Features: The study of corporate moral responsibility belongs to the field of business ethics. This book focuses on the core issue of business ethics—moral responsibility—and conducts a comprehensive, multi-angle in-depth exploration and investigation from history to theory to practice. It also combines the social reality of the lack of corporate moral responsibility during China's transition period to rationally analyze the reasons for this lack, attempting to explore a new approach for establishing a moral responsibility mechanism for enterprises in the socialist market economy. The most innovative aspect of this book lies in the author's departure from traditional approaches to business ethics research. Starting from the fundamental questions, the author explores metaphysical logical premises such as "How is corporate moral responsibility possible?" and boldly proposes the concept of the "Threefold Basis of Corporate Moral Responsibility." Currently, the issue of corporate social responsibility has become a hot topic in both international and domestic academic and business circles. In fact, a deeper investigation into the more profound issues behind corporate social responsibility would reveal that it is precisely the moral responsibility of enterprises that determines their social responsibility. In other words, corporate moral responsibility is the deeper, more fundamental, and substantive reason behind corporate social responsibility.
