Designing a new pattern of social responsibility is done using DEA method and corporate performance measures include (return on assets, return on equity, real stock returns, Q-Tobin ratio, the market value of equity, economic value added, and cost of common stock). Models were tested using linear regression method in Eviews software. Results showed a significant relationship between social responsibility and corporate performance.
