dc.description.abstract | The research reported in this thesis has been directed by three
interconnected questions: 1) How can institutional theory contribute to
our understanding of the contingent nature of CSR and manifestations
of CSR within national-level fields? 2) What are the potential
institutional and political implications of CSR? and 3) How can
institutional theory contribute to discussions of a justified foundation
for companies (political) efforts on the societal arena?
Since the 1950s, the role of business in, and the responsibility of
companies towards, society have increasingly been addressed in terms
of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) (Carroll, 1999, 2008;
Frederick, 2006). Simply put, CSR refers to responsibilities that either a
corporation has to society or responsibilities that society imposes on
corporations (De George, 2008)..... | en_US |
