Expectations Paradigm
There are two major deficiencies in expectations paradigm:
1. What if the society expectations are different?
2. What if the society expectations are not moral?
We cannot rely on expectations! We need a normative ethical theory for objective evaluation of both our actions and the expectations of the society.

Methodological Issues Carroll’s Pyramid of CSR
Summary of the paper:
The total CSR consists from four levels:
Discretionary responsibilities those about which society has no clear-cut message for business. They are left to individual judgment and choice
Ethical responsibilities additional behaviors that are not necessarily codified into law but nevertheless are expected of business by society's members.
Legal responsibilities To produce goods within the framework of legal requirements
Economic responsibilities As the basic economic unit in our society the business has a responsibility to produce goods and services that society wants and to sell them at a profit.
Is it logically perfect?
