Abstract: | New theories and rationales have been developed for the notion that a corporation has responsibilities to society that go beyond economic duties. While various definitions of social responsibility have been advocated, there are five key elements in these definitions: (1) corporations have responsibilities that go beyond the production of goods and services at a profit; (2) these responsibilities involve helping to solve important social problems; (3) corporations have a broader constituency than stockholders alone; (4) they have impacts that go beyond simple marketplace transactions; and (5) corporations serve a wider range of human values than the sole focus on economic values. |
