MANAGERS AND ENGINEER ECONOMISTS BETWEEN SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF OIL CORPORATIONS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOCIAL ECONOMY
Abstract
The bold evolution of shock therapy applied after the 90’s favored the selling of state companies in the oil industry in Romania. Although the stated purpose of this action was to build a completely new economy, however, they succeeded in deepening the economic disaster after this stage: the impoverishment of the population, the loss of jobs, deepening of social problems and worsening of situation in case of hopeless people. Corporate social responsibility, although it is a concept whereby companies commit themselves to improve environmental performance and/or social obligations beyond legal, yet corporate behavior in the oil field in Romania do not meet society's expectations. Social economy implies that social enterprises and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) do business in order to provide the resources necessary to carry out social missions. Managers and economical engineers undertake activities in the social economy both as entrepreneurs, and managers of social responsibility for various corporations.
