A study of corporate social responsibility in hospitals in Pune region

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is viewed as a comprehensive set of policies, practices and Programs that are integrated into business operations, supply chains, and decision-making processes throughout the organization - wherever the organization does business --and includes responsibility. Health Sector clearly stands out as a leader, when discussing the CSR issues. Part of the reason will be its close relation to its multiple stakeholders of society, government, and other private sectors. Another part of the reason may be that its way of making profits has a bigger relationship to people's lives by affecting their health problems rather than other business entities. This study overviews CSR in hospitals in Pune region. Discussions of possible implications from the study results are applied to consult the CSR concept that can be transferred into a business strategy for the organization manager.The researchers made a modest attempt to provide some practical suggestion for improving the status of CSR in hospitals.
