What to Focus On

  • A business is a part of society.

  • It applies to owners, customers, workers, government, and community.

  • Koontz and O'Donnel stress protection of others' rights.
  • Steiner stresses social aspirations and contribution to them.
  • Bowen links business action with society's objectives and values.

  • Social responsibility is fundamentally an ethical issue.
  • A major debate is between owner-centred duty and society-centred duty.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
