This paper adopts a neo-institutional perspective to help classify and explain the heterogeneity among Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability (CSRS) programs in universities. Four specific types of programs: 1) ignorer, 2) initiator, 3) imitator, and 4) innovator are identified and discussed with respect to their antecedents and potential outcomes. By considering internal and external forces simultaneously we delineate the motivation for CSRS program variety. A major perspective is that all institutions cannot prioritize CSRS education and that this decision is not based solely on internal limitations but also external realities.

NGO–firm partnerships have been well studied in the literature on corporate social responsibility (CSR) (Marano and Tashman 2012; Dahan et al. 2010; Oetzel and Doh 2009). However, these studies have generally limited their focus to Western multinationals and Western NGOs and, moreover, not by-and-large examine in depth the institutional settings under which either the firm or the NGO operates Building on recent institutional approaches to CSR (Brammer, Jackson, and Matten 2012; Kang and Moon 2012; Matten and Moon 2008), this paper examines how the institutional dynamics of several partnerships between Chinese firms and NGOs affect the manifestation of CSR (e.g. “implicit” vs. “explicit”). The paper also looks into how CSR and NGO–firm collaboration plays out within a changing state-corporatist framework in Chinese context (Unger and Chan 1995, 2008; Hsu and Hasmath forthcoming). The paper then argues 1) that the involvement of an NGO in the partnership reflects a changing institutional setting in China, and 2) that type and level of involvement of Chinese government institutions affects whether a given firm takes an “implicit” or an “explicit” approach to CSR.

Companies are expected not only to succeed economically, but also ecologically and socially. Companies can use the issue of corporate responsibility to capture new markets and opportunities. But new requirements arise. Thus, stakeholders may exert pressure on companies to assume social responsibility, whereas executives shall lead by example. This paper tries to assess possiblities to meet stakeholder expectations towards companies by implementing corporate social responsibility concepts. We identify primary and secondary stakeholders of companies by using salience theory and try to give conceptual answers how the well-known concept of Caroll‟s corporate social responsibility pyramid my help to improve the current situation and to take top management and supervisory boards into account to establish a change of focus on corporate social responsibility not just as a hot topic.

Bridge Building

This chapter introduces transnational law as a bridge-building modality between different forms of knowledge, internal as well as external to the law. It juxtaposes, in an exemplarily way, legal and anthropological knowledge about corporate social responsibility in global value chains in order to reveal transnational law’s faculty to find creative solutions to border-transcending human problems. It shows how nonlegal knowledge may inform on legal doctrine through an investigation of certain anthropological concepts—such as the gift and reciprocity, performance and the secular ritual, relational personhood and detachment. This chapter presents a way of ‘doing interdisciplinarity’ that avoids the danger of instrumentalizing nonlegal knowledge to find ‘better’ solutions to doctrinal problems. By drawing on transnational law as a methodology of mutual irritation and translation, this chapter pushes the boundaries of legal research into the pressing questions of corporate responsibility in entangled cross-border economic relations.s
