This paper is one of a series of Issue Papers based on preliminary findings from the site visits and consultations carried out by the Corporate Engagement Project (CEP). CEP is a collaborative learning project involving multinational corporations that operate in areas of socio-political tensions or conflict. Based on visits to companies’ field site operations, CEP identifies and analyzes the challenges for corporations that recur across a wide range of different companies and contexts. From the patterns that emerge, CEP develops practical management tools to managers for supporting stable and productive relations in the societies where corporations work.
