“The Government sees Corporate Social Responsibility as good for society and good for business”?

I would agree that theres probably no one who would disagree with your question/quote. With the exclusion of the actual corporations who often dont really abide by any real social responsibility. The old adage is that corporations are not responsible to society, merely to their stakeholders. This may be changing slowly in some quarters but remember, the primarly goal of any corporation is and always will be --- profit.

If you are asking what the responsibilities of a government should be, I  have always found this definition to be the best...Anything the private sector couldn't, wouldn't, or shouldn't do. If an issue doesn't meet at least one of those criteria, the government should not get involved in it.

In theory it is, but in practice, it doesn't work that way. The government has become self-serving. One might argue that the government looks at the bigger picture and therefore can not make decisions based on what the people want. Also, at times, the government only knows what the people with the largest influence and the biggest wallets wants.

It is said and I quote..."A lasting social government without a morality predicated upon spiritual realities can no more be maintained than the solar system without gravity."  \n\nA functional governement needs a moral basis for society to thrive... and thereby the government will thrive...

Correct! One should always distinguish between the Government and the People

I think it's great that corporations are making social responsibility an integral part of their agendas.  Corporations play such a big role in our communities by providing jobs, it's only natural that they extend that role to other areas in the community.  For example, if you have a company that wants to ensure the pool of quality job applicants, that company may invest in the local school system by providing scholarships.  Or if a company knows it has the resources and wants to get some positive publicity, it may contribute to environmental protection measures.  In essence, whatever the company does for its community will come back to them in the form of better employees and more customers.  In the end, both the community and the company win.

Economy is good when the people feel that it is improving just like increase in employment opportunities, decrease in prices of goods and government services are reaaly beneficial to the people.

i believe that it can be proved otherwise...\na corporation can make money and still serve society though it takes a lot of work and balance...\nokay sooo maybe conflict is inevitable, but that doesnt mean that a money making corporation cannot serve...\nthere is a company i believe they are doing well for themselves and still have the initiative to do what's best for their consumers, okay, so its a water refilling station, they make a lot of money and sure people argue that they have high prices but its really pure clean water (in contrast to scammers in the our in town selling cheap but unsafe water), so they serve society by providing the best quality of water they can.

That is where the Lezefare policy (privatised freedom) is all about.  In a controlled economy the Government inerfears to stop is the manufacturing of below standard products but in a so called free economy the Government can not interfear into this.  The customers are the better decision makers it is believed.  And we all know the customer awareness in India and the consequences of it. Although we are not in that barbarian society, we are marching towards one.  As on date, we are in betwee, the BIS standards are specified by BIS and these standards are made by expert in the field of that particular products. The products which are upto these standards have been given permission by BIS to print the words "BIS" and its registration number ISI 473 etc.  \n\nNow again it is the customer's option whether to buy a ISI or BIS products or a non-ISI or BIS product.  But do yo know, the Government influenced by these business men is re-thinking on the very existence of this BIS itself considering it as a measure to reduce  extra paper work. This will make the society and business more barbarian and uncivilised with no business ethics.\n\nI agree with you, no products without not as per the standard specified by BIS and with  BIS certificates should be allowed to float in the market.

Social responsibility has to come from within. That means from top-down directives from management goals and bottoms-up mechanics from the lowest person on the totem pole. It also has to be promoted, not just once, but on an on-going basis. This means:\n\n1. Top down directives: Have the social responsibilty in the company mission statement or in its directives.  \n\n2. Bottoms up mechanics:  Install rules that incentivize social responsibility and discourage negative behavior . \n\n3. Promote the culture of social responsibility.  Have meetings once a year to talk about it, post notifications on the bulletin boards/intranet, publicize positive behavior, organize events that are socially responsible and educate new hires on its place/methods/benefits.

We are.  The law states that corporations are citizens with all the rights that go with that.  Corporations may have organs, but none of them is a heart, a brain, a lung, or a soul.  We need to refine our laws so that this inequivalence is reflected in our law, and we can hold corporations as accountable as our human citizens.  Aside from that, there will probably always be some crime among humans, and likewise crime among corporations.

depends on if you ask an economist or a sociologist.\n\nthe sociologist will probably say it is bad.\n\nThe economist will probably say it is a good thing.

Both. It's not an either-or proposition, by the way. If you look around the world, you will see that countries with poor economies also have high pollution.\n\nBecause with good economies comes high standards of living and the ability to implement clean environmental policies.\n\nSo, if you're for good economy, you'll get a cleaner environment. If you're for a cleaner environment, the best way to accomplish that is with a good economy.

I'm correcting your grammar: \n\nHello, My name is Sharlyn . Today Im gonna talk ABOUT the Economic aspect of Singapore. First, let me ask:  HAVE any of you been to Singapore or THOUGHT ABOUT doing business there perhaps???\n\nDoing business in Singapore is acutally BENEFICIAL(desirable?) BECAUSE their economy is a highly developed and successful free market economy (meaning only businesses and consumers decide what they will produce and purchase, so basically there is no governmental intervention )
