Social responsibility
Advertisements
Solution
- Social responsibility in business means that the management has a duty to safeguard the interests of society. A business cannot function in isolation; it depends on society, and society, in turn, relies on business. Since various sections of society play a role in a business's success, the business has a duty to give back and contribute to social well-being.
- As per Keith Davis, social responsibility involves business decisions and actions that go beyond just achieving economic and technical goals, reflecting the broader obligations of business toward society.
