Corporate voluntarism: panacea or plague? A question of horizon

Article Abstract:

Community involvement, not politically compelled notions of civic duty, explains why corporations would allow social concerns to guide business decisions. Though David Engel explores liberal rationalism to suggest that corporate voluntarism is practiced because it allows corporate executives to feel moral or to enhance their business reputation, a critical realist approach suggests otherwise. The latter approach suggests that corporate executives are motivated to conduct socially responsible corporate action because of their desire to feel connected to and involved in the community.
