“…Previous studies about norm entrepreneurs include how non-governmental organisations have been norm entrepreneurs in bringing corporate social responsibility to the international agenda (Segerlund, 2007), how Scandinavian countries have acted as norm entrepreneurs in global eco-politics, conflict resolution, and the provision of aid (Ingebritsen, 2002), and how the Federal Trade Commission in the US has acted as a norm entrepreneur for internet privacy (Hetcher, 2000).…”

“…As suggested in earlier world polity research on organizations (e.g., Dufays 2005;Drori et al 2006;Mühle 2010;Segerlund 2010;Hofferberth et al 2011; Shamir 2011; Choi 2011), a great deal of corporate behavior can be explained within related cultural and institutional frameworks, offering insights on CSR motivations for organizational actors such as MNCs. From this perspective, organizations assert identities grounded in broader claims and world level societal expectations.…”

Rhetorical Framing of Organizational Identity: Corporate Social Responsibility in the Modern World Polity

As multinational corporations (MNCs) have increased their activities associated with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), scholars, analysts, and practitioners have focused on functional and strategic issues in line with profit motivations, questioning whether CSR enhances the corporate bottom-line. However, there is little empirical evidence to date showing any definitive positive relationships between CSR and corporate financial performance. Nonetheless, more and more MNCs are putting significant efforts and resources into CSR practices and are actively participating in global CSR schemes, such as the UN Global Compact. Based on analyses of organizational identity claims and of organizational engagement, this exploratory research suggests that, while not always straightforward and transparent, the growing CSR involvement by MNCs is part and parcel of broader legitimization processes conforming with world polity cultural norms and identities as world polity constituents. Although at times contradictory, CSR itself has been framed in terms of normative value-added activities, along with more rationalist financial goals.

“…During the 1980s and 1990s, however, CSR became increasingly prominent, considered as an 'essential framework' for society to challenge the practices of large companies and businesses, as public trust and consumer confidence were starting to wane in relation to certain companies' business standards (Kalisch, 2002). Major environmental disasters such as Chernobyl (1986), Bhopal, India (1984), together with the Nestle´boycott protests of the 1970s, and increasing civil rights movements throughout the world during this time (see Segerlund, 2010), acted as catalysts for the rigorous public gaze that is placed upon business activities today. Businesses have been encouraged to develop a social conscience, and act as part of the solution, rather than part of the problem (Fennell, 2006).…”

The city of Livingstone has experienced rapid tourism growth over the past 20 years, as Zambia has attempted to diversify its economy that has been traditionally driven by copper and natural resource extraction. As tourism has grown in Livingstone, the importance of the industry in providing more than just economic progress and growth has been debated, in line with changing global priorities for tourism development. Tourism, as a means for community growth and upliftment is now commonplace within tourism discourse, an issue which is reflected in discussions about poverty reduction and developing sustainable tourism in Livingstone. The potential of corporate social responsibility (CSR) as an agent for positive tourism development, however, remains largely unexplored. This paper examines different levels of CSR commitment within Livingstone, demonstrating that significant positive impacts among local communities have resulted from some CSR initiatives. Consideration is also given to possible future measures that might ensure that CSR becomes more commonplace in Livingstone and elsewhere, as an essential part of community empowerment and development associated with a growing tourism industry.
