CORPORATE CULTURE
The role of business is to create wealth by providing goods,services and employment.There is only one social responsibilty of business-to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game,and engage in open and free competition without deception or fraud.( M. Friedman)
Business is one of many subsystems in the wider social system.Just as society depends on business organizations for goods and services,so business depends on society for employees,capital,physical resources.To be accepted as part of that society,business needs to respond to society’s demands and expectations,which will not be confined to generating wealth.(Corp. Social Responsibility)
