In the last twenty years there has been a big change in the nature of the triangular relationship between companies, the state and the society. Business practices are changing from the normal practices of solely profit to factor in public goodwill and responsible business etiquettes.

Though they have been instrumental in creating employment, wealth, products and services, yet the pressure on business to play a role in social issues involving employees, stakeholders, society, environment, government etc. is continuously increasing.
