A chapter in Current Global Practices of Corporate Social Responsibility, 2021, pp 667-685 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter offers a review of literature on corporate social responsibility in the United States of America and provides examples of institutional and strategic CSR practices. The review examines corporate social responsibility definitions as well as definitions of corporate social responsibility reporting. The review and the discussion highlight that American CSR is a two faceted construct. On one hand it is an informal mechanism for the control of business; on the on hand, it is a mainstream business practice that corporations use to enhance their competitiveness and further their interests.
