Title:	Modelling CSR: How Managers Understand the Responsibilities of Business Towards Society
Author:	Rahbek Pedersen, Esben
Abstract:	The purpose of this article is to develop a model of how managers perceive the responsibilities of business towards society. The article is based on the survey responses of more than 1,000 managers in eight large international firms. It is concluded that the managerial perceptions of societal responsibilities differ in some respects from the mainstream models found in the corporate social responsibility (CSR) and business ethics literature. The article is an output of RESPONSE: an EUand corporate-funded research project on managerial perceptions of CSR.
