The concept was first brought forward in the late 50’s: nevertheless it was during the late 70’s that scholarly research started to take off. “The centre of responsible business (CRB) explains CRS as being an extensive set of action, administration, procedure and practice that are at the very core of corporate culture, and the decision forming practice throughout an organization.

But “What is corporate social responsibility?” Corporate social responsibility is about how companies manage the business processes to produce an overall positive impact on society. According to Lord Holme and Richard Watts “Corporate Social Responsibility is the continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large" (“Corporate social responsibility,”n.d). There two opposite views of corporate social responsibility are the classical view and the socioeconomic view.

...Ethical Perspectives on Social Responsibility Submitted to Northcentral University DEFINING THE CONCEPT OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Depending on whom you ask, the concept of social responsibility may mean different things. However, within an organizational culture, social responsibility refers to ethical practices that benefit the greater society and simultaneously benefits the health of the organization. The concept of social responsibility is an ideology of ethical behavior that upholds that people and stakeholders should act in the interest of the greater collective good. Typically, social responsibility addresses the ethical obligations of organizations to sustain the law, while complying with environmental and social regulations that are sustainable for economic development. Stated simply, social responsibility is management’s interest in the welfare of the society in which it conducts business. It is a concept whose inception can be traced by to Peter Drucker, known as “The Father of Modern Management.” His realization that workers should be treated as a resource was ground breaking in the corporate world. Drucker defended the concept of proper corporate social responsibility to the point of turning a social problem into economic opportunity and productivity, while creating well paid jobs performed by competent people. William A. Cohen, a Drucker graduate and author of the article What Drucker Taught Us About Social Responsibility (2009), stated, “Few could...

...Demetria Brown Social Responsibility Is any corporation doing their part? Abstract In today’s society of accountability and sustainability, corporate reputation and corporate responsibility are intertwined. Corporations in particular now have to deal with rapidly growing pressures and expectations from diverse and demanding stakeholders (the people of the public) pressures that they cannot escape and expectations that they must address. Corporate Social Responsibility has begun to move from the sideline to the mainstream, from its established positions in socially responsible and environmental investment movements, to the center of media attention and on to the public agendas of multinational corporations. Much good can be credited to ethical public relations practice as is relates to corporate social responsibility. (Broom, 2009, p.133) The term "Corporate Social Responsibility" demonstrates the new expectations that are emerging for multinational corporations. Public relations and corporate responsibility worlds would do well to share an interest in aligning corporate reputation with a post-CSR agenda that is increasingly focused on accountability and sustainability -- and increasingly integrated with corporate strategy. Most corporate managements and communications professionals understand the basics of the corporate responsibility agenda and its potential impact, on the reputations of their companies and clients. Not all corporations are comfortable with integrating...

...all necessitated the re-evaluation of the business-society relationship and facilitated the emergence of innovative business social responsibility-practices. In view of the expanding and dynamic nature of contemporary business organizations, awareness of the impact of these institutions is reflecting on the environment in which they operate. This awareness has led to a definite conclusion on the roles of business organizations in the society and the growing demand for corporate social reward in terms of better social performance. For instance, the conflict in the Niger Delta area was aggravated by intense oil exploration activities in the area without adequate compensation from either the government or the oil multinational companies that reap profit from the area. The apparent neglect and marginalization of the people of the Niger-Delta has led to the call for compensation for their exploited wealth, the physical development of their environment and access to political power which made communal clashes, ethnic nationalism and movement for self determination to be prominent in the region and the phenomenon of oil pollution has only added to the already tense atmosphere in the Niger-Delta area. Today, business organizations are enjoined to pay attention to social issues and problems which are far removed from their central economic pursuit. The re-invigoration of the idea that business organization has social responsibility that goes beyond profit making to include helping to...

...Social Responsibility Corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be defined as the way businesses integrate social, environmental and economic concerns into their corporate values, culture, decision making, strategy and operations in a transparent and accountable manner. The result of this approach is that these businesses often establish better practices within their operation, create wealth and improve society (Nickels, 2009). In the past, businesses principally concerned themselves with winning in the marketplace and little else as they believed this was their sole role. Economists had been quoted as declaring that the only responsibility of any business is to make money and please its shareholders. Economists may view companies who practice in CSR as wasting resources and money that should be used in making more profits for their shareholders CSR is no longer defined by how much money a company contributes to charity, but by its overall involvement in activities that improve the quality of people’s lives. Corporate responsibility has come up as an important subject matter in the international business community and is increasingly becoming a conventional activity. There is mounting recognition of the significant effect the activities of the private sector have on numerous stakeholders like; their workforce and clientele, the society, the environment, competitors, business associates, investors, shareholders, governments and others.

(DBBL), one of the largest private banks in Bangladesh. This study has been conducted among the stakeholders and beneficiaries of the Dutch Bangla Bank Limited. Surveys have been conducted using structured questionnaires to critically examine the subjective perceptions of the meaning, reasons and various aspects of CSR tasks of DBBL in Bangladesh. It has been found out that common people either do not have clear understanding about CSR activities or are not really concerned about the social responsibilities of the corporate organizations. The expected outcome of CSR activities, as has been stated in the memorandum and commitments of the corporate houses, has yet to be achieved. This study suggests that a more comprehensive and humane involvement of the common people in the CSR activities is required, which would not only fulfill the intended goals and objectives of the corporate organizations...

Similarly, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD, 1999) seeks to develop a clear understanding of corporate social responsibility, including a matrix of corporate social responsibility indicators. But what is meant by Corporate Social Responsibility (‘CSR’)? Responsibility for what and to whom and who is calling for firms to be socially responsible?
