Intrinsic and extrinsic corporate social responsibility

This volume explores the differences between extrinsic and intrinsic Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

The former is driven by an assumed positive relationship between CSR activities and financial performance, while the latter stems from a moral duty.

These differences can be both banal and profound, because they often depend on definitions and because the scope, purpose and legitimacy of intrinsic CSR is vague, under-researched and subject to context.

It discusses the two manifestations of CSR through both applied and conceptual approaches, considering questions such as: Are there any differences?

If so, in which areas, aspects, consequences? How do they relate to each other? Which one is better and how could this be identified?
