The word authority in a business field can be defined like "the faculty to send and the correlative obligation of to be obeyed by others". A more complete definition would be "the faculty to make decisions that produce effects". Are used to distinguishing four diverse types: the two first, of legal kind, they form the power or the exactly said authority; the two last form more well the moral authority that give the prestige, the know-how, etc., and are complements that should be given in any of the two basic.

The word responsibility stems from the latin responsum, that is a latin american form of the verb responding .respon (respond) sability (ability). In the corporate world one must be responsible in order to achieve success. That’s why I chose to talk about corporate social responsibility. The Corporate Social Responsibility (RSC) is the form to conduct the business of the businesses that is characterized for keeping in mind the impacts that all the aspects of its activities generate on its clients, employed, shareholders, local communities, and environment and on the company in general. It implies the obligatory compliance of the national and international legislation in the environmental, labor, social environment and of Human Rights, as well as any other voluntary action that the business wants to undertake to improve the quality of life of its employees, the communities in which it operates and of the company in its entirety.

The 5 principles that govern the RSC for the Observatory of RSC:

While it is in charge of that type of tasks perhaps is leaving sideways the decision on the conditions of sale with a client particularly or the analysis of the need of technological updating of its plant.

We can find more than one definition on DELEGATING, but we incline for defining it "the decision of agreeing authority to a collaborator for the achievement of objectives by whose obtaining, nevertheless, the final responsibility is retained".
