ECONOMIC SYSTEM OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: STRUCTURE, FUNCTIONAL AND TERRITORIAL SPECIFICS
Section: TERRITORIAL SOCIAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC PECULIARITIES OF UKRAINE
Language: Ukrainian
Abstract: The paper deals with a theoretical issue of the structure and the operational behavior of the social responsibility economic system. The issue finds its basis within the scientifically accepted sociophilosophical notion of social responsibility as a systemic phenomenon. The paper details the functional and the territorial specifics of the social responsibility economic system’s organization. The System is presented as a complex unit comprising the socially responsible economic agents, the hierarchy of contracts as the economic norms of social responsibility and the economic object of social responsibility in the form of social capital. The socially responsible economic agents are referred as individual and institutional entities. Their specific functions and interactions are viewed as the organizational backbone of the social responsibility economic system. The paper reveals the specifics of interaction between the social responsibility economic system and its territory domain (the System’s environment). The economic agents’ functional specifics (individual and institutional) as well as the territory specifics are deemed significant with regard to social capital generation.
Key words: social responsibility, system, economic agent, functions, territory domain.
