The basic aim of this research was to check the impact of innovation, corporate social responsibilities (CSR), and entrepreneurship on the monetary performance of banks in five different countries: Qatar, Pakistan, China, the United States (US), and France. This research was conducted to measure the relationship of these factors and innovative workforce activities. The secondary data were collected from websites of twenty five banks in different countries, including Islamic and conventional banks. Different econometric analyses, such as descriptive statistical analysis, correlation coefficient test for measuring the interaction, and ordinary least square regression analysis for determining the impact of dependent and independent variables, were carried out. In the present study, entrepreneurship, CSR, and innovation were taken as independent variables. Board size, frequency of assemblies, and self-employed with large shareholders were included as sub-parts of entrepreneurship. On the other hand, the financial performance of banks was taken as the dependent variable. Return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) were considered parts of economic performance. The overall conclusions drawn in this study showed that there was a significant relationship between all the studied variables. The research provided useful insights into the long-debated question regarding the relevance of entrepreneurship and CSR.

Since Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become established in our vocabulary, over the past few years, business enterprises have come under increasing pressure to accept responsibility for the environment in which they function. This paper is aimed to evaluate the impact of company corporate social responsibilities on the development of local communities. The primary data were collected using the quantitative technique. Data were collected from selected areas of Richards Bay in the Northern region of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) province. The sample consisted of 129 respondents from the members of communities. The reliability data of this study found to be significant at 0.782. The results reveal that the majority of respondents believe that they do benefit from a local company in many ways. The findings also indicate that the benefits include creation of jobs, capacity building, technology, contracting and business opportunities and social investment. The finding of this study is limited by the study’s exploratory and quantitative nature. Generalizing should be done with care and further research with larger samples and consideration of the other provinces is therefore recommended.
