However, they are all by one goal: to improve the world, he was joined by environmental or social progress. Despite the altruistic goals, social entrepreneurs are just as motivated and ambitious people to provide traditional business in innovative solutions.

Success Stories Social Entrepreneurship, rich like Wendy Kopp, who began Teach for America, a movement very successful educational inequality in the nation by eliminating the most promising college graduates communities with low income to teach.

In addition, a good business plan, operational details, financial projections and magic formulas, how to measure performance and adjust course accordingly. 3 Without a doubt, the greatest challenge, a social entrepreneur faces is finding the financial resources needed to start a new business and maintain .

What is Corporate Social Responsibilty?

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

What is social responsibility?

introduction.

Would you believe if I tell you that if the Nobel laureate Milton Friedman (1962) as opposed to the underlying premise of corporate social Responisibilty and feel that is the sole responsibility of enterprises profit maximization.

He wrote in his book “Capitalism and Freedom, this statement:

“The object was to gain widespread acceptance that corporate officials … … have a social responsibility, which shows the interest of their shareholders will …. This review is a misunderstanding fundamental about the nature and the nature of a free economy, there is one and only one social responsibility of business – to use its resources and activities that its profits as it stays within the rules of the game increases. “< / P>

This statement is a narrow view and selfish company.

It implies that the social responsibility of managers is to get as much money as possible for shareholders. ” This view reflects the character and essence of a free economy.

This view is supported by the argument that is often used in a free economy, “let the market decide” defended.

the issue of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been the growing concern of the economy in recent years. For example, says Lord Sieff, former chairman of Marks & Spencer plc, the companies are a contribution to society as a whole, if it is efficient, profitable and socially responsible (Cannon, 1992). Companies such as Johnson & Johnson also believe it is the responsibility of a company, to be fair, honest, reliable and respectful relations with all its components (Johnson & Johnson, 2000).

Volkswagen

defines CSR as a business capacity to assume their responsibilities in society, to develop solutions to economic and social problems. These positions indicate that CSR is still a major concern for companies in the world. CSR has also served as an ongoing commitment to corporate ethics and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life seen workers and their families.

At the time

changed? Why the views of managers today have changed drastically in the narrow vision of the classical school?

Tiger Woods, the legendary golfer the world number one, Hugh has invested large sums of money setting up training courses and education for young people today. It does not selfishly keep its huge profits, while its future profitability may be reported to grow even more explosive. Other leading athletes and women attended and are busy coming on risk socially desirable for people less fortunate.

Although CSR has

most public attention in developed countries received, CSR is also a major concern in recent years in Malaysia, where several NGOs such as’ Sahabat Alam Malaysia Association, Federation of Consumers in Malaysia and the Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) and many others have raised questions relating to environmental pollution, health threats, products, product safety, discrimination against disabled and drug abuse (Abdul Rashid, 2002). These questions have been raised the attention of government and legislation introduced to prevent the problems come from the hand.

For example, the Environmental Quality Act was introduced in 1974 to enforce laws to fight against the problems of environmental safety and pollution (Abdullah, 1991). Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been made mandatory for construction companies before permission to build new houses have been / real estate sectors (Teoh and Thong, 1996). various laws dealing with drug abuse have also been introduced by the Ministry of Health, to reduce the distribution and supply of drugs have potential side effects (Abdullah, 1991).

CSR concepts and

In 1960, Keith Davis described as a social responsibility “of decisions and actions based at least in part, directly outside the organization for technical or economic interests have been taken. In 1971, the Committee for Economic Development made the following statement on corporate social responsibility:

“Today, it is clear that the terms of the contract between society and the economy are indeed significant developments and important points. Business is asked to assume greater responsibility for society, than ever before, and a broader spectrum of human values called to serve. companies, behind, in fact, over the quality of American life, contribute to the mere provision of quantities of goods and services. “

Since then, the issue of CSR is that which has been widely discussed. There are those, like Milton Friedman (1962), who opposed the underlying assumption of CSR and the feeling is the sole responsibility of businesses to maximize profit. On the other hard, Frederick William C. (1960), the resources available to the company feels should be “used for purposes of society, not just the narrow interests of individuals and businesses.

also presented in 1991 Edward R. Freeman and Jeanne Liedtke seven reasons why the notion of social responsibility is often abandoned. One reason:

corporate social responsibility promotes incompetence by managers to involve them in areas outside their expertise – that is, repair of social ills.

We

the question of whether companies are able to address social ills through the analysis of business decisions and impacts of an organization that has received much publicity for its alleged social responsibility.

approaches

school but focuses on the micro level analysis of how individual companies might be more responsible towards society. Robert Ackerman, in his model suggests that the answer should be the goal of social enterprise. He described three stages: 1) at the executive level, 2) personnel specialists, and 3) field lines passing through the business owners who tend to develop a response to social issues (Stoner et al ., 1995).

Carroll suggests in his model into four parts by the length of the bars that are the primary responsibility for economic development and legal. It must produce the goods and / or services that society wants and legally and they must sell at a profit. But he has commitments ethical and discretionary. Carroll said that if companies fail to recognize its own initiative or ethical responsibility, the Company is to maintain and bring them into the legal framework (Carroll and Buchholtz, 2003). Before that happens, it is advisable for companies to understand and facilitate social activities on a voluntary basis.

researchers from other schools of thought address the macro level of analysis. They prefer that the government, not individual companies must establish and reach a land of social goals. Friedman’s case was based on two central arguments of the economy and other legal issues. From an economic standpoint, he said that if project managers spend corporate funds do not seek to maximize profits, the efficiency of the market mechanism is compromised and resources are unevenly distributed within the economy. In legal terms, Friedman said, because managers are the representatives of the shareholders, their only obligation, financial performance so as to maximize it.

So they

corporate resources for social spending, are essentially the theft of shareholders (Friedman, 1962). Levitt argued against fear CSR that companies could begin to dominate society. He estimated that the company is also an institution of the twentieth century, the medieval Church, embracing the institution in the society (Levitt, 1958) has become.

Both approaches have been

explained above, are very common in the world and the industrial scenario in Malaysia. The next chapter is a detail on the current scenario, it is the attitude of the Government and Malaysian companies to CSR.

Researchers

that investigation Abdul Rashid, MZ (2002) suggests there are more positive attitudes towards CSR in the financial sector in telecommunications, manufacturing or construction industry. The financial sector should be more careful and more aware of the role of banks in CSR. Abdullah (2001) in its report stated that the differences between sectors on their priorities in terms of CSR activities.

Finally

Malaysian leaders and managers had a positive attitude towards CSR. The extent of their involvement in CSR was lower today, the extent of corporate disclosure on CSR has been a bit higher than a decade ago. The level of awareness of CSR seems to have improved somewhat in Malaysia.

KFC

Towards CSR

underlying values of the target audience for KFC have changed, even if it was the world’s leading brand for over three decades (Cannon, 2002) can no longer be solely on the convenience and consistency Product as a unique selling points. KFC management clearly understands that a strong corporate culture must be integrated focus on consumer health, quality initiatives and socially responsible. The new campaigns or new product lines, are not sufficient to maintain and attract new customers, KFC needs to redefine its value to the brand.

Goyder (1981), “The industry in the period ahead will not be considered more as a private arrangement to enrich the shareholders. It became a joint venture in which workers, management, consumers, the village, government officials and union all play a role. “As the main users of the nature of society and the environment, companies can play an important role in protecting nature and environment and promote social objectives.

To achieve these objectives

KFC is working in partnership with the government, or to possess. For example, it must define a “CSR Department of Management and implementation of their CSR activities including corporate governance, according to law, business ethics, established in Internal Control environmental management and corporate citizenship.

benefits of KFC profits are donated to the population, major philanthropic foundations and other activities; Figure 1 shows the details of the KFC profitability and expenditure.

analysis of CSR activities of KFC KFC shows that doing what is just being a good neighbor, a good corporate citizen, committed and a good employer in each community in which we live and work. And they have a proven track record of listening to customers and responding with innovative ideas to customers with new needs.

Conclusion

increase the market power of the retail world of fast food and high visibility with the KFC brand, it has a target for the two government campaigns in the public interest ( example, the Food Standards Agency to promote healthy nutrition), and for citizens ‘Consumers and advocacy groups (such as the Consumers’ Association). In the coming years, as corporate responsibility, business ethics and corporate communication of relevant information centers are increasingly important interest.

Moreover, diversification and adoption of mutually reinforcing policies, companies need new measures of performance, new ethical standards and a new awareness of several lines below, rather than just profits they grow in the past. You need more lines below – for information, social, ecological and ethical – interconnected and must focus each other. Therefore, companies should consider a high value on ethical issues in carrying out their role, because if ethics are missing, the economy and society would not flourish as a whole.

In fulfilling this responsibility, social enterprise projects should be careful and make sure you choose which ensures a sustained commitment and quality to them. Clutterbuck has followed a systematic approach to manage the activities as proposed. A company must first test its resources and capabilities so that they add real value to its activities. This means Set practical goals clear and achievable. Because the program’s main objective is to identify clearly not supporting something. Have fixed budget for specific programs. Appoint specialists and other staff for the organization and implementation of aid. Install a system for the evaluation report, feedback and change. Re information received from these activities to be updated at regular intervals. Besides
