Study Notes

Social responsibility is an ethical theory where individuals are accountable for fulfilling civic duty, ensuring actions benefit society. A balance between economic growth and societal welfare is key.
Social responsibility encompasses both Individual Social Responsibility (ISR) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

ISR focuses on actions with community impact beyond immediate relationships. This includes neighbors, related organizations, and society at large.
Individuals are responsible for acting in ways beneficial to society and themselves.
Communities, from villages to large cities, share problems, and individuals should contribute to solutions.
Examples include participating in community cleanups or volunteering.

Classification of ISR

Economic: Responsibility towards economic issues like inequality, unemployment and pricing of goods and services.
Social: Responsibility in addressing societal challenges like elderly care, discrimination and divorce issues.
Civic: Responsibility for community activities, respecting rules and resources.
Environmental: Responsibility for environmental protection.

CSR emphasizes companies' role in fulfilling obligations to stakeholders including employees, customers, suppliers, community and the environment.
Companies should manage business processes to profit, but also have a positive societal impact.
CSR involves contributing to economic development, improving quality of life, and considering public interests.
Examples include establishing educational facilities, awarding scholarships and promoting sustainability.

CSR Classification

Responsibility towards Self: Focus on efficiency, stability and growth to maximize profits.
Responsibility towards Employees: Fair treatment, career development, and health care are key.
Responsibility towards Shareholders: Protecting investment and ensuring returns.
Responsibility towards Customers: High quality, competitive prices and ethically sourced products/services are essential.
Responsibility towards the State: Adhering to legal requirements and paying taxes.
Responsibility towards the Environment: Environmental protection, waste management, and producing eco-friendly goods are critical.

ISR vs CSR

ISR is foundational to CSR, as individuals drive corporate culture.
ISR is crucial in shaping corporate social responsibility.
A well-established understanding of ISR makes CSR more effective.

Social media is online content created via scalable technology, transforming one-to-many interactions into many-to-many dialogues. This impacts personal, political, and business relationships.
Social media ethics are essential for responsible use.
Ethical communication, respecting privacy and preventing the spread of misinformation are all crucial aspects of social media responsibility.

Appropriate use and perception of social media is key to responsible behavior.
Etiquette, transparency and authenticity are fundamental to ethical social media interaction.

Social media overuse can cause psychological issues, impacting personal relationships, work, and overall well-being.

Class Activity

Students will identify a company, categorize its CSR activities, and discuss how such strategies impact various stakeholders. The final product will be a report outlining the company's social responsibility, detailing how the company operates and detailing its efforts.
