Corporate Social Responsibility ( Csr )

As recently as a decade ago, many peoples,companies or organizations viewed ethics,social responsibility,business ethics only in terms of administrative compliance with legal standards and adherence to internal rules and regulations. Today the situation is different. Attention to them is on the rise across the world and many companies or organizations realize that in order to succeed, they must earn the respect and confidence of their customers. Like never before, corporatons are being asked, encouraged and prodded to improve their business practices to emphasize legal and ethical behavior. Companies, professional firms and individuals alike are being held increasingly accountable for their actions, as demand

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is something that affects all companies and should be an active factor in the company’s decision making. It is something all corporations need to care about. CSR is when business’ or corporations take part in an initiative or campaign for a cause that will benefit society and/or in some way make the world a better place (Taylor, 2015). Initially, Corporate Social Responsibility started to take shape around the 1950’s, but some say that it dates all the way back to the 1800s, the idea of CSR was seen (Carroll, 2007). One may think that because it is dated so long ago, it doesn’t have an important impact today nevertheless, it is proven that Corporate Social Responsibility is a pathway for entities to self benefit as they are in the process of benefitting society.

Although people’s moral characters are probably developed before they get into a business school, it is still useful for business schools to cover ethics, including giving students an idea about the adverse consequences of unethical behavior to themselves, their firms, and the nation.

A business must operate with ethics as a guiding principle to be successful and profitable. A company that is publically traded bears a responsibility of being a good steward of the profits the company earns, for the stakeholders, employees, and clients. The social aspect of a company and ethics go hand-in-hand. If a business fails to act ethically responsible, the result of that behavior can affect it socially. “The concept of social responsibility proposes that a private corporation has responsibilities to society that extend beyond making a profit” (Wheelen & Hunger, 2010, pg. 72).

Business ethics and corporate social responsibility have become an increasing area of focus for organizations today. However, this has not always been the case in the American business environment. Chapter three "Conducting Business Ethically and Responsibly" (R.W. Griffin & R.J. Ebert, p.56 - p.87) concentrates on the development of ethical codes of conduct as it relates to business. The chapter also focuses on the social responsibility an organization holds in relation to everyday decision making. Ethics and social responsibility go hand in hand. Ethics affects individuals or groups within the workplace, whereas "social responsibility refers to the overall route in which a company decides to balance its involvement with employees, stake

In recent years, Corporate and Social Responsibility has become an ever increasing concern and source of community debate. It is now socially accepted that corporations have some ongoing responsibility, though sometimes ignored, to set a good example, make decisions based on social good and on ensuring positive environmental practices.

The extent to which a business should practice corporate social responsibility is a continuing debate in modern society. Only providing services or selling products no longer constitutes a successful company, as there are expectations for firms to behave in a manner that is consistent with public policy. This creates a philosophical dilemma for corporations who wish to maintain positive relations with society, but not impede on their internal operations. The question becomes if corporations today can engage in business strategies that are both ethical and profitable.

“A major problem we identify in business is that organisations are designed as profit making mechanisms and have no interest in the good of society” (Bartlett & Preston, 2000). Companies always want to have an ethical advantage over other companies but only for the profit. With globalisation and technological advances, it can put a stress on some companies as they always need profit and market share to be successful and grow. “Individual managers (tone at the top) play an essential role making sure (that unethical behaviour) doesn 't happen,” (Heskett, 2011). Companies rely on their top managers to make these hard decisions about ethics. Though the company had these values and views it is the managers who make the decision for the business. Hence companies in a competitive environment will not always be ethical.

Consumers all over the world are pressuring companies to become more socially responsible. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a measurement of a business’ impacts on society, both positive and negative. Pharmaceutical companies in particular are held to a high ethical standard by the public due to the nature of their product. Novartis, one of the largest healthcare and pharmaceutical companies in the world, aspires to be a model of ethics and philanthropy in the industry and sets a global standard of CSR for all businesses. This paper examines some of Novartis’ most recent CSR actions that contribute to the company’s sublime reputation, but also investigates lawsuits against Novartis and shortcomings with its transparency which the administration continually fails to address.

Is your organizations’ bottom-line, impacted by ineffective communication of its Corporate Social Responsibility? Research indicates that the global business model, internal customers, and external customers are requiring organizations to act and respond in a moral manner that is beneficial to society. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is “a concept that suggests commercial enterprises have a moral duty to care for their stakeholders in all aspects of their business operations” (Hargett & Williams, 2009). An organization 's CSR strategy conveys the way in which they intend to responsibly engage and protect society as a whole. The CSR strategy is multifaceted and requires a subtle equilibrium of communicating the strategy, participating

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the intention of the companies to do the right things and act in certain ways that are good for the company, society and environment. CSR was accelerated in 1970 (Archie B, 2006) and took into account since there was a concern between the increased population and scarce resources. It was established in order to ensure that the global development is sustainable. There are three fundamental aspects of sustainability, economic progress, communities’ relationships and environmental protection.

Considerable research has been undertaken on Toyota Motors Corporation.

Although many research about corporate social responsibility (CSR) have been conducted, there are still some field to study more. The purpose of this research paper is to find out whether Business-to-Business companies implement CSR actively. According to the numerous researches shows that correlation between Business-to-Consumer and CSR are strongly related due to variety reasons such as brand image and brand equity. Thus, we thought that B2B business is not actively doing because B2B companies are not directly related to consumer. To understand and enhance this research paper, we cover basic concept and indicators of CSR. In addition, we employs “2014 Global CSR Reptrack 100” report released by reputation institute to disclose the result.

Classical capitalism has been the basic inspiration for business. In this view, a business is socially responsible if it maximizes profits while operating within the law. Today the classical ideology still commands the economic landscape, but ethical theories of broader responsibility have worn down its prominences.
