Chapter Chapter 5 in Stages of Corporate Social Responsibility, 2017, pp 99-120 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter deliberates on numerous definitions of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) paradigm and its synonymous terms. The CSR phenomenon has been wrought from distinctive theories and approaches. Moreover, globalisation may have also augmented the complexities surrounding the CSR issues in many contexts. Therefore, this contribution presents a selection of relevant conceptual and empirical findings from authors hailing from different disciplines within social sciences, over the last sixty years. This chapter features several well-founded CSR perspectives which have resulted from academic debates and interdisciplinary research on social and environmental issues involving business organisations.
