Abstract
During the next decade, we will face a complex set of “responsibility questions.” Different organizations will go through radical and unprecedented changes of rules. What we need now is a permanent platform for business and its stakeholders as they grapple with the most pressing ethical issues facing businesses all over the world concerning the vital area of responsibility. The transition to a market economy in many parts of the world in the recent two decades has not only opened up new horizons for business but also created a need to renew traditional moral values in the interest of social stability and the well-being of societies. There is a growing recognition that responsibility could create added value both for the economy and for society.
