A Literature Review of the Development of Corporate Social Responsibility Theory

Feiyu Gu

Abstract

Almost four diff erent stages can be found for the term, corporate social responsibility, which includes the germinating stage,
establishment stage, development and deepened stage and maturity and internationalization stage. Its earlier stage turns out be spontaneous
and voluntary, and later it will be gradually developed into the passive and compulsory social responsibility. The development trend of this
CSR hints the necessity of corporate social responsibility and the potential possibilities that will adapt to the corporate business benefi ts.
