This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the first two essays study the role of CSR in the alliance context, the third essay will examine how firms' institutional isomorphic efforts influence the CSR-performance relationship. The panel data analysis with over 21,000 firm-year samples indicates that the firm's CSR isomorphic processes enhance the positive CSR-performance relationship. However, the firm's passive strategy to match industry average CSIR further worsens the negative CSIR-performance relationship. The decrease in the industrial ethical norm (industry average growth in CSIR) amplifies the negative impact of CSIR. I hope this dissertation provides meaningful and practical suggestions to academics and practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate Social Responsibility: Definition, Core Issues and Recent Developments offers a well-structured and thorough introduction to corporate social responsibility (CSR). Author Brent D. Beal introduces the basic concept of CSR, briefly discusses the challenges of defining it, and summarizes important conceptual models. CSR is examined in the context of the perfect competition market model, market failure, and social dilemmas. Three different types of CSR—systemic, strategic, and philanthropic—are highlighted. Finally, arguments both for and against CSR are outlined and several conceptual frames are proposed. Readers are encouraged to think about what businesses should be responsible for in society and how a society’s economic system should be structured, bounded, and ultimately, controlled. This text is appropriate for any business course in which the introduction of CSR would complement other course content.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume examine the emergence of the concept of corporate social responsibility, and the uses that have been made of the language of corporate responsibility to explore the business/society relationship. The first section traces the emergence of the concept of corporate social responsibility as a way of understanding and framing the business/society relationship. Section two of the volume looks at "Definitions and ethical justifications" with a view to exploring current discussions of the nature, scope and source of the social responsibilities of corporations. Section three, "CSR and Management: Critical Reflections", explores the integration of CSR theories and justifications into business management and business management theories. Articles in the final section of the volume apply the concept of corporate social responsibility, and the theoretical frameworks and analytical tools to which it has given rise, to the examination and resolution of specific social issues arising out of the economic activities of corporations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation explores the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices on the firm and contributes to an understanding of how CSR practices can contribute to companies' competitive advantage. In Chapter 1, I use three randomized field experiments implemented in online labor marketplaces to provide causal evidence of the effect of CSR on employee outcomes that have been shown to be critical to firm performance: salary requirements and employee performance. Workers were recruited for short-term jobs and I manipulated whether or not they received information about the employer's CSR program. I then observed the payment workers were willing to accept for the job and their performance on the job. Surveys administered at the end of the experiments gauging workers' perceptions about the received CSR information also provide insight into the distinct mechanisms through which CSR affects the different employee outcomes. This paper contributes to an understanding of how CSR adds value to the firm and highlights the role of the employee in explaining this relationship. It also demonstrates how online labor markets can be used as settings for field experimental research in strategic management more broadly. In Chapter 2, we examine pro bono work in the legal services industry. Using a screening model we show that law firms use pro bono engagements to gain information about associates' expected productivity as an equity partner. Using a dataset of the top 200 US law firms in 2010 we demonstrate empirical support for our model's predictions. Our findings thus suggest that the conventional wisdom that CSR practices are used to provide information about the quality of the firm to the employee is backwards; rather, we find that pro bono engagements are used to provide information about the quality of the employee to the firm. In Chapter 3, we explore what drives firms to combine poor environmental performance with communication about positive environmental performance, resulting in "greenwashing". Although some explanation of firm greenwashing has been put forth, a comprehensive analysis of the determinants of firm greenwashing is lacking. Drawing from existing work in management, strategy, sociology and psychology, we propose a comprehensive framework that examines the external (both institutional and market), organizational and individual drivers of greenwashing and then use this framework to develop recommendations for managers, policymakers, and NGOs to decrease greenwashing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive overview of sustainability and management in India and through its insightful essays highlights the complex and multifaceted nature of sustainability as a concept. It also demonstrates the debates surrounding the concept of sustainability and its ramifications for ground-level practice in managing organisations and for public policy. The contributions from sustainability enthusiasts, practitioners from disparate fields and academics working at the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta, have been divided into five themes: (1) sustainability as a normative concept; (2) sustainability concept at the global level, (3) sustainability practices in Indian organisations and consumer behaviour; (4) sustainability, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility and (5) sustainability: a critique of organisational practice and government regulation. The themes reflect both new and continuing issues confronting management in the country today. Examples and in-depth studies make it relevant to the grounded reality in India. The expertise and experience of the contributors ensure that readers are left with a grasp of our current understanding of how sustainability is related to society and business, the direction this understanding will take in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevailing aspiration of business is performance, while that of society is progress. Capitalism, both the paradigm and practice, sits at the intersection of these dual aspirations, and the essays in this volume explore its fraught status there. Contributions to this volume address questions such as (i) what's the problem with capitalism?; (ii) is the problem just with the practice or with the very paradigm?; (iii) what is progress and who is responsible for it?; (iv) what evolution is required at the individual, system, and paradigm level so that enterprises and the executives who lead them may better integrate performance with progress?; and (v) whither consumers, employees, and investors in this evolution? The book offers perspectives from two distinct intellectual domains-social science and philosophy. Scholars in social science (including economics, management, and sociology) tend to study performance. Ideas of progress, on the other hand, tend to fall more under the purview of philosophers (in particular social and political philosophers). Further, to obtain an insider's view on practice and possibilities, the volume includes essays from a handful of thoughtful business leaders. Research should consider not just how to make sustainability profitable, but also how to make profitability and the modern economic system sustainable. If we are to better comprehend why the world is in protest, to reflect on progress or dilemmas of trust, we must appreciate the tenuous assumptions of modern microeconomics and markets, and hear from modern philosophers about the basis and limits of rationality.

Book excerpt: In three essays, I examine several facets of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Essay 1 (chapter 1) proposes that alliance network structures can have an effect on the CSR performance of firms. Further, the gender and inside/outside status of directors are also shown to be extremely relevant to the CSR performance of a firm. Overall, essay 1 demonstrates how a variety of factors can influence the CSR output of a firm. Essay 2 (chapter 2) examines pollution as a strategic choice. Given that firms choose to pollute at a given level, I examine how that choice influences the level of CSR in other, non-environmental dimensions by the same firm. Competing hypotheses (both predicting a curvilinear relationship) are tested. The results demonstrate that firms that pollute significantly more or less than the norm are likely to do less non-environmental CSR than firms that pollute closer to the average. Overall this essay contributes by specifying pollution as a strategic choice, and demonstrates how that choice can influence other CSR choices. Finally, essay 3 (chapter 3) examines the phenomenon known as forced ranking in firms. CSR, broadly defined, does examine employee relations. While factors examined are usually employee ownership, etc., an argument could be made to include other HR policies that affect employee morale and cooperation (such as forced ranking). A theoretical essay, this essay proposes three possible responses by managers to being placed under a forced ranking regime, with the majority of those responses classifiable as unintended consequences for firms. Further effects are examined by discussing the effect of these choices on team mental models. This essay contributes by examining the possible unintended consequences to firms by implementing forced ranking, most prominently the potential introduction of managerial deviance.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our thesis examines corporate social responsibility (CSR) and how it is linked to a firm's economic and financial performance, as well as socially responsible investment (SRI). With the current environmental and economic uncertainty, these issues are attracting increasing interest. Our thesis is organized in four chapters. Chapter 1 is a literature review on CSR and SRI. We propose an interdisciplinary review of the academic literature in both economics and management sciences (ethics applied to business, strategy and finance). Chapter 2 is an empirical analysis of the relationship between CSR and a firm's financial performance in terms of cost of capital. We look at the impact of publishing an evaluation of the firm's involvement in CSR on the liquidity of its stocks and the size of its investor base. Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 are analyses of the characteristics of SRI portfolios built according to new allocation methodologies. We analyze how risk-based allocations impact the performance of the portfolios of financial products of issuers involved in CSR, and reciprocally, how a universe of investment composed of the financial products of issuers involved in CSR impacts the properties of these alternative allocations.

This book was released on 2023-01-06 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within three individual essays, this thesis deals with collaborative and confrontational approaches by NPOs towards companies, and the role these play with respect to corporate responsibility. By drawing on social movement theory, nonprofit-business collaboration literature as well as legitimacy theory, it advances our knowledge regarding two topics: First, this thesis provides answers to the question how successful collaborative and confrontational approaches are individually at influencing households' judgements of companies and of NPOs themselves. Second, it extends our knowledge of interactions between these approaches. With respect to individual effects, this thesis demonstrates that both collaborative and confrontational approaches by NPOs exert a significant effect on households' legitimacy evaluations of companies and subsequently their consumption intentions. Legitimacy also appears as important underlying factor influencing households' support for NPOs, with collaborative NPOs enjoying higher legitimacy and thus support from households than confrontational ones. Concerning interactions between these two types of approaches, this thesis finds confirmation for previous suggestions that contrasting NPO approaches interplay - but demonstrates that such interactions clearly present a double-edged sword. By simultaneously focusing their approach on the same company, both types of NPO suffer a loss in their ability to influence households' perceptions of companies in the way they envision as well as their capability of attaining resources. However, if such approaches are applied sequentially, the picture of these interaction-effects become more positive. These results indicate that NPOs with different approaches towards companies are well advised to work together in a strategic manner in order to maximize their success.

This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory and practice of corporate citizenship and CSR have many alternative perspectives to the business-as-usual gaze. The essays in this volume encapsulate the essence of these alternative ideas and embrace the idea that progressive ways and means of this century do not lie in mainstream capitalist thinking. These pieces ask critical questions about the way we see the relationship between capitalism, business models and society – a subject not often discussed in non-academic literature. Globalization and Corporate Citizenship: The Alternative Gaze features contributions and new analysis from Klaus M. Leisinger, Chris Laszlo, David Coopperrider, Simon Zadek, Sandra Waddock and others. This title is one of a two-volume set – a collection of seminal and thought-provoking essays, drawn from the Journal of Corporate Citizenship’s archive, accompanied by new analysis and reflection from the original authors. Written by some of the most widely recognized academic and business pioneers and leaders of the corporate responsibility and global sustainability movement, the volumes make essential reference texts for anyone interested in the radically awakening new global political economy.

Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Business Ethics, Corporate Ethics, grade: 1,7, University of Cooperative Education (International Business Administration), course: -, 30 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: In recent years, a great concern about the broad impacts of business on society has evolved. As a result, this concern has transformed into the responsibility business has to society. Accordingly, companies see their actions more and more monitored by the public, on both national and international level. Thus, their role within society is gaining importance, being considered a creative and institutional one, instead of only existential. Apart from that, this results in a growing interaction between the government, business and the stakeholder. In the past, business' primary concern was the economic situation, whereas today, business has to consider the legal, ethical, moral and social impact of its decisions as well. This leads to the assumption that in the near future, it will not be possible to conduct business without acting socially responsible. This development is closely connected to the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility, which is the subject of this paper. Concerning the selection of secondary literature, apart from both English and German books, several articles from business magazines have been included in the research. At first, this paper will provide an overview of the current emergence of CSR as an essential part of daily business. However, the focus lies on the effects of CSR on an organization's core business. In Germany, for instance, while acknowledging their social responsibility, companies are still far away from making CSR part of their core business strategy. This paper will discuss the possibility of how embedding CSR in a firm's strategy can lead to business success. In addition, a potential link between competitive advantage and C
