The objective of this chapter is to study whether fixing social responsibility on entrepreneurs will benefit the society and ensure sustainability of his/her business and resources of the society. Analysis of recent key studies and available statistics is made. This chapter is based on exploratory research made through use of empirical studies, analysis of relevant key reports and available statistics. The cases where corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate governance may be misused threatening the interests of the public at large are included. The gap between business houses, society and essential practice of reporting for filling such gaps is also discussed.

Education is how lifelong progress is achieved through learning, unlearning and relearning. This chapter summarises the pilot of a social application based on the Mereon Matrix, and closes with an addendum that updates the original social application based on the Mereon Matrix. BELONGING was designed to rebuild the hearts and minds of teachers, strengthening their relationships with administrations, parents and learners. It provides a tool for addressing classroom management that was intentionally developed to fully support, yet operate independent of the curriculum. The results of this programme, implemented in an Italian school district since 2004, exceed what one might have dared to dream: BELONGING builds authenticity, develops character, and nurtures relationship skills, all of which are essential to learning and learning to lead. In a world driven by competition, separating winners from losers, BELONGING reveals connections and grows cooperation and empathy. This project indicates how authenticity, responsibility and accountability foster survival. It makes it clear why competent, creative, freethinking individuals who work together in a cooperative endeavour, strengthen stability to increase the possibility that a system can transcend survival. In 2017, the BELONGING brand was established and updated; design betas took place in the US and Indonesia; and global marketing efforts are underway in the fall of 2017.
