One prominent argument against being socially responsible makes the claim that business managers are ________ to address social concerns

A) too impractical
B) not competent
C) too wealthy
D) too out of touch

Answer: B
Explanation: No one makes the claim that business leaders are too impractical or too out of touch to be socially responsible, though the ideas may have a small measure of validity. Similarly, wealthy business leaders would in no way be prevented from addressing social concerns and in fact, according to the idea of noblesse oblige, wealth might be a good reason to act in a socially responsible way. That leaves the choice "not competent," which states that many people think that business leaders, not having training in social areas, are not qualified to try to help in these areas as the correct response.
