In this paper, we consider how global brands, through their growing involvement with corporate social responsibility, facilitate expressions of everyday, moral cosmopolitanism among youth. Focusing on the brands toms and H&M, we use a case study approach to examine how the brands establish contexts of consumption that support cosmopolitan performances – ways of being, feeling, or acting cosmopolitan with the brand. We also use Instagram research to explore how young people activate such cosmopolitan affordances through online activity. Focusing on the moral dimensions of cosmopolitan consumption, we contribute to existing work on aesthetic cosmopolitanism among youth by charting the different ways in which young people also express moral cosmopolitan ideals through their engagement with global brands. The paper provides a critical reflection on branded moral cosmopolitanism, outlining its contradictions, while drawing attention to the complexity of young people’s moral consumer cosmopolitanisms, as they emerge through entanglements of global brands, csr, consumption, and young people’s existing and aspirational orientations, interests, and lifestyles.

The implementation of CSR programs of Tiaka refinery is based on financial, goods assistance, and several empowerment programs. However, the community’s response is negative. The community’s disappointment and dissatisfaction are accompanied by threats to the Tiaka refinery. This study uses a case study approach on Kolo Bawah, Baturube, and Tanasumpu to understand PT. Joint Operation Body (JOB) Pertamina Medco Tomori Sulawesi impacts on the loss of livelihood of the Bajo ethnic community in Kolo Bawah. The results show that the Bajo communities in Kolo Bawah are excluded from their living and cultural space because of the refinery. CSR activities and community empowerment are unable to reduce the economic and social burden of Bajo communities. CSR activities are not transparent, partial, and not accompanied by a needs assessment. CSR/CD activities remain as a source of mutual suspicion between regions, community and ethnic groups.

This study is the first to investigate the use of Aboriginal art for marketing purposes. Over 2000 major enterprises in Europe and North America collect art, but in Australia relatively few do. Research has established that art collections contribute to corporate identity, but this has not been studied in Australia. Using a qualitative case study approach, this exploratory study investigates how art collections are used to support the work of three Australian banking and law firms whose collections include Aboriginal art. We asked respondents from each firm how and why they collected Aboriginal art and their perception of the role of art in symbolizing their firm’s values and culture. Aboriginal art was found to contribute to a firm’s identity and corporate social responsibility, especially when collections included the work of emerging artists and more challenging political content. It also presented a friendly face to Aboriginal clients. For firms in overseas markets, Aboriginal art served to signal a firm’s Australianness.

Since the 1990s, many Chinese small and medium-sized export-oriented firms have begun to accept higher corporate social responsibility (CSR) standards because of factory inspections. In recent years, firms have been facing greater market competition in a period of transition. Different firms have different attitudes toward CSR behavior in same external macroenvironment, and some firms have formed a CSR strategy. To further explore the issue, this paper studied the impact of space delocalization and time delocalization on the CSR strategy of Chinese small and medium-sized export-oriented firms based on social structure theory. Using the case study approach, the results showed the following: (1) space delocalization can stimulate the CSR behavior of firms, although some behaviors are the result of compromise, and CSR strategy will not be initiated because of passive CSR behavior; (2) the stimulation of space delocalization can stimulate endogenous changes, but the cultural background of time delocalization has a far-reaching impact on the formation of CSR strategy.

Depth Interviews

The discussion of related Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the area of scholarship in Indonesia has been done in any progress. Refers to several studies that have been conducted, the results showed there are still many companies that run CSR programs does more than just as a powerful tool for development and improvement of the company image within the community. By taking the case on Program Pendampingan Posyandu Pelawi Menuju Posyandu Mandiri, leading to this study would be a different and more direct discussion on the explanation of the foundation that supports the sustainability of the program. This study uses qualitative methods with referring to a case study approach. Data obtained in this study is based on two stages, namely: in-depth interviews and field observations. The result shows that social capital and multi-stakeholders cooperation have been put to good use as a foundation of the sustainability program including its activities. However, the program is not free from criticism. Social capital used in the program tend to be exaggerated. When the use of excessive social capital persists, it will make Posyandu Pelawi dependency. Even though, as a preliminary, social support from various parties is very necessary for the Program. The goal efforts of achievement Program from stakeholders are still spontaneity and not specifically.
