Abstract

Governments and welfare organisations like United Nations Organisation have to a great degree failed in bringing peace, prosperity and inclusive development to our ailing world. It’s time to invite the corporate sector that is capable of substantial development to step in the inclusive development process that will lead to prosperous future for all. But the evils in the corporate arena are spreading fast, innumerable recent researches in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) prove that the gap between the display of CSR principles on papers and their actual application is widening day by day leading to frauds, mounting corruption and coercion in business spheres. Many corporate bodies are accused of behaving unethically including issues like inadequate salaries to employees, social suppression, killings, detrimental behaviour towards nature, etc. The narrowing corporate goal for an inclusive development is turning into a demonic and immoral money making throat-cut competition. This article focusses on the concepts of CSR and Social Entrepreneurship, various corporate failures and their reasons, and suggests the use of CSR principles through Social Entrepreneurship to make corporate bodies fit to be invited for inclusive development projects.

KURUMSAL SEKTÖR İLE KAPSAYICI KALKINMA: SOSYAL GİRİŞİMCİLİK İLE DAHA GÜÇLÜ KURUMSAL SOSYAL SORUMLULUK VE DAHA SAĞLIKLI KURUMSAL SEKTÖR

Abstract

Hükümetler ve Birleşmiş Milletler gibi refah örgütleri; dünyamıza barış, refah ve kapsayıcı bir kalkınma sunmada büyük başarısızlığa uğradı. Bundan dolayı toplumların bütün kesimini kapsayacak uygun bir kalkınma planı ortaya koymak için gelişme yeteneğine sahip kurumsal sektörün sürece dahil edilme zamanı. Ancak kurumsal alandaki yozlaşma hızla artıyor. Kurumsal Sosyal Sorumluluk (KSS) alanında yapılan birçok yeni araştırmaya göre; KSS prensiplerinin kağıt üzerinde kaldığı ve fiili uygulamaya yansıtılamadığı, iş alanlarında yolsuzluk ve zorlamaların arttığı, bundan dolayı prensipler ile uygulama arasındaki farkın günden güne arttığı sonucu ortaya çıkıyor. Birçok kurumsal organ, çalışanlara yetersiz maaş, sosyal baskı, cinayet, doğaya yönelik zararlı davranışlar vb. konuları içeren etik olmayan davranışlarda bulunmakla suçlanıyor. Kapsayıcı bir gelişme için daraltılmış kurumsal hedef, boğaz kesimli rekabeti yaratan şeytani ve ahlaki olmayan bir para kazanma aracına dönüşüyor. Bu makale KSS ve Sosyal Girişimcilik kavramlarına odaklanarak kurumsal sektördeki başarısızlıkları ve bu başarısızlıklara sebep olan nedenleri ortaya koyuyor. Sosyal girişimcilik yoluyla yürütülecek olan kalkınma temelli projelerin KSS ilkeleri temel alınarak uygulanmasını öneriyor.
