“…Regarding external institutional factors, environmental legislative pressure pushes Chinese firms to fully deliver on their social responsibilities (Dubey et al, 2019). CSR in China is dynamic as it pertains to highly complex social issues; therefore, Chinese firms should pay particular attention to CSR planning (Koleva & Meadows, 2021). Regulations should be drafted to differentiate business systems and improve competitiveness, which is consistent with previous studies stating that CSR initiatives are a strategic response to institutional regulatory pressure (Ozbekler & Ozturkoglu, 2020).…”

“…For Chinese firms, the question is not whether to engage in CSR but how to do so profitably without falling behind their peers. Chinese firms have a good understanding of ethical business conduct and CSR (Koleva & Meadows, 2021). As exemplified by Alibaba, most successful Chinese firms are highly effective in practicing CSR, and their efforts are well known and discussed in the media (Wang & Yu, 2020).…”

Chinese companies are aware of the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) nowadays, but the drivers of CSR practices or activities are unknown. To bridge this research gap, this study examined the links between both internal and external factors and firm performance in the Chinese context and developed a new theoretical framework integrating the indigenous characteristics of CSR in China to predict the factors that affect Chinese CSR. Data from 530 Chinese managers from manufacturing and non-manufacturing firms were collected via a survey through SoJump (sojump.com) and analysed using structural equation modelling. One internal institutional factor (top management commitment) and three external factors (environmental legislative pressure, peer imitation pressure and normative social pressure) were found to strongly and positively predict CSR practices. The major contribution of this study is that, it demonstrates the intervening role of CSR practices in strengthening firm performance from a management perspective.

“…Panel surveys can assess, over time, the marketing results of organizations that exhibit these CSR washing practices. Although it is not within the scope of bibliometric analysis, significant growth in the number of publications on this subject was noticed in the year 2021, indicating a real increase in interest in investigating this topic (e.g., [116][117][118][119][120]).…”

Several studies explored the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on marketing. However, bibliometric research that organizes this production is scarce. Thus, this study aims to provide a bibliometric view of marketing-related CSR research, identifying this field’s state-of-the-art literature. Two thousand and forty-two articles were collected through the Web of Science (WoS) platform. Data were analyzed using VOSviewer software to map the data graphically. The results show that: (a) the literature on CSR in the marketing area is growing; (b) five articles alone accounted for 9940 citations, and there are several prolific authors; (c) the prominent journals identified in this research published 42.16% of the total; (d) The “Journal of Business Ethics” is the leader in the number of publications, followed by “Sustainability,” which has shown strong growth in recent years, and; (e) The US is the leading country, according to the number of articles and citations. The keyword trending network analysis revealed that CSR is becoming a strategic marketing approach for companies. This study offers an insight into the state-of-the-art and trends identification in CSR and marketing.

“…Thoughtful interpretive engagement is therefore important for those seeking to engage with and apply ideas of responsibility, especially in the context of the rhetoric surrounding corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its influence on thought and action (Winkler et al, 2020). Finally, deconstruction is necessary to address issues that go beyond slippage and risks of inadvertent inaction, since the constructions of power behind the talk of responsibility can support deliberate hypocritical divides between surface messages and intended actions, especially in relation to CSR (Esper and Barin-Cruz, 2019; Koleva and Meadows, 2021).…”

This essay argues that conceptualisations of responsibility in the responsible management education literature are generally superficial or unstated. We propose that this leads to practical understandings of responsibility being drawn from the hidden curriculum of socialised learning in the background of formal educational contexts. To disrupt this and enable critical thought and action, we argue for the integration of three perspectives that can be combined in a dynamic, lived process. First, we suggest that evidence-based management challenges us to seek out evidence to inform responsible management practice in ways that are thoughtful, critical and reflexive. Second, we argue that an interpretive approach employing philosophical hermeneutics connects responsibility to situated judgement about how we should interpret evidence available to us in the context of lived human experience in dialogue with others. Third, deconstruction reveals (aspects of) the ways in which the hidden curriculum constructs responsibility in the context of responsible management education texts and talk – and helps us to remain open to other possibilities. We integrate these three perspectives to arrive at a definition of responsibility as a lived process with implications for students, educators and the institutions they inhabit.
