“…And similar to regulative institutions, normative institutions that relate to professional or industrial societies, and the norms and values at the cultural-cognitive level, differ across countries (Husted & Allen, 2006;Jamali & Neville, 2011). Internationalisation therefore increases the number and diversity of stakeholder pressures on the firm (Brammer, Pavelin, & Porter, 2006;Sharfman, Shaft, & Tihanyi, 2004), which can be argued to both positively and negatively affect corporate responsiveness (e.g. Kolk & Fortanier, 2013).…”

Multinational enterprises and the Sustainable Development Goals: An institutional approach to corporate engagement

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) cannot be achieved without the contributions of multinational enterprises (MNEs). However, extant international business research hardly covers the private sector's role in achieving international policy goals. This article conceptualises the SDGs as a goal-based institution. Building on institutional theory, it develops propositions that help explain MNEs' engagement with SDGs. Exploratory survey results from 81 European and North American Financial Times Global 500 companies indicate that MNEs engage more with SDG targets that are actionable within their (value chain) operations than those outside of it, and more with SDG targets that ''avoid harm'' than those that ''do good''. Differences in SDG engagement based on MNEs' home-and host-countries and their industrial sectors are also explored. We draw policy conclusions for a more pro-active involvement of MNEs in sustainable development, and we define avenues for future international business research. In particular, cross-sector partnerships deserve further attention.

“…in securing buy-in from stakeholders) as well as for creating commercial benefits (Noland and Phillips 2010). Stakeholder engagement refers to CSR, as it were, 'in action'; that is, significant research in this strand has worked on identifying and justifying which internal and external stakeholders are involved with particular organisations, the nature of their stakes, and how CSR activities feature within the social relations among stakeholders (Blowfield and Murray 2008;Holzer 2008;Brammer and Pavelin 2006). For instance, research in this strand has looked at what sorts of CSR activities are valued by stakeholders.…”

This paper presents a critical review of recent progress in research on corporate social responsibility (CSR) in tourism management, and possible directions for future research. In comparison to a well-established, empirically-grounded body of knowledge dealing with other sectors of economic activity, dedicated research on CSR in travel and tourism is at a relatively early stage. In the past decade, CSR has been the primary subject of a limited number of studies from a small academic community of practice. Studies have primarily focused on three macro-level topic areas: implementation; the economic rationale for acting more responsibly; and the social relations of CSR. Interest in responsibility as an approach to tourism governance and management is nevertheless growing as several policy prescriptions and corporate vision statements reveal. For research to progress further and to match these ambitions, greater critical engagement with mainstream thinking on CSR is required as well as greater conceptual and methodological sophistication.

“…Hence, another alternative in measuring company performance, which relies on multiple stakeholders and a useful predictor of long-term performance and viability is corporate social performance (CSP) (Kacperczyk 2009;Kang 2013). Therefore, nowadays, CSP has become an important component of overall company performance (Brammer et al 2006). Although CSP is a potential indicator of a company's performance, however, research on the relationship between corporate diversification and CSP is neglected (Kang 2013).…”

“…Although CSP is a potential indicator of a company's performance, however, research on the relationship between corporate diversification and CSP is neglected (Kang 2013). In addition, most of the prior studies have been conducted in the developed countries (Brammer et al 2006;Kang 2013;Simerly 1997). Whilst, study on this topic is still missing in the developing countries, such as Indonesia.…”

The effects of diversification on financial performance are well-established, less so the way in which diversification influences company behaviour towards stakeholder demand and social concern. This paper investigates the relationship between business diversification and corporate social performance (CSP) in an industrial setting, in Indonesia. CSP is measured with an index constructed from content and disclosure analysis of annual company reports in line with global reporting initiative standards. A sample of 107 listed manufacturing companies from the Indonesian Stock Exchange is used to estimate a lagged multiple regression model to show that industry-level diversification does not have an effect on CSP. However, distinguishing between related and unrelated diversification produces a different outcome whereby, related diversification is negatively and statistically significantly correlated with CSP. Unrelated diversification, on the other hand, shows a positive and statistically significant relationship. It means the relationship between unrelated diversification and CSP is more positive than the relationship between related diversification and CSP. The findings offer a unique insight into industrial diversification and CSP in Indonesia's expanding manufacturing sector.
