Corporate Social Responsibility has the word “social” at its heart. What does that mean? Social relates to society. That is obvious. So why is CSR an issue? Increasingly information is presented to us by business and politicians in a way that pretends we have the facts to choose but in reality we are being psychologically manipulated without us realising how badly our judgement is being affected. If we think too hard, we can become more confused. Using critical thinking from the field of sociology, we can see through such confusion. Sociology is the study of society and “social” relates to society. By seeing CSR as the social context of management, managers can help make the behaviour of their organisation less anti-social. This would make their life at work more fulfilling as well as helping wider society.
