[Music]
[16]
in the final phase of this discussion
[20]
now we'll be focusing on the corporate
[24]
citizenship and the different aspects of
[29]
corporate citizenship so wait we're
[33]
discussing the concept of corporate
[36]
citizenship we have to understand the
[40]
different views related to it there are
[46]
three perspective in discussing
[49]
corporate citizenship the first is a
[52]
limited view of corporate citizenship
[55]
which equips corporate citizenship with
[60]
the corporate philanthropy the top part
[64]
of the carrels corporate social
[68]
responsibility model and it is take it
[72]
to be equivalent to that so it is taken
[75]
like the corporate is performing it
[78]
citizenship function where it is
[81]
voluntarily donating for some social
[86]
causes that is a limited view of
[89]
corporate citizenship but these way of
[93]
considering corporate citizenship
[95]
actually doesn't add something new to
[98]
the concept of already present which is
[101]
corporate social responsibility in it
[105]
equivalent view of corporate social
[110]
equivalent of you corporate citizenship
[114]
has been considered to be equivalent to
[117]
corporate social responsibility and some
[121]
of the literature present these two
[124]
terms have been introduced
[126]
interchangeably like either corporate
[131]
citizenship or corporate social
[134]
responsibility with the four different
[136]
responsibilities like economic legal
[139]
ethical a philanthropy when we are
[144]
talking of the extended view of
[146]
corporate citizen
[147]
ship this acknowledges the extended
[151]
political role of the corporation in the
[155]
society when we are discussing death we
[160]
have to understand like in the extended
[163]
role what we are discussing off other
[168]
like I do like the nature of individual
[172]
citizenship is getting compared with the
[176]
citizenship role of the carpet here we
[179]
are talking of the leg entitlement to
[184]
certain rights of the individual like
[188]
the social rights the civil rights and
[192]
the political rights social right is the
[197]
right to participate in certain
[200]
activities we will you write are not
[204]
right not to be abused by certain other
[210]
entities or individuals or groups and
[213]
any talking of political rights it is
[216]
the right to express my choice or
[219]
freedom for something in this extended
[224]
view of corporate citizenship the
[227]
corporation taken the corporate
[231]
functions are taken to be functions
[235]
which help the individuals in exercising
[243]
or which takes care of the these
[246]
different rights of individuals and it
[250]
is taken corporate citizenship as a
[253]
concept where the corporate functions
[256]
are governing the citizenship right of
[261]
the individual by either in a providing
[267]
role or like they are providing for
[271]
these rights they are any birth of these
[275]
rights they are facilitating these
[278]
rights too
[280]
facilitating the process so that they
[286]
are able they are providing for the
[289]
social right they are enabling for the
[295]
civic rights to be enjoyed and they are
[299]
channeling so that the improved of
[303]
society at large the citizens at large
[307]
can enjoy their political rights also so
[311]
corporate citizenship the corporates are
[314]
playing the role of providers enablers
[317]
and they're also channel I Linda helping
[322]
the individuals to exercise their you
[325]
are there channelizing them so that they
[328]
can exercise their political right let
[332]
us now compare the three different views
[337]
of corporate citizenship with respect to
[340]
the focus make main stakeholder group
[344]
which is involved motivations and moral
[348]
grounding of it when the focus we see
[353]
the limited view the focus has already
[356]
discussed if all projects and limited
[360]
scope on philanthropy in equivalent view
[363]
the focus is on it's all areas of CSR
[367]
with like economic perspective the legal
[371]
ethical and philanthropic perspectives
[373]
in the extended view it is on the social
[378]
and political they will arrive for it is
[381]
the corporate functions are near towards
[384]
governing the social political and civil
[388]
rights of the reciting the people at
[391]
large in society means stakeholder group
[395]
you see they look for limited view it is
[399]
for the local communities and my
[401]
employees for equivalent view it is a
[404]
broad range of stakeholders but when
[407]
you're taking the extended view it is
[409]
the broad range of citizens or the
[413]
society
[414]
in general whether if you are taking a
[417]
very extended view of the stakeholders
[420]
means network of stakeholders
[423]
stakeholders of stakeholder stakeholders
[426]
of stakeholders of stakeholders and that
[428]
how everybody gets connect to that as a
[432]
part of the stakeholder of the form and
[434]
that's why the citizenship Lowell
[438]
motivation is primarily philanthropic in
[441]
the limited view of the form and also
[444]
economic where citizenship is strategic
[447]
in nature so when you're talking of
[448]
strategic CSR who it is philanthropic
[452]
and of course economic equivalent view
[457]
it is a motivation is mixed economic
[459]
legal ethical and philanthropy because
[462]
these are the fourth goals that have
[464]
been set for a CSR an extended view it
[468]
is mainly is the functioning as a
[472]
political actor where the power and
[474]
influence of the firm spreads across the
[480]
society so that is the citizenship role
[484]
and the ticket for the political live
[487]
from the political perspective moral
[490]
grounding life and the fact for limited
[493]
view it is a reciprocity means so
[497]
because I have taken something from the
[499]
society it is when you kill the
[502]
philanthropy it is my part of
[505]
responsibility to the forms part of
[507]
responsibility to give something back to
[510]
the society also when it's an equivalent
[515]
view it is not only philanthropy but
[518]
also to understand the like it is my
[522]
duty to be responsible and to see the I
[526]
am taking some proactive steps to avoid
[531]
the harm that is done to the society in
[537]
extended view of corporate citizenship
[540]
it is the grounding is not on moral
[544]
things like i have taken from society
[547]
as a part of doing my business so i need
[550]
to give back to the society and provide
[553]
lesser of harm to it which but it is
[556]
mainly based on changes in the political
[559]
arena and the political power and
[562]
influence that I maybe want to make the
[568]
society from the society at large which
[572]
may in turn letter on help me in
[576]
facilitating in doing my business
[579]
properly that area is the guiding or the
[584]
moral grounding over here it is not a
[586]
model but but this political ways of
[590]
looking at the whole thing and this
[593]
because the role expected from the
[595]
organization over here is mainly at that
[599]
of the citizen where it takes care as a
[604]
caretaker or yoga regulator of the
[609]
citizens right so the enablers of the
[613]
different rights of the citizens so that
[619]
rain titling it is helping the citizens
[623]
to enjoy or get certain how the things
[628]
entitlements that they have in terms of
[631]
social rights civic rights and political
[633]
rights so from the moral I spectacles
[638]
shifted to a political aspect where it
[641]
is taking care of the rights of the
[646]
society and the citizens at large and
[649]
that's how they are playing this
[651]
citizenship Rose so assessing corporate
[657]
citizenship and the framework of
[659]
business I think we can understand like
[662]
in the extended view of corporate
[664]
citizenship helped us to frame the
[670]
concept of business ethics in new ways
[673]
because it helps us to better see the
[676]
political role of the organization it
[680]
because they are
[681]
gear towards the political roles because
[684]
they are also interested in increasing
[687]
the power and influence in the society
[690]
by providing something to the society
[694]
terms of helping them the citizens to
[697]
enjoy the show surely she will and the
[702]
political right then it terrifies the
[706]
demand of those stakeholders at large
[709]
for the accountability of the corporate
[712]
also to the stakeholders it helps to
[716]
understand the citizenship behaviors and
[722]
WaterGirl could be the fifth sides of
[724]
the citizenship behavior and the
[727]
challenges faced by the organization
[729]
with respect to globalization life when
[735]
we are going because it is like a run
[739]
towards the bottom where where I can get
[743]
things done at the cheaper rate a
[745]
cheapest easiest way without much of the
[749]
hindrances given by their local
[751]
community local law this laws of the
[755]
land and all these things so then it
[757]
brings responsibilities also in terms of
[762]
you providing for the rights of the
[767]
citizens of that place and you are not
[770]
harming the rights of the citizens of
[773]
that place and that's how you're
[777]
answering the challenges of
[778]
globalization and you know you're being
[782]
made accountable to the stakeholders of
[785]
that particular society that you are
[789]
going to and it also links with the
[794]
sustainability aspect because the rights
[797]
of the citizen it gets into the
[801]
sustainability in the sense if you are
[805]
helping your employees if you are
[808]
healthy the citizens at large to enjoy
[813]
certain of the rice and you are not
[817]
providing harm to their rights this
[820]
helps in the sustainability of the your
[824]
business through your to sustainable
[826]
business practices and I'm sure the
[828]
citizenship role that you play it helps
[831]
in the sustainability of the and if you
[835]
are accountable for your actions and you
[838]
have practicing transparency and
[840]
self-regulation it helps in the
[842]
sustainability of the society also that
[845]
were going and functioning with them and
[850]
it provides a critical perspective that
[854]
we allege the corporate citizenship it
[856]
provides a critical perspective on the
[859]
carpet social roles so that it helps in
[864]
dealing with it takes a non-us
[867]
perspective in dealing with how the
[869]
corporates are performing and how they
[872]
are answering to the needs of the
[875]
society and checks and balances so that
[878]
whether they are accountable to the
[880]
different stakeholders what all they
[883]
have done to and hang stuff or provide
[886]
for our enhanced up rights of the
[892]
individuals of that thing and
[894]
correspondingly the stakeholders or the
[898]
society also are getting because of the
[901]
citizenship roll the corporate selling
[904]
the society are also taking more
[907]
interest in the functioning of the
[909]
organization they're watching they are
[913]
trying to follow how you are doing your
[916]
business what are the moves that you are
[918]
taking your rooms in your business how
[921]
it is functioning what what what are the
[924]
objectives it is willing to and how it
[927]
is trying to how close for it is how it
[931]
is communicating with the society at
[933]
large what it is doing so society also
[936]
is getting interested about the
[940]
functioning of the organization and it
[943]
is trying to just communicate with the
[946]
organization in different way
[949]
through different platforms and that's
[951]
how the bonding between the corporation
[955]
and the society at large is extending
[958]
which leads to mutual beneficial
[962]
synergistic coexistence of each other so
[965]
thank you and we'll move forward with
[969]

[972]
of decision making and how corporations
[976]
like business ethics is practiced in
[980]

[983]

[987]
[Music]
[988]

[991]
stakeholders you know our subsequent
[993]
