Abstract

This chapter considers some of the scholarly works and thinkers who have been influential in corporate social responsibility (CSR) debate during the past 50 years or so. It offers an academic narrative of the key social, economic and political concepts and themes from the very diverse and not always coherent discussion on corporate social responsibility. It does not provide a chronological history, but brings together fundamental thoughts in the field of CSR that have considerable resonance for contemporary business practice. Our central proposition is that fundamental change is a prerequisite for the advancement of corporate social responsibility; change that touches at the heart of the established social and economic paradigms.
