The negative aspects of corporate social responsibility.

The basic reason why a business is formulated is to make a profit. Corporate social responsibility insists on a corporation to make an effort to look out for stakeholders who are not shareholders only, but who have an interest on what an organization does and the outcomes of what it does. Despite of that, its not totally the duty of the corporation to look out for the many people who hold an interest in the company's activities. If the operations of the free market don’t solve the social problem, it is the duty of the government and not the businesses, to address the many issues faced by the society.

Some businesses are just not prepared to deal with social issues. The lack of preparations of a particular business to deal with societal issues needs the managers to be trained and well versed in dealing with the complex issues that many societies face, as this will give them the skills and the knowledge to be prepared to do so.
