ABSTRACT
The research work took a look at an appraisal of social responsibility practice by Anambra Motor Manufacturing Company (ANAMMCO) Emene, Enugu. In an attempt to get to the root of the matter being investigated, four research questions and four hypotheses were proposed. The chi square statistics was used to test the hypotheses. The researcher adopted the survey approach. The population of the study is five hundred and ninety (590) staff while the sample size is two hundred and thirty eight (238). The researcher used both primary and secondary sources of data. The primary data was generated through the use of questionnaires and oral interview. The secondary data was sourced through the use of textbooks, journals including newspaper prints from library. The study revealed that apart from the usually tradition of profit making, business firms can also carry out a successful Social Responsibility practice. The study also revealed that social responsibility practice should be legalized given the negative impact of business organization to the society. Where to source funds for financing social programmes and when business should engage in social responsibility programmes were equally x-rayed. Recommendations were also made to ensure possible completion of the work. These include; proper implementation of social issues, strict application of legislation to compel business firms to be socially responsibly and finally, social responsibility should be better practice than imagined since it still create favorable public image for the business and it is normal and right thing to do.
