- Title
BUSINESS CITIZENSHIP: FROM DOMESTIC TO GLOBAL LEVEL OF ANALYSIS.
- Authors
Logsdon, Jeanne M.; Wood, Donna J.
- Abstract
In this article we first review the development of the concept of global business citizenship and show how the libertarian political philosophy of free-market capitalism must give way to a communitarian view in order for the voluntaristic, local notion of "corporate citizenship" to take root. We then distinguish the concept of global business citizenship from "corporate citizenship" by showing how the former concept requires a transition from communitarian thinking to a position of universal human rights. In addition, we link global business citizenship to global business strategy and to three analytical levels of ethical norms. Finally, we trace a process whereby global businesses can implement fundamental norms and learn to accommodate to legitimate cultural differences.
