scholarly journals Sustainable Corporate Entrepreneurship of Publicly Traded Commercial Banks: A Developing Country Perspective

This paper aims to create empirical support about Creating Shared Value (CSV) notion developed by Porter, M.E. and Kramer, M.R. (2011). To accomplish the aim, the study has developed a set of decision rules to recognize banking products or services that can be characterized as Sustainable Corporate Entrepreneurship (SCE). This has been done by reviewing the literature of SCE, CSR, and CSV in the domain. Hereafter, it has made content analysis of annual reports of randomly selected banking corporations in light of the decision rules developed earlier. The purpose is to explain if CSV notion can be used as credible evidence of current SCE practices in the context of developing country like Bangladesh. To attain this purpose, the study has randomly selected 50 percent of the commercial banks out of 30 DSE listed commercial banks in Bangladesh. The study has found that banking corporations are engaged in SCE, though their performances on that are increasing in absolute terms (over the year), not in relative terms (over general investment). Moreover, financial performance remains constant for banks that are engaged exceptionally in SCE. Hence, the findings somewhat support the CSV notion to explain the current practices of SCE. Keywords: Entrepreneurship, Sustainable entrepreneurship, Sustainable corporate entrepreneurship, Corporate social responsibility, Creating shared value, Shared value

To better understand the systems comprising corporate shared value chains would be beneficial to economics, society, and sustainability. This study refers to the ecosystem as the theoretical lens in the exploration of the CSV components and contexts, and takes Macy’s as a focal case. In terms of academic contributions, this study generalizes the CSV components, including markets, social innovations, social performances, new business models, corporate entrepreneurship, and social network support. The research findings contribute to conceptualize and systemize the concept of CSV. In terms of practical contributions, the contexts for the operation of CSV, as summarized by this study, can serve as a template for corporate planning of CSV activities and sustainable development.

This article describes how recently, there has been a shift in corporate social responsibility (CSR) to creating shared value (CSV), filling the gap between the strategies underlying competitive advantage and sustainability. Although the principles of CSR and CSV have been broadly studied and investigated, there is still little academic research focusing on the transitions regarding on economic, social, and environmental sustainability. In this article, literature and a case study were reviewed and analyzed to identify differences and contributing factors towards sustainability, based on value co-creation and collaboration approaches. The authors' findings present that the CSV emphasizing on co-created value with the cross-sector collaboration leads to the sustainability. Working together with local people or social organizations enables deep understanding of local context and understand the real social and environmental issues. The study contributes to sustainability and business literature by investigating insights into the sustainability of CSR and CSV, and strengthening the importance of social involvement.

The paper examines CSR disclosures by commercial banks operating in Mauritius. Annual reports for the year 2011 were scrutinized using content analysis. Five categories of disclosure were chosen in line with the Code of corporate governance and prior studies. Due to the small number (20) of banks operating in the country all banks were selected. Findings show that banks with higher visibility disclose more CSR information thus confirming that the legitimacy theory is an explanation for CSR disclosure by Mauritian banks. CSR reporting is prevalent among all banks but forty percent of banks disclose CSR information relating to one category only showing a narrow view of CSR. The primary area of disclosure is ‘Human resources’ which is at odds with previous studies. The paper contributes to the scarce literature on CSR disclosures by banks in a developing country.

Along with the changing time, CSR activities carried out by companies currently have been able not only to improve the welfare of the community but also to create shared value. In this concept, companies must be aware that creating shared value (CSV) is able to produce benefits to be shared and is more than just focusing on social responsibility. Companies should not only take corrective actions, but also reorganize the business strategies they use starting from the stages of planning and production to the stage of distribution to the end consumer, while still considering the factors of the company (economy), human and environment, or often referred to as the triple bottom line (profit, people, planet). This study aims to observe the development and disclosure of CSV in companies by using sustainability reports based on the system in yoga. Judging from the type of data, the approach used in this study is a qualitative descriptive approach. The research data used is the Sustainability Reports of Coca-Cola Company, Ltd., Nestle, and PT. Unilever Indonesia, Tbk for 2018. The results of this study show that the three companies have implemented CSV activities which are expressed in 5 Yamas Yoga: Ahimsa/non-violence; Satya / truthfulness / non-falsehoods; Asteya / honesty, non-stealing; Brahmacharya / Self-control; and Aparigraha / non-possessiveness, non-greediness. not expecting, asking, or accepting inappropriate gifts from any person.
