Chapter 1 in Responsible Organizations in the Global Context, 2019, pp 1-17 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Within the large, heterogeneous body of studies on management and organization, the question of responsibility linked to company actions has been approached more or less explicitly. Over time, too, the sensitivity to the theme of organizational responsibility has largely evolved. While it is not a new trend, a number of authors have long emphasized the relationship between responsibility, organizations, and management. Such considerations seem even more crucial in this era of profound uncertainty, large-scale globalization, and somewhat contradictory expectations regarding the social, economic, environmental and political responsibilities of major corporations. This chapter examines some challenging questions regarding ethics, big data, inclusion, and their implications for the activity of private, public, and not-for-profit organizations in the current global context. It provides key aspects for a tentative definition of responsible organizations and introduces the main ideas of the book.
