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.

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.

Book excerpt: Essay three concerns the evaluation and selection of opportunities by socially oriented entrepreneurs. Utilizing a conjoint methodology this paper finds three attributes of social opportunities which significantly influence potential opportunity ratings; namely, proximity, pervasiveness, and impact. A significant interaction between financial returns and pervasiveness but not proximity and impact suggests SEs are conscious of economic concerns and will select opportunities that satisfy both conditions but only in certain instances. The paper concludes that the relationship between social and financial value creation is more complex than previously thought.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has many merits. It will make fascinating reading for the increasing number of organizational scholars who wonder how organizational research can engage more in accounting for the impact of corporations on their environment in a broad sense. Bahar Ali Kazmi, Bernard Leca and Philippe Naccache, Organization Studies This book is for those who will enjoy a thoughtful and informative monograph that acutely summarises and refreshes critique from a political and sociological perspective. It is a comprehensive re-interpretation of the corporate world and the evidently meretricious regime of CSR which makes it an enjoyable compendium for critical management studies fans . . this erudite volume will be valuable to mainstream, social science academics either involved in (or dismissive of) CSR and sustainability discourses in management education and research. David Bevan, Scandinavian Journal of Management Banerjee s book is thought provoking and must be read. But it should be read not only by corporate social responsibility scholars but by all business scholars. It is through Banerjee s provocations that we can understand the shortcomings of corporate systems and the boundaries of corporate social responsibility. Pratima Bansal, Administrative Science Quarterly This is a tour de force that carefully assembles and incisively interrogates perhaps the most pressing problem of our age: how to harness the resources of corporations to tackle global problems of poverty, oppression and environmental degradation? Banerjee does not present us with glib pronouncements or simplistic fixes. Instead, he brilliantly illuminates the scale of the challenges and lucidly assesses the relevance and value of CSR responses to date. Hugh Willmott, University of Cardiff, UK Bobby Banerjee takes on the popular mythologies of neo-liberal corporate social responsibility with enviable flair and a thoroughness of scholarship that will dismay its apologists. His critique extends from the origins of the modern corporation and its well-known abuses and excesses to far harder targets the more attractive alternatives that have been developed for theory and practice that, as Banerjee shows brilliantly, only serve to mask continuing neo-colonial abuses. Banerjee is not content simply to expose the impossibilities of doing good works whilst maximizing shareholder value, the win-win view of CSR, but he bites the bullet with some uncompromising but realistic proposals for the future reconstruction of CSR both as a field of study and as a business practice. We have needed this exposure of the bad and the ugly for a long time. The current versions of CSR are simply just not good enough. Stephen Linstead, University of York, UK Banerjee pulls the beguiling mask off corporate social responsibility. Taking the vantage point of the world s poor, he shows CSR to be a cruel hoax corporations cynical effort to undermine growing demands for economic and environmental justice. Paul S. Adler, University of Southern California, US This book problematizes the win-win assumption underlying discourses of CSR and suggests that it is a rhetoric that is invariably subordinated to that of corporate rationality. Rather than see CSR as providing the means to transform corporations by advocating a stakeholder view of the firm it argues that CSR represents an ideological movement designed to consolidate the power of transnational corporations and provide a veneer of liberality to the illiberal economic agenda of the major global institutions. Stewart Clegg, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia Professor Banerjee offers us a refreshing analysis of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in an otherwise comparatively turgid literary landscape. People may disagree with his criticism that because of its preoccupation with shareholder value, the corporation is an inappropriate agent for social change but it is backed up by strong theoretical and substantive empirical

This book was released on 2023-03-10 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Top managers have a significant impact on organizations because they are responsible for the formulation and implementation of corporate strategies, have the visibility and influence to shape the opinions of internal and external stakeholders, and coin the culture of their organizations, affecting employees at every level of the organization. Research has focused on the drivers and consequences of top managers' actions, with a particular focus on executive compensation, but important questions remain unanswered. This dissertation contributes to the literature on top executives by examining the antecedents of executive compensation, the influence of executive compensation on executive behavior, and the interplay of executive compensation and top executive personality. The first study introduces the role of compensation benchmarking for determining executive compensation to the management literature. It finds that benchmarking leads to compensation convergence. The second study examines the impact of executive compensation complexity on firm performance. The results show that compensation complexity is negatively related to accounting-based, market-based, and ESG-based metric of firm performance. The third study explores the implications of relative performance evaluation (RPE) on the imitation behavior of firms. It finds that the introduction of RPE is positively related to the imitation of the strategic actions of peer firms. The fourth study contributes to the growing literature on the impact of corporate social performance (CSP) goals in CEO contracts. Specifically, it examines how and when CSP incentives influence the CEO's attention to corporate social responsibility topics. The final essay examines the role of CEO personality; it finds that differences in CEO personality explain differences in the level of strategic conformity. Taken together, the essays in this dissertation make a significant contribution to the scholarly discourse on the influence of top managers on their companies. The empirical evidence presented expands the current understanding of how top executives affect strategic firm behaviors, and it provides insights for policymakers, managers, and investors.

Book excerpt: In the first essay, we study whether the increasingly large and concentrated ownership stakes by passive investors influence shareholders activism in the form of shareholder proposals. We find a positive association between passive ownership and the total number of proposals initiated, proposals with different types of sponsors, the rate of proposal withdrawal, vote-for percentage, and finally 1-year abnormal returns following the annual meeting date at which time the proposals were put forth. To mitigate endogeneity concerns, we use the Russell reconstitution as an exogenous shock. Our findings highlight the ability and power that passive investors have to affect corporate policy by supporting fellow shareholder sponsored proposals.In the second essay, we investigate the effectiveness of shareholder voice. In 2017, The Big Three institutional investors launched campaigns to increase gender diversity on corporate boards. We estimate that their campaigns led firms to add at least 2.5 times as many female directors in 2019 as they had in 2016 and to promote female directors to key board positions. Firms increased female representation by relying less on managers existing networks to identify candidates and by placing less emphasis on candidates executive experience. Our results highlight index investors ability to influence firms governance structures and shareholder advocacy's potential to expand women's participation in corporate leadership more extensively than government mandates. In the third essay, we examine whether and how local religiosity has an impact on corporate attitude towards corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities and how CSR activities directly impact firm value. Employing an extensive US sample from 1991 to 2015, we find that firms headquartered in more religious regions undertake a greater level of CSR activities. Furthermore, the CSR activities of firms located in highly religious regions are positively valued in the stock markets as we observe a positive association between CSR and Tobin's Q for the companies that are headquartered in high religious regions. The association is stronger when firms are less visible to non-local investors. This study enriches the emerging literature on the influence of local cultural factors on corporate behavior and encourages future research on the various aspects of how the local environment impacts firms ethical behaviors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in business strategy? More specifically, how does CSR engagement influence firms’ strategic behaviors? While the idea of CSR has started gaining traction back in the 1960s, the dominant line of inquiry tends to focus on providing justifications for CSR activities. The rapid changes in technology along with the continuous push toward globalization over the last thirty years have not only brought the world closer together but have also changed the basic fabric of our socio-institutional conditions. The firms in the modern society can no longer claim that they only have the fiduciary duty to the shareholders. Indeed, social and institutional stakeholders have increasingly demanded the firms to not only meet their economic objectives but also to satisfy other socio-institutional expectations including CSR engagement. Thus, CSR activities may influence not only the firms’ relationships with the external environment but also the internal organizational environment. Such influence may have profound impact on the firms’ strategic behaviors; yet our understanding is rather cursory. Endeavoring to join this scholarly discourse, this dissertation includes three separate essays that explore the strategic drivers and consequences of CSR engagement. Specifically, the first essay (Chapter 1) examines the influence of CSR engagement on internal corporate governance practices by asking the question: Are socially responsible firms more likely to appoint woman and minority CEOs? The second essay (Chapter 2) expands the scope of inquiry by investigating whether differences in stakeholder orientation as reflected in differences in CSR engagement between alliance partners may reduce the effectiveness of alliances as a value creation strategy. Lastly, the third essay (Chapter 3) explores how firms in different institutional environments (the United States vs. China) may choose diverging paths in using CSR engagement to ensure continuing collaboration of critical stakeholders. Taken together, these essays contribute to a better understanding of how CSR engagement may influence firm strategic behaviors as well as the changing roles and expectations of the firms in modern society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this project is to detail the core, defining principles of strategic CSR that differentiate it as a concept from the rest of the CSR/sustainability/business ethics field. It is designed to be a provocative piece, but one that solidifies the intellectual framework around an emerging concept--strategic CSR.The foundation for these principles comes from my perspective as a management professor within the business school. As such, it is a pragmatic philosophy, oriented around stakeholder theory, that is designed to persuade business leaders who are skeptical of existing definitions and organizing principles of CSR, sustainability, or business ethics. It is also designed to stimulate thought within the community of intellectuals and business school administrators committed to these issues, but who approach them from more traditional perspectives. Ultimately, therefore, the purpose of the strategic CSR concept (and this book) is radical--it aims to redefine both business education and business practice. By building a theory that defines CSR as core to business operations and value creation (as opposed to peripheral practices that can be marginalized within the firm), these defining principles become applicable across the range of operational functions. As such, they redefine how businesses approach these functions in practice, but also redefine how these subjects should be taught in business schools.
