CSR: A Multidisciplinary CONCEPT

Increasing impact of the global corporations in all aspects of social life and in the environment has been the catalyst in the emergence of a new diversity of stakeholders demanding accountability about the impact of corporate activity in the life of the planet.  Thus, these significant waves of increased awareness almost through the second phase of twentieth century down to the twenty first century triggered the emergence of concept called CSR. The philosophy behind the CSR is indebted to many other disciplines. This book deals with CSR’s relation to a few other disciplines like sociology, management, economics, ethics, spirituality, philosophy etc. and how CSR binds almost all other concerned disciplines together to work for the betterment of the society.
