Objective:

1. Evaluate the relationship between social responsibility and corporate performance

Prompt: Review this article on Corporate Social Responsibility: Freeman, R.E. & J. Liedtke (1991) Corporate Social Responsibility: A Critical Approach. Business Horizons. Jul/Aug91, Vol. 34 Issue 4, retrieved fromhttp://search.ebscohost.com.ezproxy2.apus.edu/login.aspx?direct=true&db=bth&AN=9707074827&site=ehost-live&scope=site

Questions:

1. It is tempting to praise the benefits of CSR. After-all, who wouldn’t want to help the community or environment? However, what is the primary purpose of a for-profit corporation?


2. Using the concepts learned in the required readings, discuss whether a company should attempt to solve the world’s problems, while at the same time working towards a profit for the shareholders.


3. Outside research may be required to thoroughly answer questions posed.
