Last modified: 2015-09-10
Abstract
How do businesses give back to society? All inter-organizational relationship research includes two key frames: “a set of dimensions describing the organizations and a set of dimensions describing the nature of relationships through which they are linked†(Cropper et al., 2008, p. 9). Several scholars have developed models and theories addressing the relationship between business and society (Carroll & Buchholtz, 2008; Cone, 2014; Edwards, 2008; Frishkoff & Kostecka, 1991; Garriga & Melé, 2004; Johnson, 2011; Munilla & Miles, 2005; Saiia, 1999; Saul, 2011; Sethi, 1975; Stangis, 2007; Waddock, 2004; Young & Burlingame, 1996). This presentation reviews the depths and range of how businesses engage as corporate citizens at various levels in society.
