“…In 1924, management philosopher Oliver Sheldon proposed the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and advocated that "serving society is the fundamental driving force and foundation of industrial development" [1,2]. Under this theory, there has been an increasing amount of theoretical research and practical activities related to CSR, indicating the importance of CSR for a company's development.…”

In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of theoretical research on corporate social responsibility and its influence on practical activities. The impact of corporate social responsibility on business performance has received attention from scholars and managers. However, the existing research lacks the empirical analysis concerning the moderating effects of long-term business performance (brand value) and social capital. This study was based on the relevant data from listed, Chinese companies and conducted regression analysis on the impact of corporate social responsibility on financial performance and brand value, exploring its moderating effects under different social capital. The results showed that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) was significantly positively correlated with financial performance and brand value. Both horizontal and vertical social capital played a positive moderating role in the impact of CSR on financial performance and brand value. These conclusions differed between companies that were required to disclose and those that had voluntarily disclosed, as well as between heavily polluting industries and non-heavily polluting industries. This article enriches the existing theoretical framework and provides decision-making references for business managers on whether to take on corporate social responsibility, contributing to the theoretical understanding of corporate sustainable development from a social responsibility perspective.

“…In 1924, Oliver Sheldon pioneered the concept of CSR and termed it the ethical responsibility of the enterprise. Later, it was further elaborated into social, economic, and environmental responsibilities (Damart & Adam-Ledunois, 2017;Hoffman, 2007;Mi et al, 2018). Now the focus is more on sustainability and sustainable development.…”

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate environmental responsibility (CER) are important determinants of a firm's investment efficiency and financial performance. However, there is scant literature using the financial sector, and studies have excluded the financial sector due to its different capital structure. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of corporate social and environmental responsibility on China's financial institutions' investment efficiency and financial performance from 2010 to 2019. The data analysis consists of multivariate Driscoll and Kraay regression analysis, while a two-stage least squares regression is also used for robustness purposes. The results show a significant positive relationship between corporate social responsibility, investment efficiency, and the performance of financial institutions. The results also show that environmentally responsible firms perform better in terms of investment efficiency and financial performance. Furthermore, for non-state-owned enterprises, this impact is higher as compared to state-owned enterprises. Therefore, managers should strategically consider corporate social and environmental responsibility to reduce agency problems and improve their investment efficiency and performance.

“…With the recent advances in text analysis tools and techniques, investigation of scientific writings by influential authors is an interesting avenue for research. However, with the exception of a few articles (Hays and Russ-Sellers, 2000;Damart and Adam-Ledunois, 2017), the computer-aided textual analysis of written content has been mostly limited to the classic writings, such as those by Shakespeare or Dante Alighieri Peter Drucker's writings (Nalisnick and Baird, 2013;Mohammad, 2016). Overall, systematic text analysis has been conducted on a very small group of management theorists, notably Mary Parker Follett (Damart and Adam-Ledunois, 2017;Martin and Klenke, 2016), but Drucker's considerable body of work has not been the subject of this kind of analysis.…”

Purpose A lot has been discussed about Peter Drucker, and there exists significant written content admiring or criticizing his work as a management writer. This paper aims to offer a holistic analysis of Peter Drucker’s written contributions to better understand his views of society, government and organizations of all kinds. Design/methodology/approach Many have written about Peter Drucker and his considerable impact on the practical and philosophical foundations of modern management. Yet, there has been no systematic scholarly evaluation of Drucker as a writer, although many have praised and criticized his written work on management. In this study, the authors offer an analysis of Peter Drucker’s written contributions to evaluate his central contributions, as well as how he communicated his ideas on society and management. Findings A comprehensive analysis of Drucker’s word usage and writing style throughout his writing career forms an evidence-based approach to better understand his viewpoints and objectively evaluate the criticisms surrounding his work. Originality/value This research contributes to a better understanding of Peter Drucker’s central contributions, concerns and sentiments, as it relates to not only business management but also to his views of society, government and organizations of all kinds. A reconsideration of Drucker as a writer presents possible implications for the practice of management.
