“…This finding is affirmed by P2's critique of regulatory for their non-implementation of effluent treatment plants by the companies that do illegal logging. Our finding is consistent with that of Khojastehpour (2015), who found that corruption among politicians and corporate leaders has a negative implication on CSER. To achieve sustainable business practices, companies must address the complexities associated with corruption.…”

The purpose of this study is to explore stakeholder power in corporate social and environmental responsibility (CSER) disclosure in Malaysia. We collected data through content analysis and semi-structured interviews. Content analysis was used to identify the disclosure level of CSER in the annual reports by listed companies in Malaysia. Then, semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect opinions from stakeholders to understand the CSER phenomenon, particularly the motivations of CSER in Malaysia. This study utilises the 'stakeholder theory' because this theory is based on the moral treatment of stakeholders and has been widely used by accounting researchers in CSER sustainability studies. The interviews provide evidence that stakeholders, particularly government and non-government organisations, show their concern on the importance of social and environmental disclosures. This concern may be one of the driving factors that influence companies to reveal a large amount of CSER information related to the society and environmental aspects. This finding indicates that present secondary stakeholders play a crucial part in compelling organisations to disclose CSER information.

“…The attempts of MNCs to internationalize seems to be evidence of their commitment to CSR (Khan et al, 2015). In other words, CSR issues are now being integrated into all aspects of business operations (Khojastehpour, 2015) and commitment to CSR is integrated into the vision, mission, and value statements of more companies worldwide, including leaders such as Nestlé and Coca-Cola (Koschate-Fischer et al, 2016).…”

“…It is therefore important for researchers to understand the antecedents of CSR within the global context, through developing a sound theoretical understanding of the internationalization process. MNCs are actively searching for links between their CSR strategies and core activities (Khojastehpour, 2015;Khojastehpour and Johns, 2014). This allows firms to better manage domestic and international operations and earn their "social license" within both contexts (Kolk and Tulder, 2010).…”

Purpose Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has received considerable research attention globally over the past decade. Although a growing number of prior studies have investigated the various dimensions of CSR in general terms, few studies have investigated the critical role that CSR can play in the internationalization process of firms. Design/methodology/approach Using S&P 500 companies during 2004-2014, the authors found that the level of CSR commitment raises the level of reliability of firm and allows further international penetration. Moreover, better regulatory quality of host country is at actual support of internationalization only when considering the short term. Findings Better regulatory quality of host country is at actual support of internationalization only when considering the short term. Originality/value The authors build on internationalization theory and CSR and examine the relationship between firms’ level of internationalization and CSR commitment.

“…The responsiveness of multinational corporations (MNCs) to the local market requires their subsidiaries to hold substantially different perspectives on corporate social responsibility (CSR) in different countries (Khojastehpour, 2015;Khojastehpour andShams, 2019, Khojastehpour andSaleh, 2019). In an international context, CSR invariably interacts with host country institutional configurations in complex ways (Strike et al, 2006;Jamali and Karam, 2016) due to a variety of institutional systems and logics in diverse country contexts (Maignan and Ralston, 2002;.…”

Purpose Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a new trend that has swept the world of business by storm. With globalization proceeding unabated and CSR acquiring global interest and resonance, examining how companies can make adaptations to their CSR in an international context becomes a timely and important issue. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on institutional theory, this study aims to identify three types of host country institutional complexity that accompany the internationalization process, namely, cultural, regulatory and economic, hence necessitating nuanced CSR adaptations in context and as illustrated in this paper requiring different tailoring and adaptation of CSR programs and interventions between developed and developing countries. Findings The authors propose a series of research propositions for exploration toward broadening and deepening the understanding of the above institutional complexities and the necessity of CSR tailoring and adaptation to accompany the internationalization process. Originality/value The paper is one of the first to highlight the necessity of CSR tailoring in the context of the internationalization process while considering host country institutional complexity highlighting nuanced differences between developed and developing country landscapes and implications for how multinational corporations should approach CSR in these differentiated environments.
