Chapter 1: Social Responsibility Framework 1
CHAPTER 1
Social Responsibility Framework
PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE
Businesses today must cope with challenging decisions related to their interface with society. Consumers,
as well as others, are increasingly emphasizing the importance of companies’ reputations, which are often
based on ethics and social responsibility. In this chapter, we examine the concept of social responsibility
and how it relates to today’s complex business environment. First, we define social responsibility. Next, we
consider the development of social responsibility, its benefits to organizations, and the changing nature of
expectations in our increasingly global economy. Finally, we introduce the framework for studying social
responsibility used by this text, which includes such elements as strategic management for stakeholder
relations; legal, regulatory, and political issues; business ethics; corporate governance; consumer relations;
employee relations; philanthropy and community relations; technology issues; sustainability issues; and
global relations.
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
