Sensitive Issues

Chapter 9 pushes further the frontier of the discussion into a new, growing and controversial governance debate area: that of corporate social responsibility. One of the most sensitive issues in polycentric governance systems, with their hybrid institutional arrangements at the dynamic interface between the “public” and the “private,” is to specify what are—and what are not—the responsibilities of the private sector—business firms and enterprises—when it comes to the public domain. This chapter offers an exploratory attempt to address this challenge. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has emerged in the last several decades as a preeminent concept and issue area engaging the problem of public role of private business. This chapter demonstrates how the ideas and theories discussed so far combine, complement, and bolster this literature and the applied-level insights based on it.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a significant field of studies to stress the importance of the new role of organizations towards the society for sustainable development. Nowadays, an enormous number of authors have been participating in this field to highlight the responsibility of organizations towards the community, society and the natural environment where they are operating. Despite the growing number of researches related to CSR in the developed countries little empirical studies have been devoted to examine CSR concept and practice in the African countries, the MENA region (Middle-East and North Africa), as well as in the Golf countries. This chapter seeks to study CSR concept and practice in the emerging market economies (EMEs). It will mainly focus on the implementations of CSR by the public banking sector. We will investigate the role of the public banking sector existing in an Arab country in comparison to an Asian country to explain and analyze the similarities and differences of CSR activities in both experiences. In this comparative study we will primarily examine Banque Misr, as one of the oldest and largest public bank in Egypt and the Malayan Banking Berhad (trading as Maybank) as the largest public bank in Malaysia. After a meticulous review of literature, we propose a systemic framework to study CSR practices and policy implementations. We illustrated the CSR as a constant process where all variables are interrelated and are affecting each other in a mutual approach. In this systemic framework we advocated to study all significant variables related to CSR practice as: the history/philosophy development, core-values, CSR adopted definition, motives, key players, approaches, stakeholders focus, sectors of intervention and mechanisms of policy implementations. The chapter concludes that common CSR policies exist between the Malaysian and the Egyptian experience. Nevertheless the Malaysian model has formulated an elaborated and further sophisticated CSR public banking program. Meanwhile, the Egyptian model needs to adopt more global oriented CSR public banking policies, in particular to assure the sustainable development requirements.

In implementing sustainable development policy, corporate social responsibility and other voluntary business initiatives plays the crucial role. Business plays the central role in economy and its voluntary initiatives such as signing the Global Compact and developing corporate social responsibility (CSR) are the main tools for implementing sustainable development on local, regional and global levels. However, also the public sector plays an important role in enhancing CSR development in the country. There exit several studies on CSR development in the Lithuanian private sector; however, the role of the public sector has not yet been investigated.The aim of the work was to investigate the development of CSR in the Lithuanian public sector. The main goals of the article are to analyse the concept of corporate social responsibility and to identify the main driving forces of CSR development in the public sector, its main barriers and means of overcoming these barriers.The article summarizes the results of a survey conducted in the Lithuanian public sector. The survey has shown that corporate social responsibility is not widely spread among public administration bodies at the local level. The main factors having a negative impact on social responsibility development in the public sector are the lack of information, of human and other resources.

The doctrine of corporate social responsibility (CSR), which has emerged and developed rapidly as a field of study, is a framework for the role of business in society. It sets standards of behavior to which a company must subscribe in order to impact society in a positive and productive manner while abiding by values that exclude seeking profit at any cost. Despite the many attempts to construe CSR initiatives, it remains open to wide criticism for its inherent problems via-à-vis justification, conceptual clarity, and possible inconsistency. These problems are more acute when it comes to implementing and operationalizing CSR on the ground, especially in a situation that involves trade-offs. This paper offers an instructive understanding of CSR from an Islamic perspective. In particular, the implication of maqasid al-Shari`ah (the Shari`ah’s objectives) and the application of maslahah (the public good) to CSR are discussed in detail to shed light on how Islam’s holistic and dynamic perception of CSR take into consideration reality and ever-changing circumstances. These principles also provide a better framework that managers can use when faced with potential conflicts arising from the diverse expectations and interests of a corporation’s stakeholders.

Challenges and role of accountings in the development of human civilization from now on and henceforth is by encouraging human awareness of social responsibility in economic activities, information disclosure, and managing resources productively, efficiently and sustainably, formulating the principles of economic justice, balance of spending and exploitation of resources to achieve mutual prosperity. In the next picture it is hoped that there will be a new balance between the role of the State in the economic field, the role of the corporation, the role of individuals and the role of the public in various social activities. To realize this new balance, challenges must start from corporations to implement sustainable economic activities. This is what is meant by the Islamic worldviews on corporate social responsibility as a new paradigm, namely the practise of ethical economics to achieve mutual prosperity.

Measuring university engagement or societal impact is becoming a popular way to assess the public good role of universities. Rankings have been early movers in this area, but do they tell us anything meaningful? And while it is important to ask about the role and responsibility of universities, it is about time that we asked about the corporate social responsibility (CSR) of the ranking organizations themselves, given that their real intent is to sell magazines and newspapers and/or consultancy?
