Abstract:

The paper goal is to study at cognitive and scientific level the social responsibility concept approach in the strategy of the organization management, both in the civil (business, administration, non-governmental organization), in the military, or in the religious area. The management of the organization is not just about the own benefit (profit, salary, assets) and the own activities (planning, organizing, staffing, leading, control, time management, motivation), but especially about the others (citizens, customers, clients, suppliers, competitors, market, non-direct beneficiaries, parishioners), for the benefit of the whole society (humans, natural environment, infrastructure, network and connection) from economical, legal, and ethical points of view. The methodology of the paper is the classic one, based on the qualitative and quantitative (using the Social Progress Index) analysis and synthesis of the literature and the available data, accessed from the published sustainability reports following to realize statistical comparison between EU-28 countries and to elaborate value judgement and important conclusions resulted from the scientific and practice studied in the paper. Despite of the well-recognized Corporate Social Responsibility benefits for the eco-economy, the CSR is not yet a reality in all fields of the activities. In conclusion, the eco-efficiency, and socio-efficiency strategies (with investments in society and environment protection care) can be the best incentive for every civil, religious, or military organization with economic, environmental, and social potential, both the win-win approach and the competitional advantage source in Business and Knowledge Management Strategies. In further study it can be interesting to find correlation between SPI and GDP.
