Abstract

This paper explores the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility and presents the theoretical debates about it. On the one hand, there are numerous opinions claiming that the only real responsibility the companies have is combining different production factors for developing economical activities in order to gain and sustain profit while complying with the game’s rules. On the other hand, a totally different approach is based on the idea that the existence of a decision making structure and of a value set and responsibilities as a base in decision making are important arguments in giving moral responsibilities to companies. Beyond the controversy created by its use, important are the effects that such strategies have, not only on the organization activity, but on society, too.
