    Study Notes

    Social Responsibility Models and Frameworks

    • The Carroll's Pyramid CSR model consists of four kinds of social responsibilities: economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic.
      • Economic responsibility is the most basic responsibility, representing the bottom of the pyramid.
      • Legal responsibility comes next, followed by ethical responsibilities, and finally philanthropic responsibilities at the top of the pyramid.
    • The Intersecting Circle (IC) CSR model recognizes interrelationships between different domains of CSR and rejects the hierarchical order of importance.
      • It includes all possible domains of CSR, depicting the interrelationships between different domains.
      • No responsibility is considered more important than the other, and harmony must be maintained among different responsibilities.
    • The Concentric Circle CSR model shares similarities with Carroll's Pyramid and IC models, including economic responsibility as a core social responsibility.
      • It emphasizes interrelationships among different responsibilities, but differs from the IC model in other aspects.
