The issue of theoretical foundations of the economic nature of the organizational and economic mechanism of social responsibility of business is elaborated on. It is demonstrated that the organizational and economic basis for the mechanism designed to regulate corporate social responsibility is consisted of government regulation, shared regulation and self-regulation of corporate social responsibility. The central objectives of the regulatory policy of corporate social responsibility are highlighted: to engage business entities in solving social and economic problems; to introduce the innovation-driven model for fostering the social responsibility; to create new jobs and reduce unemployment.   The authors’ definition of the organization and economic mechanism for corporate social responsibility is proposed: a set of organizational and economic measures aimed to trigger interactions between business entities and the state for fostering social responsibility, implemented through regulatory acts and on the business entities’ initiative, in order to attain the sustainable development through creating partner relations of the state, business and society.       It is demonstrated that the organizational and economic mechanism for corporate social responsibility constitutes a multi-tier hierarchical system of organizational and economic components (functional components: entities, objects, principles), tools for mechanism implementation (tools of organizational, economic and social nature), and methodological support (administrative, economic, index and rating methods).

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) at the macro-level and well-established dimensions of national culture offered by Hofstede’s framework. Design/methodology/approach The authors employ a composite index for quantifying CSR proliferation and present new findings on the role of cultural specificity – proxied by Hofstede’s dimensions – on CSR endorsement among national business sectors. Findings Results indicate that cultural perspectives pertaining to “long-term vs short-term orientation” as well as “indulgence vs restraint” affect positively the composite CSR index, while “uncertainty avoidance” has a negative impact. In contrast, the effect of “power distance,” “individualism” and “masculinity” is found to be insignificant. Originality/value The study offers new insights to institutional theorists as well as political economy researchers for a deeper investigation of informal institutions, such as culture, which shape national or regional specificities of CSR and retain a moderating effect on the voluntary/self-regulation activities of business entities.

This book chapter will make the case that corporate social responsibility (CSR) mainstreaming is an imperative to promote integrity and alleviate the strong entrenchment of utilitarian perspectives permeating management education (Ghoshal, 2005). The chapter argues that CSR mainstreaming should be anchored in the context of a vision for responsibility at the level of the School and that, starting with visioning and strategizing, business schools have to assume a more proactive role in shaping a new generation of leaders, capable of managing the complex challenges that lie at the interface of business and society. The chapter highlights challenges and opportunities in this respect and the critical role of the UN Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) in helping in this reorientation. The book chapter tackles these two interrelated themes systematically, and illustrate with the case of the Olayan School of Business, a leading business school in the Middle East.
