“…The past technological transformations (e.g., industrialization) have had a major influence on shaping human societies (Kemp 2013 ). These new technologies resulted in several positive developments such as improvements in quality of life of citizens (Nelson and Lorence 1985 ) but were also accompanied by negative impacts such as environmental degradation (Cherniwchan 2012 ) or social inequalities (Stearns 2013 ).…”

Digitalization is leading to profound changes in our private and work lives. New technologies are pervasive and create opportunities for new business models and lifestyles. Recently, the term “Corporate Digital Responsibility” has been coined to summarize the emerging responsibilities of corporations relating to their digitalization-related impacts, risks, challenges, and opportunities. The paper at hand reviews the topic of CDR using a multi-step approach. First, results from an opinion poll of 509 US-based respondents are reported which illustrate the perceived opportunities and threats associated with the topic of digitalization, underlining the need for a strategic approach to CDR implementation. Second, existing uses and definitions of the CDR terminology are summarized and a definition of CDR is derived. Third, twenty important topics related to CDR are identified, summarized and categorized into three categories using the ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) framework. Finally, results are discussed with regards to their theoretical and managerial contributions and a hands-on guide which companies can use to implement a suitable CDR strategy is presented.

“…Cultural traits should be more easily and frequently transferred between neighbouring countries. Examples of the spread of such traits are abundant historically, with, for example, industrialization spreading rapidly into Western Europe from Great Britain [ 80 ], but taking much longer to begin in Russia [ 81 ]. Even if improved transport and communications may make policymakers increasingly aware of policies in countries far away from their own, the spread of cultural traits between populations as a whole should be more likely between neighbouring countries.…”

Deep cultural ancestry and human development indicators across nation states

How historical connections, events and cultural proximity can influence human development is being increasingly recognized. One aspect of history that has only recently begun to be examined is deep cultural ancestry, i.e. the vertical relationships of descent between cultures, which can be represented by a phylogenetic tree of descent. Here, we test whether deep cultural ancestry predicts the United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) for 44 Eurasian countries, using language ancestry as a proxy for cultural relatedness and controlling for three additional factors—geographical proximity, religion and former communism. While cultural ancestry alone predicts HDI and its subcomponents (income, health and education indices), when geographical proximity is included only income and health indices remain significant and the effect is small. When communism and religion variables are included, cultural ancestry is no longer a significant predictor; communism significantly negatively predicts HDI, income and health indices, and Muslim percentage of the population significantly negatively predicts education index, although the latter result may not be robust. These findings indicate that geographical proximity and recent cultural history—especially communism—are more important than deep cultural factors in current human development and suggest the efficacy of modern policy initiatives is not tightly constrained by cultural ancestry.

“…To cite just a couple of examples from the very many explanations for England's primacy we find views as diverse as those of Kemp, "... if one overriding reason can be given for the slower transformation of the continent ... it must be the continued prevalence of the traditional agrarian structures." (5) and Hagen, "... differences in personality rather than differential circumstances are the central explanation of Britain's primacy ... the Industrial Revolution occurred first in England and Wales ... because British peo le were inwardly different from those of the continent.…”
