AbstractCorporate social responsibility (CSR) is increasingly becoming a strategic issue that has to be dealt with by top management. The aim of the present study is to analyse the role that women directors can play as driving forces behind the development of CSR in organisations, and contribute to sustainable development. Despite the fact that gender diversity is acquiring considerable importance, most research has focused on analysing how it affects financial performance. In this study, we analyse the implications that gender diversity has on CSR. To do so, we have carried out an empirical study of a sample of firms from a variety of countries and sectors to determine whether those firms with a higher percentage of women on the board of directors are more socially responsible. The results support the hypothesis that gender diversity has a positive influence on CSR. Female talent can play a strategic role in enabling firms to manage their social responsibility and sustainable practices appropriately. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment

Dem Begriff Corporate Social Responsibility wird aktuell auf unternehmenspolitischer Ebene immer mehr Aufmerksamkeit entgegen gebracht. Es sind mittlerweile nicht nur Parameter wie Umsatz oder Gewinn, die den Unternehmensalltag prägen und lenken. Das Auftreten von Unternehmen in der Öffentlichkeit und der damit verbundenen Verantwortung gegenüber der Gesellschaft gewinnt immer mehr an Relevanz. Das Vorhandensein von Plattformen oder Wettbewerben für Corporate Social Responsibility, macht diese Entwicklung sowie Bedeutsamkeit dieser Thematik nachvollziehbar. CSR ist ein Marketingtool und wird einerseits von Unternehmen genutzt, um sich öffentlichkeitswirksam zu präsentieren. Andererseits bewirken die eingesetzten Methoden einen Nutzen für Dritte. Zugleich besteht jedoch auch die Gefahr des sogenannten ?Greenwashing? ? also eines schlicht oberflächlichen und nur zum eigenen Vorteil genutzten Einsatzes von CSR. Aus diesem Grund wird die Frage verfolgt, ob und inwiefern Corporate Social Responsibility als Modeerscheinung bezeichnet werden kann. Um diese Fragestellung zu beantworten, wurden Interviews mit Verantwortlichen für CSR in unterschiedlichen Unternehmen durchgeführt. Dabei handelt es sich um Betriebe, in denen die Thematik CSR rege verfolgt wird und die außerdem an einem Wettbewerb für CSR (TRIGOS) teilgenommen haben. Im Rahmen der durchgeführten Interviews werden unter anderem Parameter dargestellt, die sich mit der Motivation, CSR anzuwenden, Positionierungsaspekten sowie der Erwartungshaltung gegenüber dieses Marketingtools beschäftigen. ; Currently Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is getting more and more awareness as a concept in corporate-policy. By now, parameters like turnover or profit are not the only ones to shape and direct an enterprises everyday life anymore. The corporate appearance in public, including their responsibility towards society, is gaining relevance. As a result, the existence of platforms or competitions for Corporate Social Responsibility makes the development and importance of this subject even more comprehensible. On the one hand CSR can be seen as a marketing tool which is used by companies in order to present themselves in a positive way in the public. On the other hand the used methods result in a benefit of other parties. At the same time there is a risk of so-called ?Greenwashing?, which means a superficial use of CSR just for profit-orientated reasons. Consequently the question has to be raised if and to what extend Corporate Social Responsibility can be seen as a temporary fashion. In order to answer this question, persons responsible for CSR in different companies were interviewed. These companies were chosen because of their briskly adoption of CSR in their corporate philosohy and furthermore since they are participants in a competition for CSR (TRIGOS). In context of these interviews parameters like the companies motivation of implementing CSR, their positioning as well as their expectations of CSR as a marketing tool were discussed. ; Natalie Strelli ; Abweichender Titel laut Übersetzung der Verfasserin/des Verfassers ; Zsfassung in dt. und engl.

Graphic design's function develops through time. It does not only function to inform a product but also elements to communicate Corporate Social Responsibility. As happened in catastrophic areas in Indonesia like Aceh in 2004, Nias in 2005, Jogjakarta in 2007, Bekasi District in 2009, etc. many donated products had their contributor's information, especially the ones from corporations. There are many ways a company could implement their social responsibility. Graphic design cannot stand alone, it needs an effective media for its placement, one of them is packaging design. By using a Biskiz Susu packaging design as a case study, I try to analyze the design elements, like color, shape, brand, illustration/character, typography, and layout and then connect them with aspects like: the visual perception impact of packaging design and the importance in communicating Corporate Social Responsibility. For input information, I also discuss some consideration aspects of placing the contributor's identity on the packaging. Based on this study, the contributor's information in the products gives many advantages. The result shows that graphic design could be the effective element for communicating Corporate Social Responsibility and packaging design can be one of the recommended media for graphic design placement. Hopefully, this analysis could help a corporation, organization or the government in organizing the graphic design elements and considering a packaging as a medium to communicate Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

This study investigates the differences between zombie firms and non-zombie firms in corporate social responsibility activities such as reporting, disclosure and fulfillment. Using Chinese listing company data collected from 2009 to 2016, we apply a three stage model with a double Heckman correction to deal with potential self-selection/endogeneity bias and to measure the differences consistently. We found that zombie firms are less willing to release standalone corporate social responsibility reports than non-zombie firms. Among companies that release standalone corporate social responsibility reports, the corporate social responsibility disclosure of zombie firms is at least not worse than non-zombie firms, but the corporate social responsibility fulfillment is significantly lower. We conclude from this gap between disclosure and fulfillment to the hypocritical behavior of zombie firms, due to the absence of control in corporate social responsibility. We suggest that government should enhance supervision over zombie firms' corporate social responsibility activities and subsidies towards them in order to lower their economic damage. Supplementary analyses provide some clues concerning the heterogeneity of inconsistence in term of external support characteristics, ownership and censorship which require further studies.

Business practices in Japan inspire fierce and even acrimonious debate, especially when they are compared to American practices. This book attempts to explain the remarkable economic success of Japan in the postwar period--a success it is crucial for us to understand in a time marked by controversial trade imbalances and concerns over competitive industrial performance. Gerlach focuses on what he calls the intercorporate alliance, the innovative and increasingly pervasive practice of bringing together a cluster of affiliated companies that extends across a broad range of markets. The best known of these alliances are the keiretsu, or enterprise groups, which include both diversified families of firms located around major banks and trading companies and vertical families of suppliers and distributors linked to prominent manufacturers in the automobile, electronics, and other industries. In providing a key link between isolated local firms and extended international markets, the intercorporate alliance has had profound effects on the industrial and social organization of Japanese businesses. Gerlach casts his net widely. He not only provides a rigorous analysis of intercorporate capitalism in Japan, making useful distinctions between Japanese and American practices, but he also develops a broad theoretical context for understanding Japan's business networks. Addressing economists, sociologists, and other social scientists, he argues that the intercorporate alliance is as much a result of overlapping political, economic, and social forces as are such traditional Western economic institutions as the public corporation and the stock market. Most compellingly, Alliance Capitalism raises important questions about the best method of exchange in any economy. It identifies situations where cooperation among companies is an effective way of
