Corporate Social Responsibility in India (By Contribution‪)‬

CSR--Identifying the Common Denominator Any discussion on corporate social responsibility requires an understanding of the term. In addition, it is also imperative to understand as to who shall decide whether a corporate is socially responsible or not. It is interesting to note that there are innumerable definitions of CSR adding to confusion on what it constitutes. Carroll (1994:14) had termed the situation as "an eclectic field with loose boundaries, multiple memberships, differing training/perspectives and multidisciplinary." At the same time the origin of most of the existing definitions of CSR can be traced to the West. Thus the way CSR is perceived and implemented is largely guided by the West to the rest of the World.
