| Title | From the Dodge Case to Corporate Social Responsibility - The Rise of Benefit Corporations: Lessons for Georgia in Light of the U.S. Experience |
| Summary | The notion of corporate social responsibility is widely excepted recent phenomenon that promotes the following idea that corporations should serve the societies and take into account interests of all stakeholders rather than focus on profit-maximization interests of shareholders. Despite the recent popularity of CSR, legal scholars and economists have a debate over the social nature of corporations, related fiduciary duties of corporate managers and the introduction of new forms of socially responsible corporations, such as the Benefit Corporation. This paper will focus on the notion of CSR, its connections with corporate law in the context of shareholder versus stakeholder debate and Benefit Corporations in order to identify the relevance of the stated issues in the non-U.S. legal system of Georgia. |
