BUSINESS AND SOCIETY

Аннотация

Social responsibility. Corporate accountability. Social accounting. Business ethics. Compliance. Reputation management. Corporate citizenship. These are terms you may have heard used, or even used yourself, to describe the array of rights, responsibilities, and roles of business organizations. You may have participated in philosophical discussions of whether business owes society anything more than profits. You may have also bought a particular T-shirt or cup of coffee and appreciated that a share of the profits supported a favorite charity. Although there is no universal agreement on the responsibilities, stakeholders, and programs that are required, expected, and desired of business, all businesspeople make decisions and take actions related to corporate citizenship.
