The social responsibility of the organization is the obligation of an organization to act in a way that serves both its own interests and the interests of society.
Organizations do not yet have a definite and unique stance on social responsibility, so there are four different approaches to social responsibility, which are: Obstructionist, Defensive, Accommodative, and Proactive.
The phrase "First lie, then deny" fits the standards advocated by the obstructionist approach, as this approach demonstrates a denial of social responsibility and prioritizes the organization's economic activities. That is, this approach states that when it comes to corporate social responsibility with a society, you must first lie and then deny any responsibility.
There are various general approaches to social responsibilities and can be devided into four basic stances: Obstructionist, Defensive, Accommodative, and Proactive (Amanda, 2008). “First lie, then deny” would be consistent with the Obstructionist stance approach. It is to hinder or get in the way of, or stop something. An organization which holds an obstructionist stance “tries to block and stop what is going on” and avoid corporate social responsibility (Steege, 2008, Slide 9). They do not make social responsibility an effort, instead making profits the most important aspect of its business. Obstructive businesses viewed as immoral by some people since they may pollute natural lands, abuse their employees or cheat customers.
