It traces the evolution of CSR from its historical roots to contemporary practices, highlighting how different business eras have shaped the understanding and implementation of CSR.

The paper concludes with recommendations for businesses to prioritize shareholder value while integrating localized decision-making to effectively address social objectives. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
