The research issues of corporate social responsibility (CSR) have been highly raising scholars' interests in the field of management. This study aims at exploring the intervening variables (social capital) which may mediate the relationship between CSR and CFP. Empirical data were collected from Taiwanese listed firms. According to the analysis of the regression analysis, evidence shows that social capital plays a mediating role on connecting CSR and corporate financial performance (CFP). The mechanism is that CSR first has a positive impact on the social capital and social capital subsequently produces a positive effect on CFP. 

“…Legal responsibilities: In order to achieve the economic responsibilities, organizations need to work within the rules and regulations to achieve the "social contract" between organization and society (Masaka, 2008).Economic and Legal responsibilities are co-related and they reflect the expectations of society about organizations to achieve their economic goal within the frame of legal requirements (Goddard, 2005).

Pakistani consumers must be well informed that, in achieving their corporate goals, organizations now bear greater responsibility to develop healthy environment and aware society. This study aims towards assessment of the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Consumer Behavior in Pakistan and to analyze whether consumers reckon Organizationâ€™s CSR initiative before buying decisions of goods and services. Carroll definition of CSR was adopted here that addresses whole range of economic, legal, ethical and philanthropic responsibilities. A Survey Questionnaire in this regard was carried out and 313 responses were collected across the different corners of Pakistan that further lead to culmination of this analysis report. The analysis showed that there is significant positive correlation between all CSR components and consumer behavior. However, Pakistani consumerâ€™s priority appeared to be different than offered by Carrollâ€™s Classical Pyramid, where economic responsibility was considered to be the greatest priority, followed by philanthropic, legal & ethical responsibilities.

“…When there is a reduction of support from the government to the community, corporations will have a higher social mechanism power to elevate the change level within the community, especially in the developing nations or where the economic transition is taking place. In this situation, co-operation between government bodies, community and corporations, including multinational companies, could help to contribute and assist in community development efforts in the country (7,8). Contributions from the corporations through this collaborative effort had been recognised by many parties.…”

The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been identified as an early concept that provides a platform for corporations and community relationship. It is also being discussed that through CSR initiatives corporations would be able to assist in community development efforts. However, to achieve this objective, CSR strategies were required to be implemented according to the needs for community development. This paper will discuss how corporate and community relations through CSR strategies are being implemented for this purpose. The research was conducted on a qualitative case study on a CSR contract farming project by a multinational corporation towards the local farmers' community in Pasir Puteh, Kelantan, Malaysia. A total of 45 farmers who were involved in the project were interviewed. Verbatim data were analyzed to develop themes that could help to provide an understanding of the implementation strategy based on the perspective of the farmers as the recipients of the project. This study has identified the roles played by each of the parties involved based on 38 basic themes emerged from the analysis. These basic themes have been clustered into seven main themes (MT), namely MT1 - Strong Farmers Relationships, MT2 - Support by LFA, MT3 - Positive Attitude of Farmers, MT4 - Farmers Initiative, MT5 - Guaranteed Markets by Corporations, MT6 - Leadership of LFA and MT7 - Learning Process. These themes indicated that the implementation of the CSR project by the corporations was executed in collaboration with the relevant development agency that is the Local Farmers Association (LFA) with the farmer's active involvement. This project is seen to be executed as Public-Private Partnership approach and has assisted the local farmers' community to develop components of community development through the development of skills, attitudes and opportunities for the larger market.
