Doctoral Dissertation Research: Cross-National Determinants of Corporate Social Responsibility

SES：1003182 PI：该项目提出了一个国家层面的企业社会责任概念，以研究影响全球自愿企业社会责任框架传播和实施的跨国因素，尽管成本，收益和后果不确定。为了检验所提出的发展、规范和经济解释，本项目的研究包括：（1）对企业社会责任采用的跨国数据进行定量时间序列分析;（2）通过结构化访谈对新加坡共和国企业社会责任实施情况进行案例研究。更广泛的影响：该项目的广泛影响是及时的，因为国际组织，民间社会和许多公司都表示迫切需要将渐进式变革列入公司议程。这一项目的跨国设计产生了适用于不同国家情况的调查结果，特别是如果国家和公司正在考虑对全球论坛上突出的公司社会责任原则作出承诺。

SES: 1003182PI: Kiyoteru TsutsuiUniversity of MichiganCo-PI: Alwyn LimUniversity of MichiganThis project proposes a country-level conception of corporate social responsibility to examine the cross-national factors that influence the diffusion and implementation of global voluntary corporate social responsibility frameworks despite the uncertain costs, benefits, and consequences. In order to test the proposed developmental, normative, and economic explanations, research for this project comprises (1) quantitative time-series analyses of cross-national data on corporate social responsibility adoption and (2) a case study of corporate social responsibility implementation in the Republic of Singapore through structured interviews. BROADER IMPACTS: The broader impacts of this project are timely as international organizations, civil society, and many corporations have expressed urgency for progressive change to be on the corporate agenda. The cross-national design of this project yields findings that are applicable to diverse national contexts, especially if countries and corporations are considering commitment to corporate social responsibility principles that are prominent in global forums.
