Abstract
With the liberalization of economy, the corporate sector is making an increased effect on the rapidly transforming society in Kazakhstan. The paper studies the perception of the society of Kazakhstan on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The primary data has been generated by means of a structured questionnaire, administered to the selected sample in Kazakhstan. The data has been analyzed with the help of mean and standard deviation. The findings reveal that in a market-led economy, society holds both positive and skeptic view of CSR activities and expects a responsible and ethical behavior from the corporations. The process of further integration of the society and business is required and the business has to reinforce the positive momentum to strengthen the confidence in the society. The study is useful for the corporations to understand the societal perception on corporate social responsibility, which may help them to redesign and reposition their social responsibility activities.
