An Overview of Corporate Social Responsibility

Abstract

The literature on business, society, and economics has focused on corporate social responsibility. Despite the difficulties 
in putting it into practice, it has greatly benefited the corporate organization and the corresponding community. The idea 
is still hazy since it is not well understood, despite its apparent advantages. Nonetheless, it is an indisputable reality that 
a combination of important facets of corporate social responsibility should be used as a guide for policy formulation, 
business decision-making, and knowledge advancement. In this context, this study provides an overview of corporate 
social responsibility by synthesizing the literature on its definition, motivations, forms, advantages, difficulties, and 
potential solutions.
