WSJ Executive Adviser (A Special Report): The
Case Against Corporate Social Responsibility:
The idea that companies have a duty to address
social ills is not just flawed, argues Aneel
Karnani; It also makes it more likely that we'll
ignore the real solutions to these problems

ABSTRACT
[...] the fact is that while companies sometimes can do well by doing good, more often they can't. Because in most
cases, doing what's best for society means sacrificing profits.
FULL TEXT
Can companies do well by doing good? Yes -- sometimes.
But the idea that companies have a responsibility to act in the public interest and will profit from doing so is
fundamentally flawed.
Large companies now routinely claim that they aren't in business just for the profits, that they're also intent on
serving some larger social purpose. They trumpet their efforts to produce healthier foods or more fuel-efficient
vehicles, conserve energy and other resources in their operations, or otherwise make the world a better place.
Influential institutions like the Academy of Management and the United Nations, among many others, encourage
companies to pursue such strategies.
It's not surprising that this idea has won over so many people -- it's a very appealing proposition. You can have
your cake and eat it too!
But it's an illusion, and a potentially dangerous one.
Very simply, in cases where private profits and public interests are aligned, the idea of corporate social
responsibility is irrelevant: Companies that simply do everything they can to boost profits will end up increasing
social welfare. In circumstances in which profits and social welfare are in direct opposition, an appeal to corporate
social responsibility will almost always be ineffective, because executives are unlikely to act voluntarily in the
public interest and against shareholder interests.
Irrelevant or ineffective, take your pick. But it's worse than that. The danger is that a focus on social responsibility
will delay or discourage more-effective measures to enhance social welfare in those cases where profits and the
public good are at odds. As society looks to companies to address these problems, the real solutions may be
ignored.

To get a better fix on the irrelevance or ineffectiveness of corporate social responsibility efforts, let's first look at
situations where profits and social welfare are in synch.
Consider the market for healthier food. Fast-food outlets have profited by expanding their offerings to include
salads and other options designed to appeal to health-conscious consu ...

Preface:
The long run average cost curve displays that the cost per unit for a firm moves in a U shaped curve with costs per unit starting at a higher point with lower output and gradually moving downward as output increases, giving the firm economies of scale as it moves down the curve, with cost per unit slowly rising after output rises past the constant average cost portion of the curve, giving the firm diseconomies of scale due to the fact that as output increases new machinery, managers, and workers need to be employed to handle the increase in size of the firm, which adds layers of bureaucracy and complexity that makes the firm less efficient.
Economic logic would dictate as firms experience diseconomies of scale they would lose market share and be forced to downsize or go out of business from nimbler and more efficient firms with lower prices. You can see this happen in a wide variety of examples, case in point, General Motors, which lost market share to its much more efficient Japanese counterpart Toyota.
But strangely, the big banks in the United States, one could argue that they are so large and are currently experiencing diseconomies of scale--as evidenced by their failure to properly see that there practices during the housing bubble would lead to their demise. In fact, one could argue that because the big banks are even larger now due to consolidation during the financial crisis, that they are even less efficient than before. Presented is a graph to help you visualize the long run average cost curve, which is also in chapter 7 of the textbook.
Assignment:
Write at least three paragraphs about why you think that the diseconomies of scale present in the large banks has not lead to smaller and more nimbler banks to gain market share and force the banks to divest and become smaller. The paper should be a minimum half a page with single spacing. Remember there are multiple right answers.
Hint: Look into lobbying efforts by the banks (rent-seeking), lower interest rates when big banks borrow versus community banks, government support, etc.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) refers to companies operating in a manner that is ethical, legal, and beneficial to society. While companies' main responsibility was traditionally maximizing profits, CSR recognizes that companies impact communities and the environment and have broader obligations. CSR includes practices like respecting human rights, protecting the environment, contributing to local communities, and ensuring ethical business practices. Companies benefit from CSR by improving relationships with stakeholders, managing risks and reputation, and attracting skilled employees and consumer loyalty.
The document discusses the concept of social responsibility. It defines social responsibility as a company embracing its obligations to society beyond maximizing profits. It discusses how social responsibility involves considering legal, ethical, moral and social impacts of business decisions. It also highlights how social responsibility projects can benefit society and impact corporations.
This document summarizes an academic article published in the European Journal of Business and Management that discusses different views on corporate social responsibility. The article provides an introduction to CSR and outlines two main schools of thought - the classical economic view that a company's sole responsibility is to maximize profits, and the stakeholder view that companies have a responsibility to consider interests beyond just shareholders. The article then reviews various perspectives from literature on this topic, including instrumental theories that see CSR as a strategic tool for profits, and normative theories that see CSR as an ethical obligation. It concludes that contemporary organizations see CSR as an ethical approach that can provide both community and company benefits despite sometimes being criticized as just a marketing tactic.
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) refers to a company's obligation to consider the interests of customers, employees, shareholders, communities, and the environment in its business decisions and activities. CSR involves voluntary actions that businesses take to support social and environmental goals. It goes beyond legal compliance to promote the public interest through community development, ethical practices, and environmental stewardship. CSR has become a global concept where companies consider the impact of their activities on various stakeholders. Firms recognize that acting responsibly can create value for their business and employees feel proud to work for a socially committed company.

interests
Solution
Although the activity of social responsibility is benefit for both social and business
organizational, the arguments for and against business social responsibility exist. There are
several reasons of agreement of the activity.
1 Best Interest of Business to Promote and Improve the Communities
Organizations, as members of society, have a moral obligation to help society deal with its
problems and to contribute to its welfare. It is the ethical thing to do by the business
organizations. A measurement should be made of whether the organization is performing such
activities as producing goods and services that people need, creating jobs for society, paying fair
wages, and ensuring worker safety.
People and organizations need each other. Social responsibility to employees extend beyond
terms and conditions of the formal contract of employment and give recognition to the workers
as a human being. People today have wider expectations of the quality of working life, included
justice is treatment, opportunities for consultation and participation, training in new skill and
technologies, effective personal and industrial relations policies, and provision of social and
leisure facilities. Organization should be, for example, give due consideration to the design of
work organization and job satisfaction, make very reasonable effort to give security of
employment, and provide employment opportunities for minority groups.
A number of leading companies have taken steps to develop more ethical cultures and system by
involving individual employees in corporate affairs. To provide or support some benefits to the
workers will lead to a good communities in the business organizations. Good communication in
the internal business would be leads to avoid miss understanding of each other. The workers
would then enjoy their work and work out more efficiency. The quality of goods and services of
the organization therefore increase. This will lead to profitable to the organization\'s business.
Therefore, the social responsibility is important in internal environment of the business too.
2 Improves Public Image of the Firm
To many people, responsibilities to consumers may be seen as no more than a natural outcome of
good business. There are, however, broader social responsibilities including providing good
value for money; the safety and durability of products or services; standard of after-sales service;
prompt and courteous attention to queries and complaints; long-term satisfaction, for example
serviceability, adequate supply of products or services, and spare and replacement parts; fair
standards of advertising and trading; full and unambiguous information to potential customers.
Increasing concern for social responsibilities to consumers can be seen by the activiti.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) involves businesses self-regulating their activities to ensure they comply with ethical standards and consider impacts on stakeholders.

Here are the key points I gathered from the document:
- Corporate social responsibility (CSR) refers to a company's obligation to consider the interests of society and take responsibility for its impact on stakeholders such as customers, employees, investors, communities, and the environment.
- CSR goes beyond legal compliance and involves voluntary activities that improve societal well-being. It is about how a company manages its economic, social, and environmental effects as well as its relationships with stakeholders.
- While CSR can help build goodwill and a positive brand image over time, some companies see it as too costly or slow to generate benefits. Implementing CSR activities also requires time and resources which could impact short-term profits.

The document discusses the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its role in creating "true brands" that contribute to long-term sustainability. It argues that CSR needs to move beyond discrete practices to become integrated throughout business operations. When CSR addresses the expectations of all stakeholders, including employees, society, customers and the environment, it can help transform companies into true brands that add value for everyone and move towards more sustainable economic, social and environmental models. The concept has evolved to include issues like shared value creation and ensuring corporate activities minimize negative ecological impacts.
Corporate Social Responsibility an alternate route towards creating “true bra...Maxwell Ranasinghe
This document discusses the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its role in creating "true brands" that contribute to long-term sustainability. It argues that CSR needs to move from the periphery to the core of business operations and decision-making. For CSR to be effective, leadership must embrace a stakeholder approach and view sustainability as integral to business effectiveness. When companies transform through expanded CSR that creates shared value for all stakeholders, they can become "true brands" that help address global economic, social and environmental challenges.
The document summarizes key aspects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) including:
- The meaning and definitions of CSR, how it has evolved from voluntary to mandatory practices.
- The objectives of CSR which include embracing responsibility, maximizing societal impact, and giving back to communities.
- Benefits of CSR for businesses such as increased employee engagement, improved brand perception, and enabling better customer engagement.
- New amendments to CSR rules in India including clarifying eligible CSR activities and treatment of unspent/excess CSR funds which must be transferred to specified funds.
The document discusses whether corporate social responsibility (CSR) is effective. It notes that while CSR aims to improve society, some argue it is mainly for public relations purposes. The document examines CSR programs by Coca-Cola and Shell that aim to help communities. However, critics argue CSR reports do not always provide full transparency and CSR may not address the root problems companies contribute to. Overall, the document analyzes differing perspectives on the impacts and motivations of CSR activities.
The document discusses the concept of corporate social responsibility. It defines social responsibility as businesses balancing economic growth with benefitting society and the environment. It notes that socially responsible businesses consider both economic and social impacts of decisions. They also forgo some profitable opportunities if they are socially unacceptable. The document lists guidelines for social responsibility and responsibilities towards different stakeholder groups like shareholders, employees, customers, and the community. It emphasizes that while pursuing social goals, businesses must ensure profitability and operate within their competencies. The last section discusses responsibilities of businesses in India like raising living standards, creating jobs, protecting the environment, and contributing to development.

- Corporate social responsibility (CSR) refers to a company's obligation to consider the interests of society and take responsibility for its impact on stakeholders such as customers, employees, investors, communities, and the environment.
- CSR goes beyond legal compliance and involves voluntary activities that improve societal well-being. It is about how a company manages its economic, social, and environmental effects as well as its relationships with stakeholders.
- While CSR can help build goodwill and a positive brand image over time, some companies see it as too costly or slow to generate benefits. Implementing CSR activities also requires time and resources which could impact short-term profits.

The document discusses the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its role in creating "true brands" that contribute to long-term sustainability. It argues that CSR needs to move beyond discrete practices to become integrated throughout business operations. When CSR addresses the expectations of all stakeholders, including employees, society, customers and the environment, it can help transform companies into true brands that add value for everyone and move towards more sustainable economic, social and environmental models. The concept has evolved to include issues like shared value creation and ensuring corporate activities minimize negative ecological impacts.
Corporate Social Responsibility an alternate route towards creating “true bra...Maxwell Ranasinghe
This document discusses the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its role in creating "true brands" that contribute to long-term sustainability. It argues that CSR needs to move from the periphery to the core of business operations and decision-making. For CSR to be effective, leadership must embrace a stakeholder approach and view sustainability as integral to business effectiveness. When companies transform through expanded CSR that creates shared value for all stakeholders, they can become "true brands" that help address global economic, social and environmental challenges.
The document summarizes key aspects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) including:
- The meaning and definitions of CSR, how it has evolved from voluntary to mandatory practices.
- The objectives of CSR which include embracing responsibility, maximizing societal impact, and giving back to communities.
- Benefits of CSR for businesses such as increased employee engagement, improved brand perception, and enabling better customer engagement.
- New amendments to CSR rules in India including clarifying eligible CSR activities and treatment of unspent/excess CSR funds which must be transferred to specified funds.
The document discusses whether corporate social responsibility (CSR) is effective. It notes that while CSR aims to improve society, some argue it is mainly for public relations purposes. The document examines CSR programs by Coca-Cola and Shell that aim to help communities. However, critics argue CSR reports do not always provide full transparency and CSR may not address the root problems companies contribute to. Overall, the document analyzes differing perspectives on the impacts and motivations of CSR activities.
The document discusses the concept of corporate social responsibility. It defines social responsibility as businesses balancing economic growth with benefitting society and the environment. It notes that socially responsible businesses consider both economic and social impacts of decisions. They also forgo some profitable opportunities if they are socially unacceptable. The document lists guidelines for social responsibility and responsibilities towards different stakeholder groups like shareholders, employees, customers, and the community. It emphasizes that while pursuing social goals, businesses must ensure profitability and operate within their competencies. The last section discusses responsibilities of businesses in India like raising living standards, creating jobs, protecting the environment, and contributing to development.
Social resposibility and business ethics made by studentMamta Narula
The document discusses the concept of social responsibility of businesses. It states that businesses have an obligation to make decisions and take actions that are desirable to society's objectives and values. While profit is important, businesses should also aim to fulfill societal expectations and contribute to achieving social aspirations. The document then discusses arguments for and against businesses taking on social responsibilities.

Pennsylvania v. Mark
Mark Davis has been
charged
with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) for reckless driving, speeding, four counts of felony assault, and one count of involuntary manslaughter as the result of a crash that occurred on a night out with his friends. Mark has been out on bail and pleaded not guilty when he was arraigned. The Judge set a date for Mark's trial and his defense team has been working to collect information about the technology used by the Highway Patrol to reconstruct the crash.
District Attorney O'Malley offered Mark a plea bargain, but Mark chose to take his chances at trial. Mark's attorney, Mr. Chen Long, advised Mark that accepting the plea offer was completely up to Mark, although Mr. Long advised against accepting it because the defense planned to highlight mistakes made by law enforcement during the investigation that could create reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors.
The trial begins and during the voir dire of potential jurors, several individuals are excused because they have previous knowledge of Mark's case from the media. Two individuals stated that they could not be impartial because they had loved ones
killed
in alcohol related crashes as well. Eventually, two men and ten women were seated in Mark's trial.
District Attorney O'Malley presented the State's case clearly and concisely depicting a night on the town full of heavy drinking, which ultimately resulted in Mark's actions causing the death of one individual and injuring four others. Highway Patrolman Green explained to the jury that he immediately suspected alcohol when he arrived on scene because Mark appeared to be intoxicated when they spoke. Following the Judge ruling that it was admissible and not prejudicial, Sergeant Rodney Monroe, from the Highway Patrol Reconstruction Team presented their reconstruction complete with a high-tech computer animated reenactment of the crash. During the cross examination, Defense Attorney Long challenged the reconstruction because the Defense Crash Reconstruction Expert had discovered errors in the mathematical calculations for vehicle speed. The jury appeared to have liked the reconstruction very much regardless of the errors highlighted by the defense.
Mark was convicted of DWI, four counts of felony assault, and one count of involuntary manslaughter; however, he was acquitted of reckless driving and speeding. The Jury said they could not convict Mark of those offenses because of the mistakes made by law enforcement officers during the investigation.
Because Mark pleads not guilty, but was convicted during trial and had two prior DWI offenses, he was sentenced to ten years in the State Prison. Defense Attorney Long immediately notified the court of an impending appeal that would be filed by the defendant. In a report, using external sources to support your claims, answer the following:

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

ABSTRACT
[...] the fact is that while companies sometimes can do well by
doing good, more often they can't. Because in most
cases, doing what's best for society means sacrificing profits.
FULL TEXT
Can companies do well by doing good? Yes -- sometimes.
But the idea that companies have a responsibility to act in the
public interest and will profit from doing so is
fundamentally flawed.
Large companies now routinely claim that they aren't in
2. business just for the profits, that they're also intent on
serving some larger social purpose. They trumpet their efforts
to produce healthier foods or more fuel-efficient
vehicles, conserve energy and other resources in their
operations, or otherwise make the world a better place.
Influential institutions like the Academy of Management and the
United Nations, among many others, encourage
companies to pursue such strategies.
It's not surprising that this idea has won over so many people --
it's a very appealing proposition. You can have
your cake and eat it too!
But it's an illusion, and a potentially dangerous one.
Very simply, in cases where private profits and public interests
are aligned, the idea of corporate social
responsibility is irrelevant: Companies that simply do
everything they can to boost profits will end up increasing
social welfare. In circumstances in which profits and social
welfare are in direct opposition, an appeal to corporate
social responsibility will almost always be ineffective, because
executives are unlikely to act voluntarily in the
public interest and against shareholder interests.
3. Irrelevant or ineffective, take your pick. But it's worse than
that. The danger is that a focus on social responsibility
will delay or discourage more-effective measures to enhance
social welfare in those cases where profits and the
public good are at odds. As society looks to companies to
address these problems, the real solutions may be
ignored.

To get a better fix on the irrelevance or ineffectiveness of
corporate social responsibility efforts, let's first look at
situations where profits and social welfare are in synch.
Consider the market for healthier food. Fast-food outlets have
profited by expanding their offerings to include
salads and other options designed to appeal to health-conscious
consumers. Other companies have found new
sources of revenue in low-fat, whole-grain and other types of
foods that have grown in popularity. Social welfare is
4. improved. Everybody wins.
Similarly, auto makers have profited from responding to
consumer demand for more fuel-efficient vehicles, a plus
for the environment. And many companies have boosted profits
while enhancing social welfare by reducing their
energy consumption and thus their costs.
But social welfare isn't the driving force behind these trends.
Healthier foods and more fuel-efficient vehicles didn't
become so common until they became profitable for their
makers. Energy conservation didn't become so
important to many companies until energy became more costly.
These companies are benefiting society while
acting in their own interests; social activists urging them to
change their ways had little impact. It is the relentless
maximization of profits, not a commitment to social
responsibility, that has proved to be a boon to the public in
these cases.
Unfortunately, not all companies take advantage of such
opportunities, and in those cases both social welfare and
profits suffer. These companies have one of two problems:
Their executives are either incompetent or are putting
5. their own interests ahead of the company's long-term financial
interests. For instance, an executive might be
averse to any risk, including the development of new products,
that might jeopardize the short-term financial
performance of the company and thereby affect his
compensation, even if taking that risk would improve the
company's longer-term prospects.
An appeal to social responsibility won't solve either of those
problems. Pressure from shareholders for sustainable
growth in profitability can. It can lead to incompetent managers
being replaced and to a realignment of incentives
for executives, so that their compensation is tied more directly
to the company's long-term success.
Still, the fact is that while companies sometimes can do well by
doing good, more often they can't. Because in
most cases, doing what's best for society means sacrificing
profits.
This is true for most of society's pervasive and persistent
problems; if it weren't, those problems would have been
solved long ago by companies seeking to maximize their profits.
A prime example is the pollution caused by
6. manufacturing. Reducing that pollution is costly to the
manufacturers, and that eats into profits. Poverty is
another obvious example. Companies could pay their workers
more and charge less for their products, but their
profits would suffer.
So now what? Should executives in these situations heed the
call for corporate social responsibility even without
the allure of profiting from it?
You can argue that they should. But you shouldn't expect that
they will.
Executives are hired to maximize profits; that is their
responsibility to their company's shareholders. Even if
executives wanted to forgo some profit to benefit society, they
could expect to lose their jobs if they tried -- and be
replaced by managers who would restore profit as the top
priority. The movement for corporate social
responsibility is in direct opposition, in such cases, to the
movement for better corporate governance, which
demands that managers fulfill their fiduciary duty to act in the
shareholders' interest or be relieved of their
7. responsibilities. That's one reason so many companies talk a
great deal about social responsibility but do nothing -
- a tactic known as greenwashing.
Managers who sacrifice profit for the common good also are in
effect imposing a tax on their shareholders and
arbitrarily deciding how that money should be spent. In that
sense they are usurping the role of elected
government officials, if only on a small scale.
Privately owned companies are a different story. If an owner-
operated business chooses to accept diminished
profit in order to enhance social welfare, that decision isn't
being imposed on shareholders. And, of course, it is
admirable and desirable for the leaders of successful public
companies to use some of their personal fortune for
charitable purposes, as many have throughout history and many
do now. But those leaders shouldn't presume to
pursue their philanthropic goals with shareholder money.
Indeed, many shareholders themselves use significant
amounts of the money they make from their investments to help
fund charities or otherwise improve social
welfare.
8. This is not to say, of course, that companies should be left free
to pursue the greatest possible profits without
regard for the social consequences. But, appeals to corporate
social responsibility are not an effective way to
strike a balance between profits and the public good.
So how can that balance best be struck?
The ultimate solution is government regulation. Its greatest
appeal is that it is binding. Government has the power
to enforce regulation. No need to rely on anyone's best
intentions.
But government regulation isn't perfect, and it can even end up
reducing public welfare because of its cost or
inefficiency. The government also may lack the resources and
competence to design and administer appropriate
regulations, particularly for complex industries requiring much
specialized knowledge. And industry groups might
find ways to influence regulation to the point where it is
ineffective or even ends up benefiting the industry at the
expense of the general population.
Outright corruption can make the situation even worse. What's
more, all the problems of government failure are
9. exacerbated in developing countries with weak and often
corrupt governments.
Still, with all their faults, governments are a far more effective
protector of the public good than any campaign for
corporate social responsibility.
Civil society also plays a role in constraining corporate
behavior that reduces social welfare, acting as a watchdog
and advocate. Various nonprofit organizations and movements
provide a voice for a wide variety of social, political,
environmental, ethnic, cultural and community interests.
The Rainforest Action Network, for example, is an organization
that agitates, often quite effectively, for
environmental protection and sustainability. Its website states,
"Our campaigns leverage public opinion and
consumer pressure to turn the public stigma of environmental
destruction into a business nightmare for any
American company that refuses to adopt responsible
environmental policies." That's quite a different approach
from trying to convince executives that they should do what's
best for society because it's the right thing to do and
10. won't hurt their bottom line.
Overall, though, such activism has a mixed track record, and it
can't be relied on as the primary mechanism for
imposing constraints on corporate behavior -- especially in most
developing countries, where civil society lacks
adequate resources to exert much influence and there is
insufficient awareness of public issues among the
population.
Self-regulation is another alternative, but it suffers from the
same drawback as the concept of corporate social
responsibility: Companies are unlikely to voluntarily act in the
public interest at the expense of shareholder
interests.
But self-regulation can be useful. It tends to promote good
practices and target specific problems within
industries, impose lower compliance costs on businesses than
government regulation, and offer quick, low-cost
dispute-resolution procedures. Self-regulation can also be more
flexible than government regulation, allowing it to
respond more effectively to changing circumstances.
11. The challenge is to design self-regulation in a manner that
emphasizes transparency and accountability,
consistent with what the public expects from government
regulation. It is up to the government to ensure that any
self-regulation meets that standard. And the government must
be prepared to step in and impose its own
regulations if the industry fails to police itself effectively.
In the end, social responsibility is a financial calculation for
executives, just like any other aspect of their business.
The only sure way to influence corporate decision making is to
impose an unacceptable cost -- regulatory
mandates, taxes, punitive fines, pubic embarrassment -- on
socially unacceptable behavior.
Pleas for corporate social responsibility will be truly embraced
only by those executives who are smart enough to
see that doing the right thing is a byproduct of their pursuit of
profit. And that renders such pleas pointless.
