Social Responsibility of an Entrepreneur
Overview:
An entrepreneur is one who organizes, manages, and assumes the risk of
an enterprise. An entrepreneur visualizes a business, takes bold steps to establish
undertaking, coordinates the various factors of production and gives it a start. An
entrepreneur should be aware of ethics and social Responsibility in business and
should follow them in order to maintain the ecological balance in the society. The
study and examination of moral and social Responsibility in relation to business
practice and decision making in business is known as “Business Ethics”. The term
“business” is commonly referred to the commercial activities achieved at making
profit, but gradually there is a substantial change in the way in which people viewed
the business. In the past primary objective of a business was profit maximization
but the present perspectives on business objectives are not maximization. Besides
profit maximization the entrepreneur needs to fulfil the ethics in the business
Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a term used to describe a
company’s obligation to be sensitive to the needs of all the stakeholders in its
business operations. The company stakeholders include the following:
1. Owners 4. Customers

3. Suppliers 6. Community
The community stakeholder may include the government and
environment that the companies operate in. For companies with business
investments in different countries, the communities take account of a variety of
governments and environment.
Corporate Citizenship
Corporate Citizenship is often used interchangeably with CSR. Its concept
states that the long-term interest of business is best served when its profitability
and growth are accomplished alongside its social responsibilities. These social
responsibilities are ethical obligations toward the aforementioned stakeholders.
Some of these ethical obligations include the improvement of communities, the
safeguard for and sustainability of the environment, and the enhancement of the
quality of life of its stakeholders.
Manifestations of the practice of CSR include the following:
1. Social commitment to programs beyond the immediate community of
the enterprise.
2. Rapport between the business and the community.
3. Health and safety, family welfare and equal opportunity programs
inclusive of reward systems and legal reasonable working hours.
4. Sustainable environment programs.

Ethics and Social Responsibility for an Entrepreneur
Social Responsibility means eliminating corrupt, irresponsible, or unethical
behavior which might harm to the community, its people, and the environment.
1. Public Image
- The activities of an entrepreneur towards the welfare of the society
earn goodwill and reputation for the business. People prefer to buy
products of a company that engages itself in various social welfare.
programs. Again, good public image also attracts the honest and
competent employees to work with such employers.
2. Employee Satisfaction.
- Employees are the part of the society. If you satisfy their needs, then
you are doing social work.
3. Ethical Leadership.
- It is the belief that what entrepreneur does have a strong influence on
employees. If manager cheats, lies, steals, or manipulates, then they
are sending wrong signals to employees.
4. A social Entrepreneur is an individual or organization who seeks out
opportunities to improve society by using practical, innovative, and
substantial approaches.
5. Environment Management.
- Managers and Organizations can do many things to protect and
preserve the natural environment which includes plastic less business

production.
6. Consumer Awareness.
- Consumers have become very conscious about their rights. If you are
giving high quality products at cheap rate, that is kind of social
Responsibility.

Major Ethical Issues in Entrepreneurship
1. Basic Fairness
- Fairness in business refers to the value of treating people with a
standard of performance that is consistent and equal based on your
commitments. It means giving customers a fair value for their money.
2. Personnel and Customer relations
- Customer relations describes the ways that a company will engage
with its customers to improve the customer experience. It aims to
create a mutually beneficial relationship with the customer that
extends beyond the initial purchase. On the other hand, personnel
relation refers to an organization’s efforts to create and maintain a
positive relationship with its employees. By maintaining positive,

5
constructive employee relations, organizations hope to keep
employees loyal and more engaged in their work.
- Functions that customer relations includes:
a. Reactive functions – Efforts made by your team to solve issues
performed by your customer service teams.
b. Proactive functions – Measures taken to ensure a long-term
relationship with customers.
3. Fraud
- Employees and customers are just a few people who might take
advantage of your small business. Recognize types of fraud in business
and learn how to protect yourself.
a. Identity Theft - Fraudsters could steal your business’s identity and
use it to access your credit.
b. Payroll Fraud - Employees asking for pay advances without paying
back. Or employees lying about hours worked on their timesheets.
Employees could also get co-workers to clock in for them even if
they are not at work.
c. Money Fraud - Because there’s so much illegal cash, you might
come across fake bills. Money fraud can happen without you or the
customer even noticing.
d. Return Fraud - Some customers might purchase a product, use it,
then return it even though nothing is wrong with it. Or, you might
have fraudsters who steal products from you and attempt to
return them to make a profit.
e. Worker’s Compensation Fraud - As a business owner, most states
require that you purchase workers’ compensation. Workers’
compensation insurance pays your employees if they become
injured or ill at work. Employees might get injured outside of work
and say they got the injury at your business or employees could
make up an illness or injury.
4. Non-respect of agreements
- Types of agreements
a. Intellectual property (Ip) Assignment Agreement - Intellectual
Property lies in ideas, inventions, and concepts therefore it is
necessary for an entrepreneur to protect his IP. The protection of
the expression of ideas and concepts is generally through written
contracts and agreements which provide a contractual remedy for
misuse or disclosure of the idea.
b. Operating Agreement (Founders’ Agreement) - contains the duties
and liabilities of the founders.
c. Non – Disclosure Agreement - agreements which contains the
provisions protecting the information of the company from being
disclosed to any third party.
d. Employee contracts and offer letters - employment agreements
and offer letters which usually contains terms of employment
(compensation, job responsibilities, working hours and grounds for
termination etc.)
e. Shareholder Agreements - defines the rights and responsibilities of
the shareholders.
f. Commercial Leases - lease agreements for the buildings. If an
entrepreneur does not own a land, it is taken on lease. Hence it is
very important to have a lease agreement with the landlord.
g. Independent Contractor Agreement - independently hired by the
company for a particular service and for a particular period of time.
Therefore, it is essential to have a written agreement with these
contractors so that the hassles are avoided.
h. Client/Sale Agreement - define the nature of the services, the date
of commencement and end of services and most importantly
contains disclaimers regarding the services.

6
5. Environmental degradation
- The sole objective of business owners was to build a company that would
generate revenues and continuously increases profits. As environmental
issues, their impact on business and the world, and the risks to the future
of all life have become more prevalent across the globe. The effects are
being seen and the need for immediate action is now. It is the responsibility
of business owners to take a full inventory of their choices and examine
how those choices affect the environment. It is time to make modifications
where necessary. Some effects are more subtle than others, but all
modifications contribute to the greater good of our planet.
Models and Frameworks of Social Responsibility
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a self-regulating business strategy
that helps businesses to be socially responsible and being accountable to their
stakeholders and to the public. Several CSR models have been formulated over the
years. The purpose of these models is to design and execute the CSR process and
to enable its monitoring and control. Businesses by implementing CSR models in
their operations increase their adaptability to internal and external changes in the
environment. This helps to promote positive changes and bringing about progress
in socio-economic parameters. CSR benefits people and entities with few or no
resources (Ivesha, 2008).
1. Caroll’s Pyramid CSR Model
The major focus of the model is to embrace the complete spectrum
of expectations that society has from a business, defining them and
dividing them into different categories. The model can be represented with
the help of diagram-1 shown below.
As shown in the above figure, there are four kinds of social
responsibilities that cohesively constitute the concept of CSR.
a) Economic Responsibility - the responsibility of the business to
be profitable.
b) Legal Responsibility - businesses must comply with the law and
regulations.
c) Ethical Responsibility - companies have a responsibility to act
ethically and morally and to choose the action that causes the
least, if any, harm,
d) Philanthropic Responsibility - the idea that businesses should
give back, either in time, money, or goods, to the community
in which they serve.
2. Intersecting Circle (IC) CSR Model
The IC model refutes the notion that CSR is just a collection of
contingent and externally related topics. Rather, the model states that
different responsibilities are in dynamic interplay with each other. It is the

7
responsibility of the corporates to maintain harmony and resolve the
conflicts between different responsibilities. The main idea of the model is
that no responsibility is more important than the other. Rather everything
is a social creation and the existence of everything depends on the
willingness of the society to support them (Ma, 2012).
The major point of
differentiation between
the two models is that:
✓ it recognizes that
there is a possibility of
interrelationships
between the different
domains of CSR and
second and,
✓ it rejects the
hierarchical order of
importance.
3. The Concentric Circle CSR Model
In contrast to the Pyramid model and IC model, the CON model
states non-economic social responsibilities are the one that embraces
core economic responsibilities.
• The inner circle represents the core responsibilities of the business in terms
of CSR. This basically includes responsibilities that focus on the efficient
execution of economic functions such as products, jobs, and economic
growth.
• The second circle represents the legal responsibilities that involve
cooperating with the government on the part of the businesses.
• The intermediate circle which is the ethical circle includes responsibilities
that help to exercise economic functions but with a sensitive awareness of
ethical norms as well as values and priorities.
• The outer circle that represents the philanthropic circle focuses on newly
emerging responsibilities that the business should focus on in order to
become more broadly involved in social responsibilities.

Business Beyond Profit Motivation
Overview:
A business must have reason to exist beyond that of making money and
maximizing shareholder value. Profit cannot be the goal, vision, or the purpose of
an organization. An organization that posts great year end results does not
automatically earn the title of being a great company.
Seeking profit as a primary business purpose is like building a house of
cards or building a house on sand – it will eventually lead to collapse (ably
demonstrated by many financial institutions over the previous months). Profit is
too temporary to guide a business by.
6 good reasons not to use profit as your primary purpose:
• Profit is an output and a symptom of success, not the cause.
• Profit is temporary and can be wiped out in an instant.
• In tough times, profit can be hard to come by.
• You need more purpose than profit to make it through.
• Profit does not motivate the salaried staff who make success happen.
• Customers do not appreciate being seen just for their revenue.
• Consumers are increasingly focusing on values and contribution to society
when choosing who to do business with.
Beyond Profit
A true vision for a business rests on foundations of both purpose and values. The
people within the business have to be passionate about what they do and why they
do it. The business’ goals must then align with this foundation. Without a clear
foundation, a business will never be truly strategic.
Values - A business’ core values are defined internally through a process of
introspection and discovery and are based not on the outside but on what
lies within. Core values do not change with the seasons but are deeply held
values already embedded within the DNA of an organization.
Core values held by a variety of well-known organizations include:
✓ Imagination
✓ product excellence
✓ great customer service
✓ respect for the individual
✓ quality
✓ market focus
✓ teamwork
Purpose - The core purpose of a business is also discovered by
introspection and discovery. A business’ core purpose is its most
fundamental reason for being. By stripping away the layers of what a
business does and what motivates it, any company will discover a deeper
purpose that unifies and motivates. In essence, to discover your business’
core purpose, you could ask, “Why does this business exist?”

Inclusive dates:
WEEK 12-15
At the end of this module, you are expected to:
• Identify reasons for establishing business enterprises
beyond profit.
• Prepare and implement a personal action plan to assist an
existing small business enterprise to practice ethics and
social responsibility in their business operation.

12
6 good reasons for your business to look beyond profit.
• Purpose and values motivate and unify management and staff.
• Purpose and values give a company a solid foundation from which to make
decisions.
• Purpose and values provide a navigational compass to all elements of the
business.
• Customers will have more to buy into and engage with.
• Purpose and values encourage loyalty of both staff and customers.
• Purpose and values encourage a strong culture and ethos within a
business.
Social Enterprise
A social enterprise or social business is defined as a business that has
specific social objectives that serve its primary purpose. Social enterprises seek to
maximize profits while maximizing benefits to society and the environment. Their
profits are principally used to fund social programs. Social enterprises are revenue-
generating businesses with a twist. Whether operated by a non-profit organization
or by a for-profit company, a social enterprise has two goals: to achieve social,
cultural, community economic and/or environmental outcomes; and, to earn
revenue.
On the surface, many social enterprises look, feel, and even operate like
traditional businesses. But looking more deeply, one discovers the defining
characteristics of the social enterprise: mission is at the center of business, with
income generation playing an important supporting role. To sum things up:
• A social enterprise is a business with social objectives that serve its primary
purpose.
• Maximizing profits is not the primary goal of a social enterprise as is with a
traditional business.
• Unlike a charity, social enterprises pursue endeavors that generate
revenues, which fund their social causes.
• Regarding employment, preference is given to jobseekers from at-risk
communities.
Social Enterprise vs. Social Entrepreneurship
A social enterprise is not to be confused with social entrepreneurship,
which tends to focus on individuals who develop solutions to social and
environmental problems using existing business techniques and strategies. Social
entrepreneurs seek innovative ways and operate to drive change, whereas social
enterprises form to fulfill a business purpose and solve societal needs through their
commercial activities.
Sustainable Local and Regional Development in the Social Economy
Sustainability contains three main aspects: the economy, the environment,
and society.
1. Economic perspective - sustainability is the provision of goods and services for
human needs while minimizing environmental damage. Sustainability in the
economic perspective covers all production processes, consumption, and
distribution. In the environmental perspective, sustainability indicates maintaining
the natural mechanism.
2. Environmental perspective - means that the diversity of species is conserved,
the natural resources are maintained for biological systems, and the natural and
human society have self-cleansing properties. In the societal perspective,
sustainability aims to preserve the universal values of liberty, peace, and equity. It
makes human societies sound and healthy.
3. Sustainability in society - aims to eradicate unequal social structure, improve
redistribution of income, promote equality of opportunity, and provide
consideration to socially disadvantaged people.
Social Enterprise in the Philippines
According to a 2015 report by the British Council, social enterprise in the
Philippines is vibrant and growing, and in years to come, will have a much wider
presence and impact.
More than a quarter of the 107 million population live below the poverty,
the country’s strong entrepreneurial culture that includes one million Medium and
Small enterprise, account for 99% of all businesses. According to a survey in 2007
