9 social responsibility
Gen Mgtthe approach of an organization to managing the impact it has on society. Social responsibility involves behaving within certain socially acceptable limits. These limits may not always take the form of written laws or regulations but they amount to an accepted organization-wide moral or ethical code. Organizations that transgress this code are viewed as irresponsible. In order to determine levels of social responsibility, organizations may choose to undertake a social audit or more specifically an environmental audit. Social responsibility, along with business ethics, has grown as a strategic issue as empowerment and the flat organization have pushed decision making down to a wider range of employees at the same time as green or caring consumers are becoming a more powerful market segment. -
