A chapter in Corporate Digital Responsibility, 2026, pp 111-131 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides a structured overview of the evolving literature on Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR), tracing its developments from early normative theorizing to contemporary efforts at practical operationalization. It explores how CDR initially emerged from pressing industrial concerns about digitality and ethics, before gaining traction across multiple academic disciplines. While still a relatively young field, CDR is rooted in established research, particularly in computer ethics and corporate responsibility, to which this chapter maps relevant interrelations. Key scholarly contributions are highlighted, including definitional work, the identification of core dimensions, and the development of models for organizational integration. In doing so, the chapter offers both scholars and practitioners an accessible entry point into the fragmented but rapidly expanding field of CDR.
