Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the distinctive elements of CSR communications that characterize the communications models of family businesses in the Italian wine industry, and to compare them with nonfamily businesses. Design/methodology/approach Using a case study approach, a sample of large and medium companies practicing corporate social responsibility was identified. The content of their websites was examined using content analysis and text mining (correspondence analysis techniques and word association analysis using the T-Lab software). Findings The analysis indicates that the ownership structure nature makes a difference in the online CSR communications process. The cultural identity in both family and nonfamily businesses is founded on intangible factors such as tradition; however, being a family business is a fundamental driver in the online CSR communications process, no longer forming a bond among players in the wine industry, but rather linking with other wine family businesses. Research limitations/implications One limitation of this work is the small size of the investigated sample. An added value it contributes is its focus on the Italian wine industry. The paper provides the essential elements that family and nonfamily wine businesses should consider in customizing their CSR communications with the brand’s specific details. Originality/value The authors highlighted the similarities and differences of family and nonfamily wine businesses in terms of their online CSR communications. The authors also observed how the family wine business identity, in its multidimensional construct, has common factors with what we call “familiness.” This research could establish a starting point for further work within this important sector.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) gewinnt für Unternehmen und Stakeholder zunehmend an Bedeutung. Das glaubhafte Bekenntnis zur verantwortungsvollen Unternehmensführung ist eine Grundvoraussetzung, um als guter Corporate Citizen zu agieren. Es wird allerdings der Zeitpunkt kommen, den Mehrwert der eingeschlagenen Strategie (auch im Interesse der Shareholder) zu belegen und hierüber auch explizit Rechenschaft zu legen. Vor dem Hintergrund der teilweise nicht unerheblichen finanziellen Aufwendungen für CSR, auch um zu belegen, dass CSR kein Selbstzweck ist, beschäftigt sich der Artikel konzeptionell damit, wie dieser Herausforderung im Kontext einer wertorientierten Unternehmensführung begegnet werden könnte.

The core principles of Islamic corporate social responsibility (CSR) are derived from al-Qur'ān and Sunnah, while the major foundations of Islamic CSR principles are unity, viceregency and trusteeship, justice and equilibrium, and rights and responsibilities. Man is a vicegerent (khalifah) or representative of Allah on Earth and trustee of resources provided by Allah (SWT). As a khalifah or leader in organisation, they have greater responsibility to utilise all these given things and facilities by Allah to the best of their abilities to create maximum added value to the organisation itself and to the whole community. The purpose of this chapter is to explore how Islamic ethics and corporate social responsibility (CSR) are two compatible concepts.

This study aimed to adopt the perspective of corporate social responsibility (CSR) to explore the intention of sustainable product development in Taiwan, as well as leading to the creation of influential factors that affect corporate sustainable product development intention. In this research, the induction analysis was conducted to understand the implementation of sustainable product development, and this was supplemented with questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews to evaluate developmental intention. In addition, principal component analysis was used for factor analysis and content analysis in the 6 W expression method, leading to the creation of the influential factors. The research results have demonstrated that the factors affecting the intention of corporate sustainable product development include having a sustainable design and a development purpose, a corporate development purpose, sustainable development concepts, a sustainable design value, a sustainability concept, and a manufacturing process quality. For sustainable product development, corporate social responsibility needs to be most concerned with the added value of products, regulation requirements, and accommodation of the industrial chain, costs, and quality.

Objective - The objective of this study is to propose the implementation of the concept of ihsan intoa company's Shari'ah Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Methodology/Technique - Ihsan, as a concept in Islam, can be assessed from several approaches i.e., normative approach, theoretical approach, and empirical approach. A Company's CSR activities aim to provide welfare to stakeholders but many theories propose different points of view. The entity theory argues that stakeholders are the shareholders only while the enterprise theory holds a broader view suggesting that stakeholder are not only the shareholders but that other stakeholders are involved. Meanwhile, the Shari'ah's enterprise theory states that stakeholders include God, human, and nature. The difference existing among these theories motivate every company to implement the CSR activities based on the concept of ihsan. Findings - Results of this study show that the implementation of the concept of ihsaninto the Shari'ah's CSR could provide the Shari'ah added value. Novelty - This study contends thatthe CSR is not only to improve the reputation of the company but also to worship God via the concept of ihsan. Type of Paper Review Keywords: Ihsan Concept; Shari'ah Corporate Social Responsibility; Shari'ah Enterprise Theory; Shari'ah Added Value. JEL Classification: L53, M14.
