Corporate Social Responsibility: Organizational Strategy for Sustainable Growth

Current discussions dealing with corporate social responsibility (CSR) have concentrated on solving queries, such as what promotes a firm's citizenship, under which environments firms conduct ethical management, what the primary determinants affecting a certain CSR (e.g., philanthropic CSR) are, and how it strategically enhances corporate performance, but such discussions tend to overlook its effect on long-term sustainable growth.

Thus, we do not yet know enough about CSR from a long-term perspective and its relationship with long-term sustainable growth. We should also acknowledge that a firm's unethical management is a primary cause and a result of poverty in our economy, which means that a firm's irresponsible activities (as an antonym of CSR) cannot be justified by any reason. This also represents the importance of research exploring CSR.
