Corporate Social Responsibility in all Sectors of the Economy

'Corporate Social Responsibility in all Sectors of the Economy' wants to show that CSR should be practiced in all the sectors of the economy and not only in large corporations. The 'all' in the title is intended to say that CSR should be extended to public administration whose social responsibility in practice is beyond questioning in most countries of the world. The scope of this study is to make a theoretical point more than producing a comprehensive conspectus of CSR. Acknowledgement of nuances and country variations in the current performance of public administration reinforces the need for CSR to be extended to such sector.The novel idea of CSR is called here 'Reformulated CSR': all organizations should provide an explicit account for their value added to society. CSR is the business duty for all organizations to account for their core business' impact on society.The subtitle 'Towards Responsible Macrobehaviour' refers to Schelling's theory of human interaction and it points to Reformulated CSR as responsible 'macrobehaviour'.
