Donna Woods (Wood , 1991) uses both the models definitions <strong>of</strong> Carroll and <strong>of</strong><br />

Wartick & Cochran to propose an evolution <strong>of</strong> the social model <strong>of</strong> the organization’s<br />

performance, arguing that the model to insert the social responsibility in the<br />

organization should possess 3 dimensions (see Figure 11): the first dimension <strong>of</strong><br />

principles; the second, <strong>of</strong> processes and the third, <strong>of</strong> results. This third dimension <strong>of</strong><br />

results may have a function similar to the social politics dimension defined for<br />

Wartick & Cochran. For Wood, the corporate social responsibility would be a<br />

consequence <strong>of</strong> the principles <strong>of</strong> the organization to its social responsibility. In this<br />

context, these principles will be reflected through the processes <strong>of</strong> the organization<br />

and might be analyzed through the results given by the organization.<br />

Woods still increases this model proposal the relationships <strong>of</strong> the organization, in its<br />

different contexts <strong>of</strong> performance. These relationships are: the responsibility <strong>of</strong> the<br />

organization to the society (social contract), the responsibility <strong>of</strong> the organization to<br />

the products and services <strong>of</strong>fered and, lastly, the responsibility <strong>of</strong> the organization to<br />

the individuals that work in it (Figure 12).<br />

Another model that complements this vision regarding the integral management <strong>of</strong><br />

the corporate social responsibility is the integral model <strong>of</strong> Wilber (Wilber, 1997),<br />

(Varey , 2008), (Varey, 2008b), known as AQAL (All quadrants All Levels). This<br />

model indicates that the concepts and definitions used by the organization in relation<br />

to the corporate social responsibility has to include 4 performance quadrants (see<br />

Figure 13); these 4 quadrants have to be treated jointly so that the organization could<br />

put itself in the corporate social responsibility road.
