“…Strategic communication consists of written, oral, advertising and symbolic information that bridges the gap between the firm and stakeholders (Grunig, 2006). For example, social media has been used by governments for transparency and collaboration (Agerdal-Hjermind and Valentini, 2015;Avery and Graham, 2013), firms responding to customer complaints (Bach and Kim, 2012) and influencing customer opinions through corporate social responsibility (CSR) (Coombs and Holladay, 2009;Cho and De Moya, 2016;Bachman and Ingenhoff, 2017).…”

Purpose This study aims to support and extend signalling theory because of information asymmetry. This study also aims to answer the call to further negative signalling and explore immediate reactions to signals, thus alleviating a gap with regard to temporality of signalling. Design/methodology/approach The study used two separate data sources, the S&P 500 and 51,500 pages of the public papers between 1981 and 1999, nearly 20 years of data. Inter-rater reliability, controlled for all macroeconomic announcements identified in the literature, is used, and the data are empirically tested using generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GJR-GARCH) modelling. Findings In accordance with signalling theory and the efficient market hypothesis, the study found that receivers do react to positive signals from a credible insider signaller to obviate information asymmetry. In line with previous research, the study also finds that receivers react much stronger to negative signals. Practical implications Investors, financial managers and top executives responsible for their stock price need to focus on presidential signalling as these directly affect market volatility. In particular, investors and financial managers can predict stock price volatility based upon signals from the president. Originality/value This is the first research study that explores the correlation between presidential signalling and market volatility. This study is important for investors and financial managers.

“…Community engagement or community relations is a topic that has been on the CSR agenda of many globalized industries, and consists of activities that aim to improve the relationship between companies and the local communities in which they operate [44]. Community engagement is less streamlined in terms of what issues it addresses, but generally deals with gaining or maintaining a "social license to operate" and contributing to the well-being, socio-economic development and empowerment of communities [30,45]. Global companies operate in different "local communities", which means community engagement can range from improving the well-being of communities in developed and developing countries.…”

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Practices of the Largest Seafood Suppliers in the Wild Capture Fisheries Sector: From Vision to Action

et al. 2019

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the seafood industry is on the rise. Because of increasing public awareness and non-governmental organization (NGO) campaigns, seafood buyers have made various commitments to improve the sustainability of their wild seafood sourcing. As part of this effort, seafood suppliers have developed their own CSR programs in order to meet buyers’ sourcing requirements. However, the CSR of these companies, many of which are mid-supply chain or vertically integrated, remain largely invisible and unstudied. In order to better understand how mid-chain seafood suppliers engage in sustainability efforts, we reviewed the CSR practices of the 25 largest seafood companies globally (by revenue) that deal with wild seafood products. Based on literature, existing frameworks, and initial data analysis, we developed a structured framework to identify and categorize practices based on the issues addressed and the approach used. We found companies implement CSR to address four key areas, and through various activities that fit into five categories: Power; Practices; Partnerships; Public policy; and Philanthropy. One of the biggest gaps identified in this study is the lack of accountability mechanisms, as well as robust and consistent accounting of impacts. Indeed, many companies express commitments without clear goals and structures in place to ensure implementation. Therefore, improvements in seafood company performance on social and environmental aspects may not only require creating a better business case for CSR, but also require ensuring that companies have the necessary processes and structures in place through public oversights and regulations.

“…Learning to the community must be seen as a supportive capacity for the realization and management of community empowerment programs (Cho & De Moya, 2016;Lawson, 2005), and used as program development in the future. Whereas the role of the community as a target can be seen in the level of community participation in participating in various programs related to improving their skills, abilities, and quality so that they can improve the social welfare of the poor in the area to be more empowered.…”

Although training techniques are just right, learning cannot happen if the experience is not arranged properly. So, when drawing up a program of training and development, a very important set of learning stages during a training program or development and to provide the conditions that will sustain the performance in time. The descriptive method is used to search the fact with proper interpretation prior to implementing training programs, responsibility for learning and support the transfer of new behaviors. The content of the training program should be the same as the purpose of the lesson. Some types of learning objectives are the cognitive knowledge, technical skills or interpersonal, effective results, and ethical behavior.
