Matthew manages the sales team at an information technology (IT) firm. His focus is to conduct business in accordance with his firm's mission and vision, while making as much money as possible for the firm and conforming to the basic rules of the society. He ensures that his actions embody ethical custom. In this scenario, Matthew's view of corporate social responsibility is most likely rooted in the Utilitarian tradition.

Explanation:

Utilitarianism is a ethical theory which talks about the right and the wrong actions of an individual.This theory advocates that the action that brings happiness to the society and also increases the utility in the society as a whole is called a morally correct action.

This theory was proposed by Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill.

In simple words an action is termed as right if it promotes happiness in the society and is termed bad it it brings unhappiness in the society

So we can say that Matthew's view of corporate social responsibility is most likely rooted in the Utilitarian tradition.
