La tesi si pone due obiettivi principali. Il primo é quello di proporre una rassegna ragionata della letteratura di carattere economico sulla Responsabilitá Sociale d'Impresa (RSI), analizzando i maggiori elementi di possibile critica e i nodi rimasti irrisolti. Il secondo é quello di introdurre alcuni contributi originali a questa letteratura. Riguardo al secondo obiettivo, l'analisi economica della RSI si puó dividere in due rami: uno che vede la RSI principamente come strategia di differenziazione, e l'altro che la vede come strategia per migliorare l'efficienza del processo produttivo. Fino ad ora la letteratura economica si é concentrata esclusivamente sul primo. Nella mia tesi vengono sviluppati alcuni modelli teorici delle RSI come strategia per migliorare l'efficienza del processo produttivo. Uno dei principali risultati della tesi é che le imprese che appaiono socialmente responsabili non sono quelle che hanno rinunciato alla massimizazione dei profitti, ma quelle che hanno come obiettivo la massimizzazione dei profitti nel lungo periodo, tenendo in considerazione come le proprie attivitá possono influenzare la disponibilitá e la qualitá dei fattori di produzione nel futuro. Un altro risultato della tesi é lo studio delle configurazioni di equilibrio in diversi mercati, con riferimento a quante imprese decideranno di intraprendere RSI e quante decideranno di non farlo.

Since the 2008 global economic crisis, East Asian economies have faced a number of macroeconomic issues including China's new growth model, the middle-income trap in developing East Asian countries, and the growing natural fibre market and its socio-economic implications. This book addresses these key topical issues which East Asian economies are facing today. Written by international experts in the area of Asian economics and business, it presents the most recent macroeconomic outlook in the region and then goes on to analyse a number of business corporations and industry-related cases, focussing on the theme of firms' strategies. Examining the links between environmental and financial performance, corporate social responsibility and the transfer of environmental management, financial accounting standards, the relationship between corporate sustainability activities and corporate profit, and the different cultural approaches towards business ethics, this book provides both practical strategies and new theoretical insights. As such it will appeal to students, scholars and practitioners interested in Asian business and economics.

The problem of economic security should be considered as an organized development of the economy and the need to ensure an appropriate level of enterprise efficiency and quality of life from advanced technology, intelligent technology, incoming stream, and the proper flow of information. Neoliberals can make it so that states should implement the no-disturbance principle; this will have the entrepreneurial realization effect. One needs to find out if there is still room for charity and trustees in the global world. Is it only meeting the main comments about the development of individual entrepreneurship, which comes from energy resources?

It is increasingly being accepted that there is a benefit to both parties when a relationship is established between an NGO and a company. Consequently a considerable number of strategic alliances have been established. It must be accepted that such alliances are not necessarily mutually beneficial but little research has been undertaken to determine the factors which facilitate or mitigate against such mutual benefit. Indeed it is only recently that such relationship shave started to be examined at all. The contributions in this volume seek to redress this by researching various aspects of such relationships in order to arrive at some conclusions regarding the potential benefits and pitfalls of such relationships. The various contributors speak from different perspectives and different locations around the world and have different experiences and interpretations to offer. The results therefore present a diverse but balanced picture of the potential of any relationship between NGOs, companies and corporate social responsibility.

Provides a synthesis and critical evaluation of the results of existing research on privatization utilizing an international review and comparative analysis of relevant factors of economic and social performance. Based on the results of this analysis, it appears that the economic benefits of privatization activities promoted as a panacea by many public and private sector managers, are on average modest at best, while the social benefits are often mixed and uneven. Moreover, it seems that the role of privatization as a means of reforming the public sector has expanded internationally in scope and at such a rapid pace, that in many cases, the importance of objective and balanced measures of its overall effectiveness and impact on the affected communities need to be reexamined. Recommends that those responsible for planning of future privatization activities should refocus the present economic emphasis and strive for a balance of economic and social performance to improve long‐term benefits for all sectors of the affected communities.

Classification JEL : L15; M14; D03; D82 ; International audience ; The promotion of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is likely to depend on consumers' purchase behaviors. While many consumers like the idea of social responsibility, the responsible consumption remains at a low level. This survey analyses two main barriers to responsible consumption: the willingness-to-pay for it, which relates to consumer social preferences; and the information asymmetry between companies and consumers. The economic literature shows that consumer social preferences are related to altruistic, self-image and social image concerns. Only consumers with strong social preferences and a low marginal utility of income (a high income) are likely to purchase CSR products. Moreover, purchase decisions crucially depend on the existence of labels, which truthfully identify the CSR products. Public policies may promote consumer social responsibility through education programs, enhancement of self- and social-image concerns, and careful label regulation. ; La diffusion de la Responsabilité sociale des entreprises (CSR) est conditionnée par les comportements d'achat des consommateurs. Nombre d'entre eux déclarent être favorables à la CSR et pourtant, la consommation responsable reste à un niveau faible. Cette revue de la littérature analyse deux barrières principales à la consommation responsable : la disponibilité-à-payer des consommateurs, qui dépend de leurs préférences sociales ; et l'asymétrie d'information entre les entreprises et les consommateurs. La littérature économique montre que les préférences sociales des consommateurs dépendent de leurs préoccupations en termes d'altruisme, d'image de soi et d'image sociale et que seuls les consommateurs avec des préférences sociales fortes et une utilité marginale du revenu faible (hauts revenus) sont enclins à acheter des produits CSR. Par ailleurs, les décisions d'achat dépendent de l'existence de labels qui identifient véritablement les produits CSR. Les politiques publiques peuvent ...
