Director Appleton exhibits which of the following social responsibility views?
A) social responsiveness
B) broad view of social responsibility
C) classical view of social responsibility
D) socioeconomic view of social responsibility
Answer: C
Explanation: Appleton has a strict classical view of social responsibility. He is looking at costs and profits only and is not concerned with long-term effects or problems. Appleton's view is not in accord with the socioeconomic view of social responsibility–calling for businesses to go beyond profits and consider society's welfare. Appleton is not being socially responsive because the public is not calling for a high-pollution plant to be built. Finally, a "broad" view of social responsibility is a vague term that cannot describe the director's views, so it is not a correct response.
