Social responsibility was argued as a natural outcome of the business employee society relationship. Firms had long provided jobs, placing profits in the hands of employees (as wages) and this serves as social responsibility, furthering the betterment of the economy, communities and society as a whole (Margolis & Walsh, 2003). This view supported economist Milton Friedman’s long-standing belief that while these social issues existed, it was the state’s role to address them (Margolis & Walsh, 2003). More specifically defined, corporate social responsibility can be considered the managerial obligation to take action and protect the welfare of society as a whole the organization(Sen & Bhattacharya, 2001) This view approached a middle-ground whereby social responsibility is a natural linking of business needs and strategy with the needs of the environments in which the firm operates.
