Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Asia: Then and now
The authors reflect on their paper “Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Asia: A Seven Country Study of CSR Web Site Reporting” – on what they knew then, what they know now, and how much things have evolved.
What kind of CSR? Reflections on our bibliometric research
Almost two decades ago, we found ourselves wondering about the huge variety in concepts, approaches and theories surrounding the omnipresent notions of CSR and CSP. In this post, we reflect on our experiences: we briefly describe the review article and then deliberate on its reception and uptake.
Embrace Reason—Reject CSR Groupthink
In decisions about corporate social responsibility and sustainability, think like an economist.
Does CSR Lead to Financial Performance? The Role of Institutional Environment
Our study systematically reviews and quantifies the CSR-CFP link. We proposed that CSR behaviors are more likely to lead to CFP in the developed world because of its relatively mature institutional system and efficient market mechanism that allows such CSR to be more visible.
Understanding the influence of different institutional environments on social entrepreneurship
This foundational article, and the subsequent work that has cited this study, shows that not only do levels of development and economic metrics like GDP vary across countries, but legal systems also differ, as do cultural norms, industrial histories, and the types of economic activities that dominate. This variability thus leads to a range of different social, environmental or economic issues in each country.

What an amazing 60 years Business & Society has had! In the journal’s 60th volume this year, we celebrate the success of the journal with several new initiatives. Some of these will be announced later in the year, but we’d like to reflect now on what has been established in the domain of business and society and what opportunities lie ahead of us.
