Abstract

Within the past few years there have been pronounced changes in the views of many business managers about their social responsibilities which have paralleled and partly reflected the changing priorities and expectations of society about business’s social functions. As a result there are today few subjects of more concern to business than the issue of their responsibility to the society. Inherent in the question of corporate social responsibility is the development of a criterion other than one traditionally applicable, or the evaluation of the corporate role in society. Corporations, like all other social institutions, operate under an explicit or implied social contract whereby an institution agrees to perform certain socially relevant and desirable functions and in return receives certain rewards.
