PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to determine whether management‐ and marketing‐salient literature focused on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and related issues has evolved from 2003 to 2006, both quantitatively and qualitatively, and to learn which of three competitive epistemological evolutional views (progressive, variegational, normativist) best fits CSR evolution in both disciplines.Design/methodology/approachFollowing an ex professo methodology developed by de Bakker, Groenewegen and Den Hond, a content analysis (CA)‐based empirical examination of 570 papers focused on CSR and corporate social performance (CSP) published in indexed management and marketing journals between 20…
Influence of board of directors on firm performance: Analysis of family and non-family firms
2015
This article analyses how board structure can affect both financial and social performance, comparing family and non-family firms. Our theoretical framework is based on the integration of the agency theory, traditionally used in the analysis of the impact of the board on the firm's financial performance, with the stakeholder theory, which is more appropriate in the analysis of the social aspects of the firm. Three main aspects are addressed: the analysis of the firm's social performance; the integration of agency theory with stakeholder theory; and the study of the specific characteristics of family firms' boards. The research confirms that neither the agency theory nor the stakeholder theo…
CSR przyszłości pomiędzy dyskusją akademicką a codziennością
2018
W niniejszym artykule pokrótce scharakteryzowana zostanie próba rekonstrukcji modelu CSR, która dotyczy pojawienia się w literaturze przedmiotu nowych konceptów jak (1) CSR 2.0, (2) CSV – Corporate Share Value (3) CSP – Corporate Social Performance. Na poziomie empirycznym teoretycy i praktycy z zakresu modelu odpowiedzialności biznesu zgadzają się zasadniczo iż model ten mający początki w praktyce wielkich przedsiębiorstw, w szczególności korporacji transnarodowych, powinien zostać również wdrożony przez inne podmioty, czyli małe i średnie przedsiębiorstwa. Celem artykułu jest odpowiedź na pytanie, czy małe i średnie przedsiębiorstwa scharakteryzować można jako przedsiębiorstwa realizujące…
Performance and international investments in microfinance institutions
2013
Preprint of the published version of an article from Strategic Change Using data from 319 microfinance institutions (MFIs) in 68 developing countries, we study the degree to which international debt investments are related to the financial and social performances of MFIs. We find that commercial investments are mainly related to financial performance and level of professionalisation of the MFIs. The targeting of women is not a priority, even though international commercial investors target MFIs that provide small loans. Subsidised investments, however, are mainly driven by the targeting of women, while financial performance and the level of professionalisation of the MFI is not a priority.
Institutional dimension and finalities of corporate social performance in Tunisia
2012
The purpose of this research is to contribute to the study of Corporate Social Performance (CSP) concept, which provided theorizations remain highly controversial. Indeed, examination of the body of knowledge reveals theoretical, conceptual and empirical anomalies. These shortcomings relate on the operationalization of the CSP, the manner in which the concept has been linked to the notion of performance, and the lack of contextualization of PSE in relation to its institutional environment. It is therefore important to reorganize the concept within a framework that recognizes the dynamic and contingent character of CSP. Thus, this research aims to explore the concept of CSP and analyze its i…

A Comparative Analysis of the Social Performance of Global and Local Berry Supply Chains
2016
The goal of this paper is twofold: to comparatively analyze the social performance of global and local berry supply chains and to explore the ways in which the social dimension is embedded in the overall performance of food supply chains. To achieve this goal, the social performance of five global and local food supply chains in two countries are analyzed: wild blueberry supply chains in Latvia and cultivated raspberry supply chains in Serbia. The study addresses two research questions: (1) What is the social performance of the local and global supply chains? (2) How can references to context help improve understanding of the social dimension and social performance of food supply chains? To…

2015
(VF)Alors que les études portant sur le lien entre mécanismes de gouvernance et performance RSE ont été menées dans le contexte d'économies émergentes, avec une législation environnementale assez récente. Cette étude est menée en France, pays développé où la legislation en matière de reporting sur le développement durable est prégnante. La France est en avance car elle est le premier pays d’Europe à avoir créé une législation en termes de reporting sur le développement durable. La loi de 2001 sur les nouvelles régulations économiques (renforcée en 2010 par la loi dite « Grenelle II ») impose aux entreprises cotées de publier leurs données sociales et environnementales en même temps que leur…
