Abstract


The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) field integrates concept and ideas from the perspective of diverse disciplines which approach this topic: from economics, to ethics, politics and sociology. Owing to the diverse theories/souls that form this research, it is still unclear whether it can be possible to provide a unique definition of the concept of CSR.

The present work aims to shed light on the most important scientific contributions that approach the CSR study, focusing on current business ethics issues, in order to provide an overview of recent CSR approaches.

What is still missing is a simple, inclusive assessment of tools and methods that reveal their utility in the study of CSR from all the perspectives considered.


L’ambito di studio della Responsabilità Sociale d’impresa integra concetti e idee provenienti dalle differenti discipline che affrontano tale oggetto di studio: dall’economia, all’etica, alla politica e sociologia. A causa delle svariate anime che concorrono a dare forma al concetto di CSR, è ancora poco chiaro se sarà possibile fornire una definizione univoca di esso.

Il presente contributo intende passare in rassegna i più importanti contributi scientifici, con particolare attenzione alle questioni di natura etico- economica, al fine di illustrare in maniera completa lo stato dell’arte in materia di CSR.

Le ricerche future sono chiamate a formulare ipotesi inclusive di metodi e strumenti universali per l’analisi della responsabilità sociale dell’impresa.
