Abstract
On the web, in the media, amongst the academia everywhere CSR is either wrongly defined or incompletely represented or misnamed. From selfless owner’s personal charity to corporate marketing strategy all are claimed as CSR. In this state of ambiguity, in guise of CSR, corporations may be harming the society in most irresponsible way. This paper made a humble effort to propose working definitions of CSR issues to clear the ambiguities. Because of the failure of various sophisticated approaches of analysis to get consensus an all new approach of semantics is taken in this paper to trigger more debates to crystallize all nuances of CSR.
