The iconic firm is also known for a unique corporate culture and management style. The "Southwest Way" is linked to key elements of corporate social responsibility (CSR) concepts, mirroring values. In the con-text of company strategy and a brief SWOT analysis, this paper analyzes and evaluates the firm's CSR reporting in its 2011 "Southwest One" report. This report is judged on its communication style about work culture, business ethics, community investment and environmental impact of the airline.}, language = {en} }
