| Abstract: | In an effort to defuse some of the complexity related to corporate social responsibility (CSR), an overview is presented of the various opinions and an attempt is made to sort out the various approaches taken toward determining the responsiblities of business institutions to the broader society. These diverse approaches to CSR are grouped within "camps" and some general observations are made about the foundations of the debate itself. Finally, it is argued that the complexity of the CSR debate can be somewhat simplified once the many different CSR theories are classified in relation to a foundational question: "Are corporations social institutions?" |
