Corporate responsibility is an emerging issue and trend in organizational behavior. It is termed as an emerging issue because previously, many organizations did not take part in any corporate responsibility activities. However, it increasingly became clear that to remain successful and expand their businesses further, organizations needed to take part in corporate responsibility activities. They have to enhance their image among their clients and the wider public at large so as to be seen as responsible corporates. Corporates do this by undertaking activities which though not directly related to their core business, they nevertheless had a net positive impact ...

LITERATURE REVIEW

Although the concept of corporate governance has been in practice for several decades, it gained worldwide popularity and significance since the collapse of a number of corporate giants and bank chains in the United States in the early 2000s.

As Solms and Solms point out, corporate governance could be defined as “the set of processes, customs, policies, laws, and institutions affecting the way a corporation (or company) is directed, administered or controlled” (Solms & Solms, 2008, p.2). In the current business ...

It’s Application to Corporate Governance in the 21st Century.

Corporate governance has been defined differently by various authors. According to Turbull (1997, p.1), “corporate governance describes all the influences that govern the institutional processes, including those for controlling and regulators, involved in the production and sale of goods and services”. As such, this definition indicates that corporate governance encompasses all types of firms (Donaldson, & Preston, 1995). Another school of thought has suggested that the system to govern companies, which entails controlling and directing the activities of those companies, is what constitutes corporate governance (Cohen, 1995). In essence, this system includes the market mechanisms, as well as regulatory frameworks ...

Sony Corporation started planning in 2003 for some big personnel changes, all the way to the top. Their stock had hit a high point in 2001 and was steadily dropping and they decided it was time for changes. By 2003 they were in trouble.

Introduction

Corporate governance has picked up a much higher profile in the recent two decades. This has been attributed to the rise of different corporate embarrassments and collapses.

This view is supported by Sir Adrian Cadbury: 'The broadest method for categorizing corporate governance is to say that the proceeded presence of organizations is dependent upon an inferred knowledge between ...

Benefits and Dangers of Corporate Social Responsibility

Over the years, corporate social responsibility has become a core issue in the business fields and more so in business reporting. It takes a very broad definition and according to David et al. (2008, pp. 10) it involves the relationship between international companies, the government of countries and the respective citizens. It is specifically concerned with the relationship between a company and the surrounding or local community in which the business is established. Furthermore, corporate social responsibility is concerned with the relationship between the company and all its stakeholders.
Zairi, (2000, pp173), broadens this perspective by outlining that corporate ...

ABSTRACT

As engines of wealth creation, businesses have long been viewed as entities that must operate free of ethical standards of social responsibility. Many, including economist Milton Friedman, have contended that the well-being of America’s corporate/financial edifice depends on unfettered corporate interests, manned by employees whose only requirement is that they must obey the letter of the law. However, events of recent years, during which corporate and financial malfeasance has contributed to the nation’s current economic malaise, have reopened the debate over the role of business ethics.
