This paper deals with the corporate disclosure and therefore the option to predict the corporate disclosure through combining financial and non-financial information. In this paper, we study the corporate disclosure characteristics by investigating the predictability strength of specific financial performance indicators and corporate social responsiblity (CSR) related information. The sample of this research contains 58 organizations that had been awarded the label of the CSR in Morocco. A content analysis of corporate websites, financial statements and annual reports are used for each organization. Based on corporate disclosure content, two groups are constructed. We use four financial indicators for measuring the performance (financial information) and particular CSR related information (non-financial information) for these two groups. The discriminant analysis highlights to what extend specific information could predict the nature corporate disclosure content. As results, these indicators and information show different levels of ability to predict corporate disclosure content. Our findings, when confronted to the literature, explicit convergences about the predictability of corporate disclosure content.

Abstract:In this paper we examine the effects of different competitive conditions on the determination and evaluation of strategies of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Although the mainstream of current thinking in business ethics recognizes that a firm should invest in social responsibility, the normative theory on how specific competitive conditions affect a firm’s social responsibility remains underdeveloped. Intensity of competition, risks to reputation and the regulatory environment determine the competitive conditions of a firm. Our central thesis is that differential strength of competition produces differential moral legitimacy of firm behavior. When competition is fierce or weak, different acts or strategies become morally acceptable, as well as economically rational. A firm has to develop its own strategy of social responsibility, in light of its competitive position, as well as ethical considerations.

Full textAbstract:
Enterprises are part of society they function in; therefore, they must, besides the implementation of economic objectives, pay attention to the impact they have on society and environment i.e., they should act responsibly. Corporate social responsibility involves the execution of all tasks in the enterprise in socially acceptable manner, with respect of: economic, legal, ethical principles, with volunteer participation of the enterprise in solving social and environmental problems. In Serbia, only relatively small number of enterprises broadens their economic objectives with socio-environmental objectives and get involved in solving social problems. As a consequence, there are a large number of social problems that have a reverse negative impact on an enterprise?s business. For problems to be solved, it is necessary for the enterprise to pay attention to the impact of its business activity on society, for the state to, with different programs and measures, promote and support responsible business activity of the enterprise. The measures that can incite socially responsible business activity of enterprises in Serbia will be discussed in the paper. The aim of the paper is to, incite and develop socially responsible business activity that will lead to gradual solving of certain social problems (such as corruption, poverty, violence, different modes of disturbance), by using experience and good business practice of developed European countries.

Full textAbstract:
Sustainability reporting, renowned as an instrument for businesses to communicate how they function more efficiently and responsibly within the social and physical environment, while simultaneously remaining profitable, has evolved in an up-and-coming trend by businesses. In addition, this leads to integrated reporting, which implies that a business strategy, performance, risk and sustainability are inseparable from one another. The International Year of Co-operatives (2012), with the theme Co-operative Enterprises Build a Better World, recognises that co-operatives, in their range of forms, support the fullest participation in the social and economic development of people. Co-operatives also have the remarkable opportunity to grow everywhere for the reason that modern society needs their role and initiatives.This article considers to what extent the GRI guidelines, as a reporting framework, are feasible or applicable to co-operatives as a business model. The selected agricultural co-operative (Agri-Com) is used in the form of a case study, where the GRIs Sustainability Reporting Guidelines are applied to its activities. This study found that the co-operative business model performed admirably well under these guidelines and suggests that the co-operative business model is very relevant in the modern business environment.

This paper explores how consumers’ perceptions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) influence their attitude and purchase intention in Vietnam. The study used a quantitative approach in which a survey was conducted. Among many respondents, the final 222 responses from various respondents across Vietnam were utilized in this paper. Key findings from this study are as follows. First, consumers (one stakeholder) are one key motive for organizations to become engaged in CSR. Second, consumers have a strong interest in an organization that they perceive to be responsible for its workers and community. Third, the concept of CSR in Vietnam is rooted in business and ethics, reflecting that Vietnamese consumers want business organizations to behave responsibly. On balance, the findings imply that CSR is influenced by the context in which it is practiced. Consumers expect business organizations to take their social responsibilities seriously, in line with the expectations of Vietnamese society.

Abstract This article explores whether, how and which forms of corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives influence consumer perceptions of the value of and intention to buy responsibly manufactured yogurt, and identifies the impact of the price rise effect on consumer responses. An experimental study was conducted using scenarios with a sample of 421 university students. The results indicate that information about positive corporate behavior evokes higher perceived value and buying intention than information about negative corporate behavior; that responses differ significantly depending on whether or not the CSR initiative relates to the firm's core business; and that there is a level of consumer sensitivity to the price premium for a responsibly made yogurt. This study expands existing knowledge beyond previous areas of focus by demonstrating that a CSR initiative related to a firm's core business generates higher perceived value and buying intention than a non-related initiative, and by showing that there exists a trade-of between functional and social attributes. The findings of this study may be of interest to companies by showing the level of premium price acceptance and by demonstrating that CSR initiatives detached from basic business activity may bring negative consequences in terms of sales volume.

Full textAbstract:
The integration of the social, economic, and environmental dimension of business into day-to-day business operations is a basic feature of corporate social responsibility. The new millennium saw the concept of social responsibility introduced in the Serbian banking sector. Originally perceived as a risky and intriguing phenomenon, today it is an indispensable part of many Serbian banks' business. For this reason, the aim of the research is to assess the level of implementation of corporate social responsibility in the Serbian banking sector. The sample consisted of a number of active and systemically important banks in the Republic of Serbia. We examined the propensity of Serbian banking entities to behave responsibly towards the community, the environment, their employees, investors, clients, and suppliers. For the purpose of this research, descriptive statistics, analysis and synthesis techniques, and a detailed analysis of scientific publications by Serbian and foreign authors from the relevant field were used. The results supported the premise that the Serbian banking sector exhibits a high level of implementation of socially responsible behavior, with a tendency towards further growth. This business behavior, generally speaking, indirectly affects corporate performance, stakeholder loyalty, and the reputation of the financial institutions.

The EPI (European Payment Index) reflects the debt risk of corporations in each EU country. This index is widely used for evaluation of the ability of a business to settle with market participants. This article seeks to identify the impact of the EPI on national macroeconomic and social indicators in order to assess the impact made by late payments among business units on the economy of Lithuania. The findings reveal the macroeconomic and social indicators that are most affected by the EPI. Correlation and regression analysis helps to find causal relationships and allows the risks of financial processes in enterprises to be assessed; to reform the national tax system responsibly; and to find appropriate financial instruments to manage late payment threats.

Full textAbstract:
In the current rapidly changing, complex and multi-faceted business context companies face a diverse range of challenges on a daily basis such as financial performance pressures combined with the increasing expectations from societies that companies act more responsibly with relation to social and environmental aspects. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and Sustainable development (SD) are not new concepts and are some of the most widely recognized and used business concepts today. It seems that the implementation of both CSR and SD is needed in a modern and global business context. Although CSR and SD are regarded as different concepts, there is a clear overlap, interrelationship and interconnectedness between these concepts. It seems advantageous to at a practical level implement CSR and SD simultaneously as the tridimensional view of SD mimics the tridimensional view of CSR. It is acknowledged that although SD and CSR both include a tridimensional view and they are closely connected, there are different conceptual nuances. This paper provides an overview of the differences and similarities between CSR and SD and describes practical guidelines to implement CSR and SD simultaneously

Abstract The critical system analysis of the current status of all areas of human activity on the planet Earth (in Europe and the Slovak Republic) convinces us, that this development is unsustainable. Many prominent personalities of scientific, cultural, social and political life stated that our planet Earth and mankind with it, and all that man has created during its existence is only one step finds itself on the brink of disaster and it will turn against man. Many theoretical concepts, based on the historical development and experience notes that this status is natural and inevitable. However, we hold a different opinion. If the man is team, that is declared, it must show (now at the turning point) themselves and future generations, that it thinks with its existence on planet Earth seriously and responsibly. Given by the current global crisis and also our belief that the fundamental problem of humanity is unfair creation and distribution of wealth on planet Earth, we maintain opinion for changing the paradigm of thinking in this area. As the only alternative for solving this problem we see in the application of the concept of sustainable corporate social responsibility. The article presents our idea.

Abstract In the framework of the extended pragma-dialectical theory of argumentation, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reporting is approached in this study as a particular communicative activity type, which can be reconstructed as part of a critical discussion. CSR reports excerpts are viewed in the analysis as parts of a virtual critical discussion in which a company acts as a protagonist maneuvering strategically to defend the standpoint according to which the business is operated ethically, and to convince the audience about what is mentioned in the standpoint. The reconstructed standpoint of a CSR report, We are doing business responsibly, may be regarded as stereotypical, since it corresponds to the institutional point of this regulated type of communicative activity. In the first part of the study, a brief overview is given of the CSR reporting activity, then the concept of strategic maneuvering is presented, under its three aspects (topical potential, audience demand, and presentational techniques), as well as the notion of communicative activity type, with a highlight on the role of the (macro-)context and of institutional preconditions in analytical studies on argumentation. The analysis in the latter part of the study concerns presentational techniques used by the protagonist in the confrontation and in the argumentation stages in CSR reporting, in order to reconcile rhetorical and dialectical aims by maneuvering strategically. The coordinatively and the subordinatively compound structure of argumentation, the symptomatic argument scheme, as well as reformulations of the standpoint, use of emotionally endowed words, concentration of the arguments in the form of nominal sentences acting as headings are among the most important presentational devices constitutive of argumentative moves aimed at convincing the audience that the company acts ethically, but also at promoting a positive image of its business responsibility, which appears to be the ground for winning the discussion.

The subject of the study is methodological recommendation for assessing the consequences of the social responsibility introduction in the economic entities activities. The purpose of the article is a methodology formation for assessing the priority areas of social responsibility measures to achieve the desired success factors and its testing. Our aim was assessment of success factors from the introduction of activities on the basis of social responsibility. To achieve that goal we have identified socially oriented enterprises. The study was conducted on the basis of a survey of executive authorities. Sixty enterprises from twelve regions of Ukraine have been singled out, and their management representatives have become experts in assessing the priority areas of social responsibility management based on external vectors. External vectors such as: responsibility to the community, responsibility for the preservation of the environment and resources, responsibility to state fiscal authorities and the state were considered; responsibility to buyers and customers, responsibility to suppliers and partners. Vectors of social responsibility implementation based on the Sustain Ability matrix have been identified, which lead to the maximum effect for the enterprise. Measures or amounts of social investment in each area of social responsibility will be selected by management, depending on the purpose and capabilities of the enterprise, taking into account their priority. Using the method of analysis of hierarchies, namely the method of pairwise comparisons, success factors that are important for domestic businesses are identified. In particular, experts gave preference to such success factors as: increasing the productivity of the enterprise; cost reduction; the possibility of diversification of markets. Incomes growth and formation of a positive image of the enterprise can also be considered as important factor. Using the results of the research will encourage the management of enterprises to conduct business socially responsibly and use those measures that they believe will have the greatest impact on success.

Full textAbstract:
Nuo šio šimtmečio pradžios socialinės atsakomybės tema yra viena jautriausių tiek komunikacijos, tiek verslo srityse: įmonių vadovai, politikai, ekonomistai, mokslininkai svarsto socialinės atsakomybės veiklos apibrėžtis, teikiamą naudą verslui ar visuomenei. Diskusijose galima pastebėti kelis socialinės atsakomybės veiklos svarstymo aspektus: mados (atsakomybė visuomet buvo viena iš verslo siekiamybių ir veiklos pagrindų, todėl jos išryškinimas gali būti siejamas su tam tikra mada), būtinybės (kuri gali kilti dėl kitų verslo organizacijų aktyvios socialinės atsakomybės veiklos arba dėl visuomenės diktuojamo atitinkamos veiklos poreikio), galimi ir kiti požiūriai. Socialinės atsakomybės svarstymuose dažnai iškyla klausimas apie socialinės atsakomybės naudą verslui, apie apskaičiuojamą galimą socialinės atsakomybės grąžą verslui, kuriamą teigiamą įvaizdį ar reputaciją. Verslo organizacijos, siekdamos komunikuoti vykdomą socialiai atsakingą veiklą, tam pasitelkia įvairius renginius, ataskaitas, o dažniausiai – interneto svetaines. Šiame straipsnyje aptarsime ne tik anksčiau įvardytus diskusinius socialinės atsakomybės veiklos aspektus, bet ir ištirsime bei nusakysime galimus verslo organizacijų socialinės atsakomybės komunikacijos aspektus, išryškindami esmines akcentuojamas socialinės atsakomybės sritis. Straipsniu siekiama ne tik paskatinti kritinę diskusiją apie socialinės atsakomybės naudą ir būtinybę verslo organizacijų veikloje ir komunikacijoje, bet ir pažiūrėti, kaip socialinės atsakomybės veikla atsispindi organizacijų interneto svetainėse, su kokiais verslo ar organizacijos veiklos aspektais siejamas socialiai atsakingų veiklų pristatymas. Straipsnio tikslas ir sprendžiama problema formuluojami remiantis 2012 m. lapkričio–gruodžio mėnesiais atlikto Lietuvos organizacijų, priklausančių Baltosios bangos iniciatyvai „Už skaidrų verslą“, interneto svetainių turinio, atskleidžiančio organizacijų pristatomą socialinę atsakomybę, tyrimo ir straipsnio autorės 2013 m. kovą–balandį atlikto tyrimo, kuris papildė ir praplėtė ankstesnį tyrimą, duomenimis.Reikšminiai žodžiai: socialinė atsakomybė, organizacijų komunikacijos procesas, organizacijų veiklos etika, interneto svetainės.Communication of corporate social responsibility in Lithuanian organizations’ websitesRenata Matkevičienė Summary Since the beginning of this century, social responsibility has been one of the most sensitive topics in both communication and business areas, and business leaders as well as politicians, economists, scientists consider the social responsibility activities of the benefits for business or the public. Business organizations communicate socially responsible activities by using a variety of communication events, reports, and mostly websites of business organizations. This article aims to discuss not only the aspects of social responsibility, but also to examine and describe the potential of social responsibility communication in business organizations, highlighting the key areas of social responsibility. The article is aimed not only to encourage a critical discussion about the benefits of social responsibility and the need for business organizations and communications, but also to see how the social responsibility of business is reflected in organizations’ websites and presented to stakeholders. Business organizations’ social responsibility is generally associated with the activities of the organization, which aims to act responsibly: in accordance with the law, creating comfortable working conditions for employees, ensuring profitability – in collaboration with colleagues and local community as well as providing services to clients. Socially responsible activities have been associated not only with responsible activities, but also with commitments harming the surrounding environment, taking into account that socially responsible activities are voluntary, i.e. based on an organization’s desire to be a responsible, honest, trustworthy member of society not because of business requirements, but also for the organization’s internal needs based on corporate culture. Social responsibility of a business organization not only strengthens it because it involves employees and other groups of stakeholders in the organization’s activities, but it also provides an added value to the organization as a competitive advantage. In the article, there were formulated several tasks for communicating organizations’ social responsibility: to provide information, to impact the value or behavioural change. For the communication of social responsibility, organizations use controlled and as well non-controlled communication, and these forms of communication should be integrated to reach the aim of communication. Organizations’ websites are a controlled communication means, but they could be important for providing explicit information about the organization’s socially responsible activities. For this reason, an investigation of communication in the websites of Lithuanian business organiations that have joined the initiative of transparent business was conducted. Organizations communicate their social responsibility by presenting codes of ethics, standards, and other formal commitments which show that the organization is a responsible member of society. There were found differences in the communication of social responsibility in Lithuanian (local) and in international organizations: international organizations provide not only statements on the social responsibility of an organization, but also codes of ethics, CSR reports, presentations and videos of the projects, etc. Organizations use one-sided communication for the presentation of social responsibility in their websites, and tools for two-sided communication were notes used in many of the websites for communicating social responsibility. On the basis of this finding, the presupposition that organizations use other forms and means for communicating social responsibility was made, because the social responsibility activities carried out by an organization not only show the organization’s responsibility, but also allow linking the organization with certain practices and values, create an added value by increasing the visibility of the organization as a responsible member of the local community, developing and enhancing the organization’s reputation and ensuring its competitive advantage.

AbstractThe ever increasing nexus between human rights and business and the accompanying vagueness of concepts such as a company's ‘sphere of responsibility’ for human rights can, and has, created anxiety amongst companies. Considerations of human rights traditionally take place in the context of a state-based system of global governance; however, the rise of the corporation as a powerful non-state actor in recent decades has seen increased interest in understanding the emerging relationship between human rights and business and what, if any, responsibility business should assume for protecting human rights. This article considers the role played by U.S. technology companies such as Yahoo, Google and Microsoft in working with the Chinese government to censor internet content and thus intrude on the human rights to freedom of expression and opinion and the right to privacy. It concludes by focusing on the practicalities of protection and how human rights responsibilities might be apportioned between states and business and if so, how, when and why such an obligation might ensue.

Full textAbstract:
During the past decade there has emerged, in North America and Western Europe in particular, a fairly powerful movement to improve the social and environmental performance of large corporations and their affiliates and suppliers in developing countries. By examining the case of Indonesia, this paper looks at how effective this approach has been. Two central questions are addressed. First, do corporate social responsibility (CSR) and accompanying voluntary initiatives have the capacity to change the day-to-day behaviour of TNCs? Second, at this stage of its development, and in the context of crisis, is corporate social responsibility relevant to Indonesia?The discussion on codes of conduct presents both civil society and TNC perspectives on the implementation, achievements and limitations of such initiatives, codes are fundamentally flawed for several reasons: they may serve to place corporations outside of the national regulatory system and bypass the tripartite negotiation system that was one of the major labour reforms of recent years; the process and outcomes of monitoring are usually confidential; monitors usually only see one or two plants chosen by the client; monitoring is often done by accounting firms that have insufficient technical knowledge to deal with the often complex health and safety problems in production plants; sanctions for non-compliance are weak or non-existent; codes are usually designed in the head office, and rarely in consultation with trade unions or others; codes with lower technical specificity are often found in enterprises that are female dominated; codes only apply to a small proportion of a nation’s workers; and corporations often insist that affiliates and sub-contractors improve conditions but provide limited if any resources to support such change.When viewed in the context of culture, economic and political development, and turmoil in Indonesia, the author concludes that CSR remains an ideal. The current transformation is bringing instability, fear and violence. In such a context, it is hard to consider something as abstract as CSR. It is timely, however, to begin to put into place the institutions, educational foundations and management training which are needed for business and political reform, and from which CSR may be a spin-off. Any broader application of CSR needs to stem from an indigenous belief in the necessity of such an institution and not represent a mere shrug to another Western fashion. There is clearly a tension between those in the developing countries who see this as yet another imposition of Western values, no matter how attractive, and those in the developed nations who, put cynically perhaps, wish to consume with a conscience.While it is fair to say that CSR makes a positive contribution to the human rights of those working in TNCs, it is also fair to say that it only makes a difference to those few corporations targeted by consumers or who are already thinking ethically and responsibly. Other industries are not so well inclined. Such anomalies, and the somewhat piecemeal approach of the CSR movement, should alert global citizens to the need for a more systematic approach.That being said, the after-shock of the Indonesian economic crisis has required a re-evaluation of both economic and investment policy, and the way business is run in Indonesia. The previous short-term thinking may have to make way for the type of longer-term pragmatic and visionary thinking required by genuine CSR and supported by Islamic business principles. A lot will depend on how deep the reform process goes. There is a danger, however, that CSR and voluntary initiatives may be a diversion from the real issues of law reform and multilevel political and social development. While CSR may benefit a small minority of Indonesia's workers and those whose lives intersect with TNCs, the development of and adherence to a fair system of law and institutional reform would benefit all. Without such changes, CSR is likely to remain cosmetic.

One of the ways to eliminate the negative consequences of globalization is the sustainable growth paradigm, which practical approach to business activity is constituted by the concept of the corporate social responsibility (CSR). The corporate social responsibility is a process of getting to know and to implement the changing stakeholder expectations in the management strategy. It also involves monitoring the influence of such strategy on competitiveness and company value on the market. Since CSR is a voluntary commitment of businesses, "in the end people have such government and such economy that they want and - in a way - that they deserve". This is why what is extremely important when implementing CSR, apart from the commitment of businesses themselves, is for one thing the role of the society which pushes companies to act responsibly, and for another - the state which creates a proper social, economic and political order. All of the above encourage to the reflection on the model of economic order and on the system of social values, which should be compliant with the human nature as well as ensure economic equilibrium. The concept of CSR is based on the assumption that a synthesis of freedom and responsibility of business activities on the market with social fairness is possible. The CSR aims to create capitalism with a "human face" in which the market and competition would be a tool to achieve important social goals: freedom for individuals, well-being for all, solidarity towards the society, subsidiarity, equal opportunities and eliminating the effect of social exclusion of individuals. It is mainly for this reason that the concept of CSR appears to adequately correspond to the current demand for a long-term crisis therapy and for prevention of similar crisis in the future. The highest deficits of international financial markets, as well as the world's real economy, were and are still to be found nowhere else but in the rules of the game and in freedom of responsibility. Business entities, which are active on the market should therefore obey the generally accepted rules of business activity. According to P. Samuelson, capitalism needs rules of the game; it must have a trustworthy legal system. The lack of norms triggers people's irrepressible desire for wealth, also - or maybe even mostly - at the expense of others. In market economy the freedom of individual enterprisers implies taking responsibility. For freedom and responsibility these are two sides of the same coin. When an individual is not responsible for the freedom it has, then the economic order cannot function e+ectively either from the economic or social perspective. The debate on the economic order and policy of its creation was previously not as crucial as it is today. This is not only linked to the dificult challenges the modern economy and world currently face, but also to the world financial crisis, which started in 2007 in the USA and which effects on real economy became more and more visible at the turn of 2008 and 2009. For what caused the current world crisis in the first place was a lack of generally accepted rules of the game on international financial markets, or in the rare cases where these rules exist - clear reluctance to obey them, together with lack of responsibility for the almost unlimited freedom of decision-makers. Such deliberations become especially important in discussion regarding the twilight or even the collapse of nation states; discussion which has lasted for almost half a century and which has become especially vivid after the Cold War as a result of higher intensity of globalization processes. Globalization significantly affects the functioning of the state on its internal and external surface, its relations with other countries on the international arena. In the face of increasing civilization problems of the modern world arises the question about the meaning, role and duties of the state in the process of building the new order in conformity with the concept of the sustainable growth. The study tries to define the role of the state in implementing CSR concepts. (original abstract)

Organizations around the world are shifting from processes that exploit the environment towards environmentally friendly processes. Today, there is extreme enthusiasm among practitioners and academic researchers for green management. The fundamental factor of such enthusiasm is that people expect managers to utilize resources wisely and responsibly and make minimum use of air, water, minerals and other materials in the final product. Green management has certain significance on the normative or moral scale. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to collect data. The G* (where* represents general stand-alone nature of this application in statistical tests across social and behavioral research) power programme suggested a minimum of 43 observations assuming a significance level of 5 per cent, the effect size of 0.15 and a statistical power of 80 per cent with five predictors (Faul, Erdfelder, Buchner, & Lang, 2009, Behavioral Research Methods, 41(4), 1149–1160). A convenience purposive sampling technique was employed. The reliability of instrument was checked through values of Cronbach’s Alpha. The normality of data was checked through the Shapiro–Wilk test. The normality plot was used to find the outlier in collected data. Andrew Hayes’s methodology was employed to investigate the moderating role in the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) (Hayes, 2012, PROCESS: A versatile computational tool for observed variable mediation, moderation, and conditional process modeling, Lawrence, KS: University of Kansas). This study confirms the significant moderating role of green human resource management (GHRM) over the scale of the employees’ green behaviours (EGBs) and environmental sustainability. Going forward, researchers recommend more research like this, illuminating the role of GHRM activities in enhancing and perhaps even driving environmental management initiatives.

CG and CSR can be described as two sides of the same coin. Better governance leads the corporates to behave responsibly for the wellbeing of all the stakeholders. CSR is the medium through which corporates address the large group of stakeholders. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) moving far ahead from its age old domain of philanthropy and charity has now reached to a new hallmark of Corporate responsiveness and action to social issues and demand for sustainability in order to advance further towards a new era of collective future action for factoring the sustainable business strategy for good governance and development of the society and its people. The recent changing in the laws in India related to CSR and CG practices in India triggers this study to determine the relationship between them and also measure the influence of governance attributes on CSR practices of Indian corporates. The BSE SENSEX companies in India are the leaders in good governance practices and also the flag bearers in carrying out major CSR activities even when the CSR was not mandatory in India. The influence of corporate board attributes like Board Size, Board independent, Chairman-CEO duality, Female representative in corporate board, multiple directorships, and Promoter and directors shareholding on Corporate Social Responsibility measured through multiple regression analysis. The results revealed that chairman-CEO duality and the present of female directors in corporate board significantly influence of CSR contribution. Before generalization of the result of study further research could be undertaken taking a large group of Indian companies and wider corporate governance variables.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to show that the market-internalization framework can be applied to non-economic institutions because society’s non-market sub-systems – political, social and cultural – are subject to failures just like economic markets, and firms can contribute to their repair or replacement by selectively, strategically and responsibly internalizing the market and non-market arenas for these sub-systems’ functions. Design/methodology/approach – Internalization theory is applied to a new area – that of societal failures. Findings – Internalization theory can be applied to the joint failures of economic and non-economic institutions, and this helps explain the growing “political role” of multinational enterprises in economies in transition as well as the phenomenon of increasing multinational firm activity in underdeveloped economies. Research limitations/implications – The limits and implications of internalization are drawn in terms of theory development, legitimacy and managerial strategies. Originality/value – This paper is the first to analyze the selective internalization of societal failures by the multinational enterprises. It extends internalization theory and examines the contested notion of “public goods”.

Full textAbstract:
We argue the need for academics to resist and challenge the hegemonic discourse of sustainable development within the corporate context. Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory provides a useful framework for recognizing the complex nature of sustainable development and a way of conceptualizing counter-hegemonies. Published empirical research that analyzes sustainable development discourse within corporate reports is examined to consider how the hegemonic discourse is constructed. Embedded assumptions within the hegemonic construction are identified including sustainable development as primarily about economic development, progress, growth, profitability, and “responsibly” managed levels of resource depletion. We call for multiple voices in the discursive field to debate and to resist closure and highlight the possibilities for academic researchers to actively resist the hegemonic construction. Specifically, we advocate vigilance and awareness, critical and reflective analyses, challenge and resistance based on other frames of reference, and strategies for communicating both within and outside the academy.

Purpose Corporations are increasingly expected to act responsibly. The purpose of this paper is to examine two types of corporate responses to these expectations: overt and covert responses. Specifically, it examines oil companies’ involvement in multi-stakeholder initiatives and sponsorships (overt responses) and their monitoring of critics, including non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and activist organisations (covert responses). Design/methodology/approach Theoretically, the paper draws on theories of visibility and post-political regulation. Empirically, it focuses on case studies of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), Shell and BP, drawing on qualitative methods. Findings The paper demonstrates that overt responses create an impression of consensus between antagonistic interests and that covert responses support this impression by containing deep-seated conflicts. Research limitations/implications Corporate responses have implications for the role of the corporation as a (post-)political actor. By containing antagonism and creating an impression of consensus, the interplay between overt and covert responses open up further possibilities for the proliferation of soft governance and self-regulation through participation in voluntary transparency and corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. Data on covert practices of corporations are difficult to access. This impedes possibilities for fully assessing their extent. The findings of this paper support trends emerging from recent research on covert corporate intelligence practices, but more research is needed to provide a systematic overview. Originality/value The paper contributes to the understudied area of covert corporate activity in research on the political role of multinational corporations.

Full textAbstract:
In the social considerations of Benedict XVI, the point of reference was Christian anthropology. It is from its perspective that the Pope analyzed current social and political relations as well as economic relations prevailing in specific countries and in international relations. He recognized that these spheres of human existence must permeate ethics rooted in the personal and transcendent nature of individuals. This humanistic idea of morality gains special significance in the context of now visible atomization of societies, weaknesses of law in individual countries or dominance of soulless business, which ultimately fuel the global economic crisis. The Pope, therefore, saw the need to update this spiritual aspect of human existence in order to strengthen solidarity and subsidiarity in socio-economic relations, and to stimulate proper cooperation of the state with the economy on the local and supranational scale. He also noted that its principles allow people to realize their own potential responsibly, but also sensitize them to the needs of other individuals. In the Pope’s recognition, Christian ethics is in particular in the realities of the crisis to mobilize states, economic enterprises and international organizations to undertake joint activities for the general public good, without – at the same time – suppressing the activity of individuals and communities.

PurposeDrawing on social learning theory, the purpose of this paper is to explore the mediational effect of affective commitment on the relationship between responsible leadership and intention to quit.Design/methodology/approachThis study applied a two-step process of the structural equation modelling technique to test the proposed hypothesised model. A web-based survey was administered to collect data targeting a sample of 200 full-time Australian employees.FindingsThe results suggest that responsible leadership significantly influences employees’ affective commitment and their intention to quit. As predicted, both responsible leadership and affective commitment negatively influenced intention to quit. Notably, the direct influence of responsible leadership on intention to quit was found to be partially mediated by employees’ affective commitment.Practical implicationsThis study shows how leaders can expect to reduce employees’ intention to quit by leading responsibly through valuing employees’ affective commitment.Originality/valueThis study makes a unique contribution to responsible leadership literature by linking it with social learning theory. Moreover, there are only a handful of studies examining responsible leadership and its influence on employees’ behavioural outcomes. This study extends the limited understanding of responsible leadership and its relationship with affective commitment and intention to quit.

A great pressure has arisen lately in the business world by movements like occupy Wall Street, or more concerning economic crises started in 2008. Due to this pressure, companies have to be more careful and act more responsibly. In the recent years, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been seen like a panacea of all stakeholders problems, more and more reports of CSR being published on companies website. However, it has been proven that just to claim actions of social responsibility, does not mean those companies are truly responsible. As expected, this behavior is penalized by a part of stakeholders. In this context, for each firm is important to know which are the most representative stakeholders, and how a certain situation could affect this scale. For explaining this fact, this paper analyzes the case of Brent Spar, pointing how an industrial giant like Shell, using a wrong CSR policy, could lose both money and image capital. In order to do that, in the first part is discussed the CSR from the perspective of stakeholder theory. Although it is present since 1950s in the United States of America and evolved all over the world like an all known concept, CSR does not have yet an universally accepted definition. Therefore, in this article was stated a definition for CSR from the stakeholder theory approach, in order to understand the Brent Spar actions and implications. In the second part of the paper are analyzed the steps taken by both sides, on one hand by Shell and on the other, by some of the stakeholders. The actions have been explained from the CSR paradigm perspective. Finally, it is proved why Brent Spar is a case of CSR failed, and how, by neglecting of some stakeholders categories, a company could pay important costs. Moreover, the paper demonstrates that the image of one company, from a specific area, could affect the all industry field. Therefore, a proper identification of key stakeholders, a good communication with those and flexibility in decision, could be the success factors for companies, and may lead to successful CSR. Correct CSR actions become an imperative in nowadays industrial scenario, being viewed as a change imposed by globalization and by the transnational nature of CSR.

Abstract Corporate reporting on non-financial information has been currently gaining much more interest compared to the past. Most food enterprises believe that performing responsibly and showing an interest in society and the environment will produce a profit and benefit them as well as society. Such cases, in which enterprises report on non-financial information, were the subject of this research. The study aims to discover the managerial reporting of 2017 on the social and environmental effects of food companies in Slovakia to better understand problems in this regard. 2017 was the first year when enterprises were required to draft annual reports containing non-financial information following the amendment to the Slovak law that resulted from the European Union requirements. Across the world, reporting on non-financial information is regulated by voluntary guidelines. The paper presents conclusions of a content analysis of annual food business reports in the Slovak Republic in the context of G4 (GRI) directives from social and environmental points of view as key elements in social responsibility reporting. Individual social and environmental aspects of the research are disclosed by an enterprise if the information in its annual report conforms to defined G4 activities (GRI). All the food enterprises operating in Slovakia that compiled annual reports for 2017 were included in the research. Therefore, 142 annual reports with economic activities in 26 subclasses in the food industry sector were selected. The results present a current and comprehensive (full) reporting overview of this industry in Slovakia and reveal several shortcomings in executive reporting. The analysis of the environmental information in the annual reports shows that food enterprises reporting on environmental protection mainly focus on waste, product services, wastewater, materials and energy, evidenced by information about ongoing monitoring of the environmental impacts of production. In the social category, the G4 (GRI) directive defines four main aspects: (i) labour relations and the environment, (ii) human rights, (iii) society and (iv) liability for products.

The purpose of this study is to empirically test the influence of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on the actual buying behaviour of Indian consumers. For this purpose, responses were collected from 378 Indian consumers. To examine the possible relationship, descriptive statistics and regression are used. The result shows that purchase intention, intended loyalty, and consumers’ trust of socially responsible firms have a positive impact on consumers’ actual buying behaviour. Furthermore, this study highlights that intended loyalty towards a socially responsible firm has a profound influence on the actual buying behaviour of Indian consumers. An immediate managerial implication of the findings suggests that to attract potential consumers, CSR should be integrated with consumers’ marketing mix, given that CSR pays off in the form of better consumer response.

Objective - The higher the difference between the loan interest and the deposit interest is, the better it is for a bank. This reflects a higher margin/profitability. However, it also shows less efficiency of the intermediation mechanism. Using literature research, this study aims to understand how the mechanism of Profit and Loss Sharing System (Islamic Banking System) can become the solution for the trade-off. Methodology/Technique - This study uses literature search and review as the method to gain an understanding of the fundamental concept as well as to offer critique by noting the trade-offs associated with the micro and macro objectives of banking. Findings - In the profit and loss sharing system made accessible through partnership, the returns that will be earned by one part depends on the other part. This requires each part to behave professionally and responsibly. Depositors' returns depend on banks' returns and banks' returns depend on mudharib's return. Therefore, there is no difference between banking profitability and efficiency of the intermediation. Novelty - With the same implications noted between the micro objective of banks (advantage as a business entity) and the efficiency of intermediation as well as the implications for the affordability and social justice, there is no trade-off between profitability and economic efficiency of intermediation. In addition, the profit and loss sharing system can also be a solution for the trade-off itself.

Information systems and technologies (IST) are the essence of up-to date organizations, and changes in this field are occurring at an uncontrollable pace, interrupting traditional business models and forcing organisations to implement new models of business. Social media represent a subset of these technologies which contribute to organizational transformation. However, by itself, the adoption of social media does not imply such a transformation; changes in the organization's culture and behaviour are also needed. The use of IST in an appropriate and integrated way with the organization's processes will depend on an individual and collective effort. For organizations to take advantages of these technologies within the context of Social Business, a comprehension exercise is required in how to demonstrate their usefulness. To this end, this paper will provide a comprehensive view of a new context of labour faced by traditional organizations i.e. social business supported by mobile IST – mobile_Create, Share, Document and Training (m_CSDT) – in order to improve the well-being of these organizations through the collective intelligence and agility dimensions.

Full textAbstract:
Corporate social responsibility is in the focus of many companies in recent years. It becomes a way of sustainability for many companies on the market. It expresses a voluntary commitment of companies to behave responsibly to their surroundings within three pillars: economic, social and environmental one. The issue of social responsibility is developing in many European countries and European Commission is aiming at support for national CSR strategies. There are countries with highly developed CSR, on the other hand there are countries, such as the Czech Republic, where a public policy is being reformed, including discussions about CSR. This paper supports the idea that states should encourage social responsibility, as it allows businesses to become sustainable which leads to the stability of the economy. CSR activities can be focused on philanthropy, the care of the employees, the environment and transparency of economic activities. The process of CSR certification is important in the development of CSR in the Czech Republic. It allows companies to demonstrate their activities and visible achievements in this field. This paper describes the most popular types of certifications that are used in the Czech Republic and standards that do not have certification purposes, but they are very important. These are standards SA 8000, ISO 26000, ISO 9001, ISO 9004, ISO 9000, ISO 14001, ISO 14004, OHSAS 18001, IQNet SR 10 and the National Quality Policy.

Full textAbstract:
Today’s businesses have a huge impact on the environment. Enterprises overuse available natural resources, and emit hazardous pollutants; thus, they contribute to the advancing degradation of existing ecosystems, causing serious threats to the biological diversity of our planet. Hence, there is an urgent need to undertake diverse actions to reduce the adverse impact of businesses, households, and whole societies on the environment, and stop its degradation. The goal of this paper is to present research findings from the study carried out in 2019 and compare these findings with the study carried out in 2009, in order to identify and analyze the most frequent environmental activities undertaken by enterprises operating in the Lublin region. The ranking method was used in the study. The research findings show that over the last 10 years respondents’ opinions on the most effective economic instruments used in pursuing ecological policies remained unchanged. Moreover, respondents point to numerous tangible benefits resulting from ecological activity. In 2019, like in 2009, most pro-ecological investments were financed with enterprises’ own funds. Over the 10-year period between 2009 and 2019, the most frequent pro-environmental activities, as well as the returns on ecological investment periods, have changed. The study showed that enterprises responsibly consider environmental impacts of their activities and undertake actions aimed at preserving the environment and its resources.

The concept of creative doing consists of four points: 1) creation of oneself; 2) building your own business; 3) building a family and raising children; 4) social and cultural creation. In the philosophical works of I.A. Ilyin, you can find this concept. By discovering spiritual reality, a person comprehends God's plan for himself, his “calling”, freely accepts it and responsibly implements it in his life. The family, created on the basis of the spiritual community of the spouses, transmits the spiritual tradition and creates a new, more creative generation. Patriotism is brought up in the family, the transition to the concepts of the Motherland, the state, domestic and world culture is carried out. The topics are named and the stages of organizing the design and research work of students are presented. Discussion and conclusions. The novelty of this research lies in the combination of theoretical (philosophical ideas of I.A. Ilyin) and practical (long-term practice of organizing students' design and research work) approaches, which allows solving educational problems within the framework of humanitarian education. The concept of creative doing allows you to combine a personal approach with domestic traditions and public good.

PurposeThe paper takes stock of accumulated knowledge on factors impacting the success of online crowdfunding (CF) campaigns while suggesting opportunities for future research development.Design/methodology/approachA Systematic Literature Review of 88 academic papers published between 2010 and 2017. Papers were collected from four academic databases and published in 65 different journals. The review addresses issues related to theory, methods, context, findings and gaps. Overall, the paper presents an analysis of 1,718 associations between 111 aggregated independent variables (from 927 variables) with six main aggregated success indicators.FindingsMost research involves quantitative analyses of public data collected from reward-CF platforms. More research is required in equity, lending, donation and other CF contexts. Existing studies are mostly anchored in theories of signaling, social capital and elaboration likelihood. There is a need for wider conceptualization of success beyond financial indicators. And based on aggregated summaries of effects, the paper suggests a series of CF success models, while outlining an agenda for future research.Research limitations/implicationsStudied phenomenon is in its early days of existence, and hence biased by the circumstances of a new industry. Moreover, the current review only covers published journal articles in English.Practical implicationsFindings of factors impacting campaign success can inform fundraisers in building campaigns, as well as platforms in adjusting systems and services toward responsibly enhancing campaign success. Moreover, identified gaps can inform on what has not been sufficiently documented and may be a source of competitive advantage.Originality/valueA comprehensive review of research on CF success factors at factor level, a coherent agenda for future research development and a series of evidence-based models on most prevalent factors impacting CF success by CF model.

Social media tools are increasingly used for relationships management among marketplace actors (e.g. organisations, suppliers and individuals). As markets become ever more global and dynamic, new entrants find themselves struggling to fully understand the marketplace, companies operating with it and changes that occur. The authors discuss Social Media Network (SMN) tools and outline a methodology and procedure that supports the identification of domain specific networks within particular global business-to-business environments. Research is carried out using SMN data about firms in the pharmaceutical industry. The authors use their own methodology to uncover market participants, linkages and prominent issues that may help new firms to position themselves effectively within a new marketplace. SMNs provide a sizable source of information and new approaches are required to fully leverage their considerable value. This paper explores how SMNs can be used as an effective source of business intelligence by utilising two popular SMN platforms.
