Research About “global responsibility” in management

Abstract

The concept of global responsibility (GR) was devised to extend the traditional set of references for management responsibility. In analytical terms, we are forced to take externalities into account in management behavior, in a way, to try and externalize them. Two reference models have been explored: on model is based on the principle of dissociation between business and non‐business; the other model is based on the principle of their integration in the vision that managers have about their organizations’ strategy and in their concrete behaviors. However, some tendencies are emerging; they are common to both families of behavior models: the tendency to “legalize” contemporary companies, the increased constraint to “account” (accountability) and, finally, the risk of an increased risk aversion.
