Answer to Question 1

Answer: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is the implied, enforced, or felt obligation of managers, acting in their official capacity, to serve or protect the interests of groups other than themselves. A company that espouses CSR behaves as if it has a conscience. Furthermore, it strives to manage the triple bottom line of social responsibility (society, environment, and economy). A CSR firm considers its overall influence on society at large and goes beyond the interests of its shareholders. Such a company will issue corporate social responsibility reports that detail its environmental, labor, and corporate-giving practices. Because social responsibility has moved from nice-to-do to must-do, a CSR company may create the position of director of corporate social responsibility.
