Topic: The Changing Role of Business in Society

Question: First using a minimum of 15-20 referred journal articles from the discipline of business ethics, as well as contemporary writings from internet sources and texts discuss critique and analyse perspectives on the changing role of business in society. Your discussion and analysis most include the following and should take a holistic approach focussed on the topic; do not write a series of unrelated short answers.

• a critique of Milton Friedman's narrow, classical economic view of corporate social responsibility.

• the relevance of Simon, Powers & Gunnemann's work on the moral minimum and affirmative duties to prevent harm and assist society within the Kew Garden Principles.

• Porter's view that there is a market for virtue and that business is well placed to assist governments to address social problems.

• contemporary developments in corporate responsibility and citizenship in theory and practice. A good place to start is by reviewing the research available from the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship www.BCCorporateCitizenship.org.

Second, what conclusions can you draw regarding the proposition that corporate responsibility and citizenship programs not only advance communities and protect the environment, but deliver benefits to business as well? Also, what are the implications for corporate citizenship strategy?
