解説
問 21
Incorrectア
BCP (Business Continuity Plan) is a plan for keeping core business operations running and recovering them quickly even when an emergency such as a disaster, accident, or system failure occurs. It is a concept of crisis management and does not express the ideal of addressing social issues, so it is wrong.
- イ
正解 The correct answer is 'イ', CSR. CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is translated as 'corporate social responsibility'. It refers to the basic concept of corporate activity in which a company does not aim only at pursuing profit, but also considers diverse stakeholders such as consumers, employees, local communities and the global environment, and proactively addresses social issues such as contributing to society and protecting the environment. Because the stem's wording 'beyond merely pursuing profit' and 'recognizes and addresses social issues such as contributing to society and protecting the global environment' corresponds exactly to the definition of CSR, 'イ' is correct.
Incorrectウ
M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions) is a management-strategy technique in which a company merges with or acquires other companies to expand its business scale and competitiveness. It is a means of corporate growth and is unrelated to the ideal of social responsibility, so it is wrong.
Incorrectエ
MBO (Management Buyout) is a form of M&A in which a company's management buys the company's shares or a business division and acquires control of it. It is a technique for transferring capital and ownership, not a corporate ideal of addressing social issues, so it is wrong. The same abbreviation MBO can also mean Management by Objectives in human-resource management, but listed alongside M&A in this question it refers to the management buyout.
ここがポイント
- CSR = corporate social responsibility. It is the basic concept of corporate activity that, beyond pursuing profit, works on social issues such as social contribution, environmental protection, and consideration for stakeholders.
- Distinguish the confusing three-letter abbreviations: BCP = business continuity plan, M&A = mergers and acquisitions, MBO = management buyout.
