Abstract
There is no uniform definition of corporate social responsibility (CSR). The basic idea can be traced back to the work of Bowen (1953) and Davis (1960) on the social responsibility of businessmen that was subsequently extended to companies as a whole under the label of corporate social responsibility (e.g., Carroll 1991; Jones 1980).
