The Role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the New Economy

2004

The idea of corporate social responsibility has come to be accepted as one of the major components of business growth and sustainability. The success in the new economy comes with various challenges. Those challenges require business and their managers to think beyond traditional way of looking for short-term goals. It requires business and the people inside these behemoths to embrace a much broader perspective that is also inclusive of stakeholders. The nature of society we are living in has changed. The nature of governance has equally changed since people are now enjoying more freedom within each societal democratic tenet. This freedom has found its way in the business and into the facto…

Not just for the sake of a report : enhancing corporate social responsibility reporting by involving stakeholders

2015

The purpose of this study was to find out if it is possible to improve the case organisation’s corporate social responsibility reporting by involving stakeholders. The research was conducted as a case study in Helen Ltd, a Finnish energy utility, and it focuses on the stakeholder views of the case company. The frame of reference for the study is stakeholder theory. The literature review focuses especially on the role of stakeholder involvement in corporate social responsibility reporting. The research data was gathered using a multiple strategy approach via an online survey and a workshop. The data was analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively using content analysis. In the analysis, t…

Corporate social irresponsibility & electronic word of mouth : case Volkswagen emissions crisis

2017

Even though corporations’ interest towards corporate social responsibility (CSR) has significantly increased in the last decades, organizations still commit various acts of corporate social irresponsibility (CSI). At the same time the emergence of social media has offered stakeholders interact in ways formerly unimaginable, and the content of these conversations is slipping further away of organizational control. This research participates the theoretical conversations of CSR, CSI and stakeholder research as well as the active stream of social media and electronic word of mouth (eWOM) research. This thesis is a case study researching eWOM related to Volkswagen emissions crisis in 2015. As t…

Using uncertain preferential information from stakeholders to assess the acceptability of alternative forest management plans

2017

In forest management planning, participatory planning processes are often encouraged as a means to acquire relevant information and to enhance the stakeholders' acceptability of alternative plans. This requires the aggregation of the stakeholders' preferences that can be done in a wide variety of manners. The aggregation process strives to reduce the information into a single set of preferences that simplifies the information and allows for the use of discrete decision support tools. Depending on how the preferences are aggregated, a wide range of plan rankings can emerge. Although this range of ranking complicates the issue of plan selection, it does highlight the uncertainty involved in a…

Eettisesti haastavat tilanteet ja niiden kuormittavuus johtajien työssä: fokusryhmäkeskusteluiden analyysi

2010

Tässä pilottitutkimuksessa tutkittiin laadullisesti johtajien työssään kokemia eettisesti haastavia tilanteita (sisällöt, kontekstit) sekä niissä koettuja ristiriitakokemuksia. Työtilanteita luokiteltiin laadullisen aineiston pohjalta. Aineisto kerättiin 16 suomalaisen johtajan fokusryhmäkeskusteluista (neljä ryhmää). Tulokset osoittivat, että johtajat kohtasivat usein työssään erilaisia eettisesti haastavia tilanteita suhteessa organisaation sidosryhmiin. Näitä sidosryhmiä olivat organisaation toimintaympäristö eli yhteiskunta, asiakkaat, omistajat sekä henkilöstö (johto, kollegat ja alaiset). Haastavien tilanteiden sisällöt jakautuivat viiteen luokkaan: 1) monimutkaiset työtilanteet, 2) r…

Public relations and expectation theory : Introducing Relationship Expectation Theory (RET) for public relations

2021

Expectations provide organizations with information and cues about their stakeholders’ and publics’ values, interests, experiences, and knowledge. This chapter argues for a move that takes expectations beyond the current cursory level for different areas of public relations—reputation management, corporate responsibility, issues management, and legitimacy—toward explicit theoretical understanding and models for addressing expectations. The chapter introduces expectations as an intersecting phenomenon in public relations research and builds postulations for theorizing expectations in public relations by reviewing theories that address expectations in relationships, and by exploring different…

Typensidonta ja siihen osallistuva mikrobiyhteisö soiden primäärisukkessiojatkumon rahkasammalissa

2011

Rahkasammalet (Sphagnum spp.) ovat pohjoisten soiden valtalajeja, joiden rakenne ja toiminta vaikuttavat suoekosysteemin sukkessioon. Turpeenmuodostuksen ansiosta pohjoisten seutujen rahkasammalvaltaisten soiden merkitys on suuri myös maailmanlaajuisessa hiilen kierrossa. Sammalten ylläpitämien kosteiden olojen ansiosta soilla elää monimuotoinen aineiden kiertoon osallistuva mikrobiyhteisö. Rahkasammalissa elävät metanotrofit tarjoavat rahkasammalille hiilen lähteen metaaninhapetuksessa (CH4) syntyvästä hiilidioksidista. Metaaninhapetuksen lisäksi metanotrofit voivat sitoa typpeä. Soilla elää myös muita bakteereja, joilla on edellytykset typensidontaan. Rahkasammalet voivat tarjota myös näi…

Shedding Light on Early Stage Academic Entrepreneurship : Finnish University Researchers' View on Key Stakeholder Relations and Their Influence on th…

2020

Since the mid-1980s, along with the opening up of the Finnish economy, the pressure to commercialize university research has steadily increased in Finland. This is in line with the growing importance of innovations in an ever-globalizing world in which purely production- cost-based strategies are about to become obsolete. However, in comparison to other Nordic countries and Western European industrial countries, Finnish investments in research have fallen short in their ability to increase high-technology export levels (Kotiranta and Tahvanainen 2018). Moreover, Finnish academia faces challenges in creating university-based economic activity (Nikulainen and Tahvanainen 2013). In order to he…

Selective Formation of S4- and T-Symmetric Supramolecular Tetrahedral Cages and Helicates in Polar Media Assembled via Cooperative Action of Coordina…

2020

We report on the synthesis and self-assembly study of novel supramolecular monomers encompassing quadruple hydrogen-bonding motifs and metal coordinating 2,2’-bipyridine units. When mixed with metal ions such as Fe2+ or Zn2+, the tetrahedron cage complexes are formed in quantitative yields and full diastereoselectivity, even in highly polar acetonitrile or methanol solvents. The symmetry of the complexes obtained has been shown to depend critically on the flexibility of the ligand. Restriction of the rotation of the hydrogen-bonding unit with respect to the metal coordinating site results in a T-symmetric cage, whereas by introducing flexibility either through a methylene linker or rotating…
