Thus, this review explores the tangible societal responsibilities of the business community. It also discuses the long-established arguments on the roles of business to society beyond profit making and maximizing its financial well-being. Using key words such as the business community, well-being, social responsibilities, Buddhist economics, western economics, and sustainable business, 114 articles were retrieved from the web-based resources. The data generated thus were analysed using the constant comparison analysis of QUAL approach. The finding indicates that the societal responsibility of the business community is an oxymoron conceptually.
