Doctoral thesis of Philosophy: Stakeholder participation and corporate social responsibility : a critical study of problem gambling in the New South Wales registered club sector

This research sought to uncover the circumstances in which stakeholder interaction around the various perspectives on problem gambling might lead to a socially responsible approach to the management of poker machine gambling in clubs. The study’s methodology adapted a learning history framework of participative action research, and recruited stakeholders to act as “co-researchers” in a transparent-research approach to the exploration of the research question.
