Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate some common features of social business and social issues management. First, we compare business view. Yunus has the same view of business with Friedman. They assume a business objective is the maximization of profit. Yunus regards social business objective as resolution of social issues. In management theory, some researchers conclude resolution of social issues is compatible with maximization of profit. Secondly, we identify cases of social business and social issues management. Both social business and social issues management cooperate with other business corporations and NGOs to resolve social issues. Social business intends to resolve issues as poverty, education, health and the environment. It takes very long time to solve these problems. Business corporations engage in social issues related their stakeholders.
