This paper discusses the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility in the Moroccan context. The main purpose of this study is to draw up an inventory current situation of the CSR in Moroccan small business companies, as such to help understand the commitment of this type of business in sustainable economic development. It has been proven, by the survey among forty small Casablanca business leaders representing different sectors of activity, that the managers integrate unknowingly in their management the concept of SR, and that when it comes to social practices a link certainly exist between the company and its stakeholders (costumers, providers…). The survey shows that more than half of the interviewed executives stipulate that either they heard or know about SR; this awareness towards the concept is an increasing function which depend on the size of company. As also Moroccan leaders are aware of the advantages in engaging social responsibility approach in their business; this finding suggests as well that social responsibility can be of direct economic value for the firm.

Evangelical Christians are typically known for what they oppose, often taking hard-line stances against certain behaviors. Yet trends in the character of both American business and American religion enable evangelical executives to affirm the spiritual value of business and the choices required of business leaders. Evangelicalism is an individualistic religious tradition, encouraging spiritual improvisation, including personally interpreting the Bible. The Bible, in turn, is sufficiently diverse and ambiguous as to support all manner of priorities and perspectives. Paralleling this diversity, the panoply of stakeholder interests urged on companies by proponents of corporate social responsibility presents an array of possible contributions on which to base the spiritual worth of business. While evangelicalism, like religion more broadly, is often understood to be self-consistent, characterized by proscriptions and prohibitions, and rigidly dogmatic, in fact it is flexible, adaptable, often incoherent, and abundantly capable of affirming institutions and activities, including business.

Over the past decade, and especially after the scandals that occurred during the last economic recession, there has been a call for business leaders to pay attention not only to maximization of profit but also to corporate social responsibility (CSR). It is argued that responsible leadership can be an appropriate response to the diverse needs and challenges of a complex stakeholder society. The purpose of this explorative study was to investigate top business executives’ understanding of responsible leadership and their perceptions of CSR for stakeholders’ health and wellbeing. Key informant interviews were conducted with ten business executives representing a variety of sectors in East Central Sweden. Content analysis was conducted to detect patterns and categories in the data. business executives understood the role of a responsible leader to involve contribution, inclusiveness, and the creation of community and structure. They viewed CSR and stakeholders’ health and wellbeing largely from an organizational point of view, including their own.
