Influential Article Review - CSR Performance in International Business in the Context of Developing Economies

Abstract

This paper examines corporate social responsibility. We present insights from a highly influential paper. Here are the highlights from this paper: Research into Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Ghana generally, has seen increased scholarly attention but same cannot be said of the specific area of CSR and International Business (IB), ironically though much of the data on CSR research comes from IBs. This paper therefore reviews existing literature on CSR in Ghana with the objective of identifying gaps and developing a framework to guide future research in CSR and IB because of the peculiarities. The paper underscores the varying and conflicting interests of host and home nations as well as international standards that IBs must navigate in their CSR activities, and applies Impression Management theory to develop a framework for future studies in the subject area in Africa and emerging economies. For our overseas readers, we then present the insights from this paper in Spanish, French, Portuguese, and German.
