, informed by his experiences as a CSI practitioner over the years, he unpacks what he considers to be essential aspects of CSI practice.  Manchidi adopts and articulates a question-based approach to creating an effective CSI strategy.
  Recognising that business is not separate from society, Manchidi suggests that companies need to ask themselves some serious questions, amongst them: Why should they be doing CSI and, importantly, why are they doing it? The questions, which are reflected on the cover of the book, are difficult ones which require complete honesty, deep consideration and the necessity of placing 'impact' at the centre of the formulation of CSI strategy.
  Through this book, Corporate Social Investment, Setlogane Manchidi reminds us of the significance of a carefully considered CSI strategy and approach, especially on a continent such as Africa with many socio-economic challenges that continue to impact negatively on ordinary people's day-to-day lives.

  Much has been written about the climate and its importance, but very little about how to understand the processes that operate on the basis of the good results of a climate survey or a positive and energizing work environment.
  Under the assumption that the climate results are the reflection of underlying variables, the author develops the application of the concept of collective intelligence, that is, how a group of people can generate greater joint value in the creation of a work environment that is a contribution to business and management. With an outstanding professional career in the areas of human resources and marketing in transnational companies, the author is currently a consultant and academic and, therefore, offers not only a cutting-edge theory in organizational climate, but also a series of concrete tools that They can be used by the reader, measuring instruments and a control panel to generate a work environment that produces sustainably positive results.
  This book is aimed at all people who seek to improve the work environment in companies or organizations, especially those who lead and lead teams and understand the positive impact of people's well-being in the management of companies.
  "To manage the climate of a company or organization, reading this book and analyzing its recommendations is an essential starting point."
