Business and Society
A business firm is unavoidably influenced by its host community’s social institutions, social values, and cultural traditions. At the same time the firm exerts reciprocal influence on the society’s values and traditions.  At the intersections where these two  forces—Business and Society—meet, one discovers the major moral and ethical issues associated with business practice.                          

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) means that business has social and ethical, as well as economic, responsibilities to the people, communities, and environments affected by its operations.                                      

Business Ethics (BE) refers to the ethical rules, principles,
and moral logic applied to business operations, policies, and decisions.       

Business Values (BV) are the moral drivers or motives of business behavior, originating from natural and cultural sources.

Business and Nature
Business firms constantly interact with nature. All business actions and traits—profits, competition, organizational design, decisions, strategy, and policy—are heavily influenced by biology, genes, neural algorithms, ecology, and other natural processes.  Business success depends on the ability to understand and manage these natural forces.

Natural Corporate Management (NCM) is a management approach or technique based on knowing how natural forces affect business and how business decisions can achieve long-term sustainability for business, society, and the Earth’s ecosystems. For a full description of NCM, go here: BUSINESS AND NATURE.
