기업의 사회적 책임에 대한 유가사상 적용 연구

With the growth of economic diversification and the demand for humanity, we need to find a way of business management that is similar to the principles of Confucianism with focus on “people-oriented”. The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) was first raised in the West and is now widely interpreted and actively sought in each country. Since CSR includes ethical and cultural factors for society as well as economic and legal responsibility, researchers are attempting to study various cultural and philosophical aspects in addition to management approaches. The companies in Asian countries, especially Korea, China, and Japan, need to consider the cultural foundation of Confucianism, the mainstream of traditional Eastern ideas. This is because Confucianism formed a Confucian culture centered on East Asian countries, was used as a ritual mainstream and national studies, as well as permeated most of our life, including politics, economy, culture, and social life, forming a unique difference from other cultures. In this study, we examine how the management philosophy of Confucian ideas can have an active impact on corporate social responsibility. We consider the contents of corporate ethics and Confucian philosophy and examine the applicable contents to corporate social responsibility. Through this, the company intends to present measures to effectively fulfill its social responsibilities by applying the management philosophy of Confucian ideas.
