A vivid piece of prose into Corporate Social Responsibility. Includes citations and references

Executive Summary

The following information is in relation to the issue of social responsibility within organisations. The purpose of the report is to provide a detailed analysis in regard to strengthening the concept of social responsibility amongst twenty-first-century companies along with explaining the degree of importance that social responsibility acts on the organisation internally and their community. Throughout the report several findings suggest that as today's organisations operate under tighter laws and legislation, management now regularly faces decisions that have a dimension of moral responsibility.

Finally the report recommends that firms should be seen by society to be playing an activist role in improving society by involving themselves in their community and contributing to charitable organisations.
