    Abstract: Starting from the times of barter system to today’s modern era of plastic money, the mankind has trodden a remarkably long path. Undoubtedly “profitability” has always been the driving force and an undercurrent behind all this development; but as every coin has two facets; growing cut throat competition and business rivalries started taking heavy toll on the quality, transparency, environment and the society in general endangering the peaceful coexistence of business and society. The businesses houses started realizing that they would have to rise over and above the profitability and take care of all those associated with their survival in the society directly or indirectly. This realization resulted into the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). This research paper moves around developing an understanding about the corporate social responsibility (CSR), delving into its concept and finding out its scope taking the case study of the TATA Group under Mr. Ratan Tata who has exemplified the sense of responsibility towards the upliftment of common masses and protection of the environment and development of the nation.

    Conventionally, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) was defined as actions businesses take to improve society’s welfare (McWilliams and Siegel, 2011). Currently, CSR has expanded into developing new business models that honor human rights, combat societal and environmental challenges, and profit companies at the same time (“Business case for CSR”, 2013). CSR also emphasizes on engaging shareholders in decision-makings, to help better manage the company (“Business case for CSR”, 2013). While CSR is gaining popularity, especially amongst larger companies, the extent to which CSR benefits a company’s performance still remains highly contested. Although there seems to be a conflict of interest between practicing CSR and maximizing profit, a closer inspection would reveal benefits of practicing CSR in terms of enhancing companies’ performances. This essay aims to analyze how companies are impacted by their CSR practices, focusing particularly on the fiscal effects. These effects, which are often beneficial to companies, include lowering costs, helping companies attract and retain better employees, building stronger relations with stakeholders, and helping improve and secure company’s reputation.…

    The term CSR could lead to an understanding that only companies or enterprises could actually apply the CSR principles in their business. For example, the definition of the corporation itself could vary in different English speaking countries as according to the dictionary of American English, the word corporation is most often used to describe large business corporations. In British English and in the Commonwealth countries, the term company is more widely used to describe the same sort of entity while the word corporation encompasses all incorporated entities (Word Heritage Encyclopedia n.d). However, the wider meaning of the word corporate is an internal corporate management and internal business administration of any organization, where…
