This chapter considers the role of international oil companies (IOCs) as global political actors with significant economic and political power. In doing so, we weigh the ethical costs and benefits for individuals, companies, and states alike. Using the concepts of “corporate social responsibility” (CSR) and “corporate citizenship” as points of departure, we consider the extent to which international oil companies have social and political responsibilities in the countries where they operate and what the host country can do to encourage this sort of behavior. We examine the nature of anticorruption legislation in several of the sending countries (including Norway), and look closely at how the Norwegian national oil company (NOC), Statoil, has navigated these ethical waters.

The Impact

This article adds to the international business and corporate social responsibility (CSR) literature by investigating the impact of foreign ownership on the CSR expenditures of firms in a host country, within an emerging market context. Previous studies have examined the relationship between ownership structure and CSR engagement, primarily for the case of developed nations. This article explores the linkages between the CSR spending of foreign-owned firms in relation to their domestic counterparts for the Indian context. India provides a unique case because of the landmark legislation undertaken in 2014 that mandated CSR spending for firms based in India. This study examines the motivations that guide the CSR strategies of foreign firms in host nations and attempts to explain the usage of CSR spending as a tool to overcome Liability of Foreignness and achieve legitimacy using the neo-institutional theory. Within this unique setting, a sample of 3591 firm years in India for 2014–2018 is used to examine whether foreign-owned firms indulge in a higher CSR expenditure relative to domestic firms, using a random-effects model. Further, it is also examined whether business group-affiliated foreign firms spend differently on CSR than standalone foreign enterprises in the host nation. The results show that foreign ownership is associated with a higher CSR spending than domestic firms by an average of ₹1.35 million in the host country. Furthermore, among foreign firms, a business group affiliation leads to a higher CSR spending by an average of ₹1.55 million as compared to stand-alone foreign firms.

Purpose Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a new trend that has swept the world of business by storm. With globalization proceeding unabated and CSR acquiring global interest and resonance, examining how companies can make adaptations to their CSR in an international context becomes a timely and important issue. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on institutional theory, this study aims to identify three types of host country institutional complexity that accompany the internationalization process, namely, cultural, regulatory and economic, hence necessitating nuanced CSR adaptations in context and as illustrated in this paper requiring different tailoring and adaptation of CSR programs and interventions between developed and developing countries. Findings The authors propose a series of research propositions for exploration toward broadening and deepening the understanding of the above institutional complexities and the necessity of CSR tailoring and adaptation to accompany the internationalization process. Originality/value The paper is one of the first to highlight the necessity of CSR tailoring in the context of the internationalization process while considering host country institutional complexity highlighting nuanced differences between developed and developing country landscapes and implications for how multinational corporations should approach CSR in these differentiated environments.
