A New Rationale for Corporate Social Policy

by Henry C. Wallich; John J. McGowan; Rensis Likert; William J. Baumol

Dec 1, 1970
  • Community and Economic Development
  • Employment and Labor

  • DESCRIPTION

To what extent can corporate involvement in social problem-solving be justified when such activity lies outside the usual framework of hte marketplace? In addressing themselves to this issue, the authors of these papers suggest that long-range corporate self-interest may be compatible with some types of social "do-goodism." They observe that to one degree or another many corporations are already involved in public-interest activities -- or would become involved if an adequate rationale were available. In these papers, the authors examine various bases for a defense of corporate social involvement, examining the consequences and implications inherent in each approach to the problem. Included papers:
  • "Enlightened Self-Interest and Corporate Philanthropy" by William J. Baumol
  • "The Influence of Social Research on Corporate Responsiblity" by Rensis Likert
  • "Stockholder Interest and the Corporation's Role in Social Policy" by Henry C. Wallich and John J. McGowan
