The reputation of business in Hong Kong includes alleged exploitation of labor and a lack of social responsiveness, which may be due to the nature of its trade unions, its laissez-faire government, and traditional management practices. A recent study identifies attitudes concerning social responsibility that prevail in Hong Kong corporations.

Die Fähigkeit eines Unternehmens, über den Tellerrand des rein wirtschaftlichen Handelns hinauszublicken und sich als glaubwürdiges Glied in der Gesellschaft zu definieren, gilt als zunehmend wichtiger Erfolgsfaktor. Als ungenügend wird die enge opportunistische Ausrichtung des Managementhandelns auf den Shareholder Value gegeißelt. Der Gesellschaft wird die Legitimation zugesprochen, die Unternehmen darauf hin zu beurteilen, ob sie in ihren Aktivitäten moralischen Grundsätzen standhalten und zu einem „guten“ gesellschaftlichen Leben beitragen. Umgekehrt wird von den Unternehmen verlangt, diesen Beitrag zur „Social Responsiveness“ sichtbar zu machen, sich offen gegenüber der Unternehmensumwelt zu verhalten, ein ehrliches Verhalten an den Tag zu legen und auf die Interessen und Anliegen der Stakeholder konstruktiv einzugehen. Die nachfolgenden Standpunkte zum Thema CSR beleuchten die Thematik aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven. Matthias Karmasin gibt einen methodischen Überblick über die Konzeptionen und Instrumente von CSR und verweist auf die hohe Verantwortung von Medien unternehmen, sich ernsthaft mit CSR auseinander zu setzen. Peter Strahlendorf zeigt auf, dass sich im Bereich der Medienunternehmen zahlreiche Beispiele für eindrucksvolle CSR-Aktivitäten finden lassen, dass teilweise aber auch Nach holbedarf, z. B. im Vergleich zur Industrie, besteht. Florian Nehm fokussiert den Blick auf das Nachhaltigkeitskonzept bei der Axel Springer AG.

Recently, scholars and managers have devoted greater attention to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its strategic implications. With more awareness surrounding the topic it would be expected for there to be a consensus on a definition, but as of yet none has been reached. The lack of a universally accepted definition has led some to define it as a term, a concept, a process, a theory, while others simply call it an activity or set of activities (Hazlett & Murray, 2007). CSR has been also captioned under many names. Terms such as corporate citizenship, global citizenship, corporate social responsiveness, strategic philanthropy, and even spiritual capitalism are sometimes used interchangeably, depending on the organization to use it. Often, these numerous monikers and interpretations lead to confusion amongst those intending to study or implement the practice into their business strategy. This uncertainty on how CSR should be defined has led some academics and practitioners to believe that the concept is void of any definition. Contrary to this belief, others find that there is an overabundance of definitions; many of which are “often biased toward specific interests and thus prevent the development and implementation of the concept” (Dahlsrud, 2008). Our study focuses on the importance of CSR and why it’s becoming so prevalent in any organizations. By studying the history of CSR, its many definitions, as well as its implementation methods, we attempt to suggest strategic alternatives for an effective corporate social responsibility.

Normative Considerations

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is argued to be a flawed concept in the same way as sustainable development in that it seeks to combine two aspects which are incommensurable. Nevertheless CSR contains an expanding space for social and environmental concerns under the guise of stakeholder management which undoubtedly influences the commercial bottom line. It is proposed that the concept of corporate citizenship is separated from what is now termed corporate social responsiveness to encompass truly ethical and normative considerations which in business should be manifested by a wholehearted acceptance of the need for regulation, lobbying for the universality of that regulation and an avoidance of undue influence on government. Proper roles for the three partners in society, namely government, commerce and civil society are explored together with the nature of citizenship.

The field of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has developed exponentially in the last decade and is consistently getting to be a worldwide slant. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become a worldwide matter around the world that comes about an expanding number of studies on CSR universally as well as in Malaysia. Furthermore, the importance of CSR practices was emphasized by companies in order to ensure its sustainability in corporate world which are focused on (a) environment, (b) social dimension sustainability, (c) economic advancement, (d) stakeholder behaviour and (e) ethical evolution of society. In this manner, this paper gives a concept of CSR writing that has been conducted in Malaysia to assess the execution of CSR among organizations in Malaysia. It is presently anticipated that organizations expressly take into consideration all perspectives of their execution, not as it were their money related comes about, but moreover their social and commerce environment. Subsequently, most of organizations are presently locked in genuine endeavours to characterize and coordinated CSR into all perspectives of their businesses and exhibitions. The point of our think about is to get it this slant in Malaysia and particularly to explore (i) the status of CSR in Malaysia; (ii) different CSR practices in Malaysia; and (iii) future dissemination of CSR in Malaysia. Finally, over the last few decades, Malaysia has been gradually improving its alignment with global management practices such as quality management and ISO 9002.

Core Issues

This article considers how European sectoral social partners have tackled and promoted the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR), and to what extent their common actions have given CSR a tangible and practical form. After reviewing sectoral social dialogue and trade unions’ attitudes to CSR, the authors report on research into the activities of sectoral social dialogue committees. The research shows that many of the sectoral social dialogue committees, whether they consider themselves to be active or not on CSR, have been grappling with the core issues raised by the concept over a number of years. The development of the European institutional debate on CSR has clearly led to the ‘redefinition’ of activities carried out in the framework of the sectoral social dialogue, in some cases offering new impetus to common actions and broadening the scope of debate, while in other cases offering ‘old wine in new bottles'. This article further analyses the specific activities of the sectoral social dialogue committees in the sugar sector.
