Roles of CSR in Development : Case studies of CSR programs conducted by indigenous and multinational corporations in the Philippines

最近的一项全球运动是促进企业社会责任，这一运动充满了关于其利弊的辩论，特别是在发展中国家，那里的公共机构特别脆弱。当前的企业社会责任运动真的能帮助发展中国家吗？在发展中国家的日本跨国公司如何进行CSR--应该注意什么？本研究试图通过对菲律宾的企业社会责任进行全面的国别研究来回答这些问题。本研究的分析框架包括以下几个方面：（1）微观层面上的大量案例分析;（2）国家宏观层面上的资本主义种类分析;（3）全球层面上的国际政治经济分析。菲律宾企业社会责任的研究结果包括：（1）企业社会责任应在菲律宾的文化背景下理解; 2）企业社会责任作为政治经济学的一个重要工具， ...更多信息 菲律宾资本主义; 3）企业社会责任在一定程度上促进了菲律宾经济的和平发展，但并不像菲律宾政府所设想的那样有帮助。事实上，研究发现，当企业社会责任不利于政府与人民之间心理契约的健康发展时，特别是在权利和义务问题上，它可能是有害的。该研究还发现，在菲律宾，与西方跨国公司相比，日本跨国公司在履行企业社会责任方面的效率往往较低。因此，本研究的范围扩大到探讨日本国内的多样性、冲突管理和企业社会责任的（弱点），并对来自欧洲、日本、菲律宾和美国的18家企业的企业社会责任案例进行了研究，其中还包括棉兰老岛冲突地区的和平企业社会责任案例。截至2008年3月，在日本、美国、欧洲和亚洲的学术机构组织的会议上作了一些介绍;在日本、美国/欧洲和菲律宾发表了一些论文。其他相关出版工作正在进行中。在基于所获得的见解的教学贡献方面，开发了五个英文案例，包括美国商会基金会等。该项目不仅在学术会议上发表，而且通过与菲律宾亚洲管理研究所的合作，参加欧盟资助的CSR研究研讨会，在欧洲工商管理学院作为访问学者进行理论建设，并与日本、美国、菲律宾等国学者共同举办研讨会。由此建立的网络将作为今后研究的基础。少

A recent global movement, the promotion of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is fraught with debates over its pros and cons, particularly as applied in developing countries where institutions within the public purview are particularly fragile. Will the current CSR movement really help developing countries? How do Japanese multinationals in developing countries conduct CSR- And of what should they be aware of?This study attempts to answer those questions through a comprehensive country study of CSR in the Philippines. The analytical framework of this research includes the following: i) an analysis of numerous case studies at the micro level; an analysis of varieties of capitalism at the country macro level; and iii) an analysis of the international political economy at the global level.Findings on Philippine CSR include the following: 1) CSR should be understood within the cultural context of the Philippines; 2) CSR functions as an important apparatus within the political economy of … More the Philippine capitalism; and 3) to a certain extent, CSR has helped promote the peaceful development of the Philippine economy, but is not as helpful as the Philippine government envisioned. In fact, the study found that CSR can prove harmful when it functions against the healthy development of the psychological contract between the government and the people, particularly in the matter of rights and duties. The study also found that in the Philippines, vis-a-vis western multinationals, Japanese multinationals tend to conduct CSR less effectively. The scope of the research was thus expanded to include a discussion of the (weakness of) diversity and conflict management and CSR within Japan.All together, CSR cases of 18 corporations from Europe, Japan, the Philippines and the US were studied, including some peace-related CSR cases in the conflict-ridden areas in Mindanao. By March 2008, a number of presentations had been made in conferences organized by academies from Japan, the US, Europe and Asia; and papers published in Japan, the US/Europe and the Philippines. Other related works for publication are in progress. In terms of the pedagogical contribution based on the insights gained, five cases in English were developed, including AmCham Foundation, etc. Course materials, i.e., ten CSR cases, both in English and Japanese, were similarly developed.The project has not only been presented at academic conferences, but has allowed the strengthening of international research networks through collaborations with the Asian Institute of Management in the Philippines, participation in EU-funded CSR research seminars, a stint at INSEAD as a visiting scholar for theoretical building, and the conduct of seminars together with scholars from Japan, US, and the Philippines. Networks thus established will serve as the foundation for future research. Less
