“…CSR is a well-established and highly evolved body of knowledge that has explored issues of trust, rights and responsibilities, and decision-making (Aguinis & Glavas, 2012;Jenkins, 2005). Beginning from early fifties, a large body of literature has examined CSR in both developed and developing countries (Bowen & Johnson, 1953;Davis, 1960;Friedman, 1970;Levitt, 1958;Davis, 1973;Freeman 1984;Drucker, 1984;Freeman, 2010;Carroll, 2016;Meynhardt & Gomez, 2019;Panda, D'Souza, & Blankson, 2019). McWilliams and Siegel (2001) define Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as 'actions that appear to further some social good, beyond the interests of the firm and that which is required by law.…”

The absence of consensus on what should constitute Corporate Social Responsibility has inhibited consistent CSR legislation around the world. This paper poses a fundamental question on what should constitute CSR and what should be the nature of CSR regulation? By constructing the boundaries of CSR, the paper offers scope for consistently developing CSR regulation around the world. It construes CSR as consisting of business relation and impact relation, and demonstrates that these are intertwined with legal responsibilities of business and, consequentially, with accountability. It accomplishes this by establishing the obligatory nature of responsibilities using the lens of ethical and legal jurisprudence. This new approach towards CSR recasts it as an obligatory responsibility that is linked to accountability. Furthermore, the framework provides a foundation for consistent development of CSR regulation across different countries that can lead to effective discharge of corporates' social responsibilities.

“…Interestingly, studies in Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries by Jamali et al (2020) revealed that a family's socio-emotional wealth and religion may demonstrate the differentiated manifestation of CSR practices across the MENA; however, this is not exclusive to the MENA region but may shape CSR practices and other forms of economic activities. Research work done by Panda et al (2019) identified economic forces, social forces, ethical forces and regulatory forces drive CSR activities in both Indian and developed economies. The study however found that the ways that companies respond to these drivers of CSR are different within the Indian context, and the differences can be traced to various attributes of the Indian socio-cultural dynamics.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide a systematic review of empirical research studies on corporate social responsibility (CSR) in emerging economies.Design/methodology/approachThis paper employed a systematic literature review using research papers published on CSR in emerging economies from 2010 to 2019.FindingsThe findings of this paper show that the principal themes of published research articles on CSR in emerging economies are (1) effects of CSR, (2) drivers of CSR and (3) challenges of CSR. Additionally, publications on CSR in emerging economies have been dominated by studies that used quantitative approach and cross-sectional design. A significant number of studies also employed secondary data sources with most of these studies not being sensitive to sectoral influencesResearch limitations/implicationsThe research is non-empirical.Practical implicationsCSR is an area that can mitigate some of the developmental challenges of emerging economies and also stimulate the economic growth of firms. Thus, governments and organisations must partner to provide suitable conditions that would influence organisations to incorporate CSR in their business plans.Originality/valueThis review is the first of its kind that identifies the principal thematic domains of research on CSR in emerging economies. This review also provides proof of the areas of research that need attention and also provides recommendation on future areas of study on CSR in emerging economies.

“…Researchers argue that CSR efforts by firms in India are moving away from moral overtones to legal and strategic economic imperatives (Dhanesh, 2015; Panda et al, 2018; The Guardian , 2014). In contrast, researchers argue that Filipino firms aim towards guiding CSR through philanthropic efforts to augment the government’s efforts to address social issues (Habaradas, 2013).…”

Firms utilize cause-related marketing (CRM) strategy to differentiate themselves by demonstrating their corporate responsibility efforts. However, national differences in the level of prior CRM exposure, local–global consumer values and culture can result in heterogeneity in consumer perceptions of CRM across countries. The authors reflect and examine national differences in customer attitudes, intention to participate in CRM and loyalty towards the company organizing the CRM campaign through variables like scepticism, perceived novelty, global connectedness and long-term orientation. They discuss and examine the impact of these variables on national preferences for CRM campaign variations by (a) type of company (local versus multinational) and (b) the time duration of CRM campaign (short term/long term). This research uses data from two emerging Asian countries—India and the Philippines. By diving deep into the nuances that drive consumers to participate in CRM, the research provides relevant strategies to drive CRM communication strategies that enhance consumer loyalty to the marketers of CRM campaigns of national, international and non-profit organizations.
