Corporate social responsibility has four components. Do you
agree that public firms should address all four elements? Why or
why not? If not, where should the firm “draw the line”? Please
provide an example to explain your logic.
According to Rothaermel there are four components to
corporate social responsibility. They are economic
responsibility, legal responsibility, ethical responsibility, and
philanthropic responsibility (18). Economic responsibility deals
with the fiscal responsibilities a company has to its debtors,
suppliers, governments, and investors. This requires a certain
ethical obligation of an organization. Legal responsibility
requires the company to adhere and obey all laws that exist
within the host nation. Ethical responsibility goes beyond legal
obligations and creates and ethical working environment that
tries to follow more than law but also decency as it pertains to
the industry and those involved in it. Lastly is philanthropic
responsibility, which refers to the organization giving back,
usually financially, to the communities that it serves, or even
beyond that.
Personally I believe that these four philosophies should be
practices by public firms. These elements help create goodwill
within the communities and markets they serve. IN 2021 where
social initiatives have never been more at the forefront, being
proactive to that movement and adhering to these
responsibilities can really have a positive impact to the
organizations. The younger generations which will be the
turning over the aging work force want to work for and support
companies that have a solid foundation of making a positive
impact in the communities. This will help them find better
talent, it will help them secure investors, it will help them draw
loyal consumers. People want to support companies that are
viewed positively and these responsibilities help build that trust
and positivity.
Rothaermel, Frank. Strategic Management. McGraw-Hill Higher
Education (US), 2020. [Columbia College].
Corporate social responsibility is the obligation or the
responsibility that a corporate firm possesses in relation to the
society in which it is operating. In the modern business
environment, almost all organizations, both private and public,
has their own CSR policies and procedures.
When considering CSR, it has four important components. They
include ethical actions, legal aspects, economic interests, and
philanthropic responsibilities.
ABC is a public firm that operates as a not-for-profit, but for
society. The operations of the public organization ABC should be
bound to its core values and should reflect the ethical
perspectives. For example, the provisioning of compensation,
recruitment process, etc should be measured based on ethical
perspectives. If it reflects any sort of discrimination here, then it
fails to be responsible. Similarly, if the organization fails to meet
the legal aspects prevailing in the market then also its credibility
will be lost in relation to CSR.
When considering the economic perspective, the public
organization ABC should focus on meeting the demands and the
interests of the shareholders and the stakeholders in order to be
integrated into CSR policies. Taking actions in relation to the
improvement of the society in which it is operating shall not also
be eliminated in order to be obligated to CSR policy.
If an organization has to be obligated to CSR policies and
procedures, it will have to compile with all the four components
of the CSR.
