Interview with Roger L Martin on Corporate Social Responsibility

September 2007 - By Dr. Nagendra V Chowdary

“ I am more enthused about the term Corporate Citizenship because I think that it connotes the responsibilities of a good citizen. A person is a citizen of a given country and hence, has a home that accepts him/her as a legitimate member of its community.”
— Roger L Martin
