Business Ethics and Corporate Governance, Second Edition

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Why should corporations engage themselves in social welfare projects?
2. Would you justify the view of economists like Milton Friedman that corporations have no other responsibility other than making profits for their shareholders?
3. To what extent have Indian companies zealously espoused CSR in their activities? Will it be correct to think that whatever has been done in this area is good, but yet there is a lot more to be done in a poor and developing country like India?
4. Discuss in detail, CSR as a business strategy for sustainable development.
