This paper’s literature survey studies the controversies that managers face while implementing SCSR, especially in times of the new normal, by the firm that they operate and decides for. The legitimacy and philosophy of SCSR practices are based on business ethics. The steps in between them are the reality of the principal-agent problem, the legitimacy through Social Contract Theory.
