Corporate Social Responsibility

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses corporate social responsibility and 19 organizational theory articles in a 25 page paper synthesizing theory with practice. The paper argues that many companies now recognize that they have responsibilities not only to their shareholders, but also to other interested communities.

From the Paper:

"Traditionally managers are responsible to a company's board of directors and the board of directors is responsible to the shareholders. This has resulted in a bias among managers toward returning value to shareholders to the exclusion or at least detriment of others who have an interest in a company's performance."
