| Abstract: | This article presents a descriptive conceptual framework including four different company configurations as to orientations toward corporate social responsibility (CSR): i. Skeptical, ii. Pragmatic, iii. Engaged, and iv. Idealistic. The framework's configuration indicates what position a company adopts in relation to CSR. It is argued herein that there is no one formula to fit all companies, descriptively or prescriptively. However, the potential variety in approaches to CSR is not infinite, as it can be split logically into a few fundamental approaches, realized in the four organizational configurations of the conceptual framework etc. |
