Anmerkungen
Introduction
Panoramic view of the Corporate Social Responsibility is a relatively recent phenomenon both in social development and much more in corporate business culture.¹ It advances in many different ways as a counterculture in the global economy both directly and indirectly. Increasing impact of the global corporations in all aspects of social life and in the environment has been the catalyst in the emergence of a new diversity of stakeholders demanding accountability about the impact of corporate activity in the life of the planet.² Thus, these significant waves of increased awareness almost through the second phase of twentieth century down to the twenty first century triggered the emergence of concept called CSR. The philosophy behind the CSR is indebted to many other disciplines. This book deals with CSR’s relation to a few other disciplines like sociology, management, economics, ethics, spirituality, philosophy etc. and how CSR binds almost all other concerned disciplines together to work for the betterment of the society. This makes the CSR inquiry a very special one, as the powerful concepts from all these disciplines are interwoven into this research exposing the inter-disciplinary nature.
1. Inter-disciplinary Nature of CSR
Interdisciplinary nature of CSR implies that it has gloriously made use of concepts from different disciplines or across the cultures to enrich and strengthen it. In the modern terms, it could be called as ‘cross-breed.’ In general the cross-breed has to be synchronized from the best of others there by developing a ‘high-breed.’ This nature of CSR induces an overlook into other disciplines to substantiate those best concepts, that are shipped across in making CSR, as it is today. The underlying concept of CSR, that of an implied social contract, dates back to the writings of the Greek philosopher Epictetus…[and] was central to the intellectual system…in the first half of the seventeenth century.
³ CSR borrowed many concepts from other disciplines like corporate conscience, corporate citizenship, social performance, or sustainable responsible business⁴ is a form of corporate self-regulation integrated into a business model. These key terminologies help CSR functions as a built-in, self-regulating mechanism whereby business monitors and ensures its active compliance with the spirit of the law, ethical standards, and international norms. Again many of these key concepts oriented CSR with a goal to embrace responsibility for the company's actions and encourage a positive impact through its activities on the environment, consumers, employees, communities, stakeholders and all other members of the public sphere.⁵ Furthermore, CSR-focused businesses would proactively promote the public interest by encouraging community growth and development, and voluntarily eliminating practices that harm the public sphere, regardless of legality. In other words, the best concepts from the other disciplines helped CSR in the deliberate inclusion of public interest into corporate decision-making, that is the core business of the company or firm, and the honoring of a triple bottom line — people, planet,
