To Whom is Management Responsible?
Rachna Bansal Jora, Sharda University 6
• The Classical View
–Management’s only social responsibility is to maximize profits (create a financial return) by operating the business in the best interests of the stockholders (owners of the corporation).
–Expending the firm’s resources on doing “social good” unjustifiably increases costs that lower profits to the owners and raises prices to consumers.
Rachna Bansal Jora, Sharda University 7
• The Socioeconomic View
–Management’s social responsibility goes beyond making profits to include protecting and improving society’s welfare.
– Corporations are not independent entities responsible only to stockholders.
– Firms have a moral responsibility to larger society to become involved in social, legal, and political issues.

CSR in INDIA
• CSR is not a new concept in India. Ever since their inception, corporates like the Tata Group, the Aditya Birla Group,and Indian Oil Corporation, to name a few, have been involved in serving the community. Through donations and charity events, many other organizations have been doing their part for the society.
• The basic objective of CSR in these days is to maximize the company's overall impact on the society and stakeholders. CSR policies, practices and programs are being comprehensively integrated by an increasing number of companies throughout their business operations and processes. A growing number of corporates feel that CSR is not just another form of indirect expense but is important for protecting the goodwill and reputation, defending attacks and increasing business competitiveness.
