This chapter focuses on strategic retailer-Non-Profit Organization (NPO) partnerships, based in North America and Europe, from a management perspective. It explores how and why these partnerships have had an impact on the retailer-consumer relationship, how they have shaped and influenced socially conscious shoppers, and how they have affected consumer trust as well as retail business practices and strategies, within the last decade. Retailer-NPO partnerships have emerged as a viable business strategy to support Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives now commonplace among most large retail organizations. Consumers have become empowered, with the help of new social media technologies, to efficiently communicate, influence, and persuade other consumers around the globe. Therefore, consumers increasingly expect retailers to have an ethical and social responsibility to their people, products, operations, and communities. CSR practices have become integral to retailer sustainability and managing complex retailer-consumer relationships. This chapter reviews relevant theoretical frameworks, discusses the latest research findings from literature sources, and examines the industry practices (case studies) of several retailer-NPO partnerships across North America and Europe.

The Impact

Corporate social Responsibility has become a buzz word in recent times. Its worldwide acceptance due to the social consciousness of enterprises coupled with legal orientation in developing countries like India has made it one of the most researched issue for researchers across continents. This paper is an attempt to review the development in the core concepts and theories which have been put forwarded by different researchers during the time period of 2010-2018. The paper undergoes a time series analysis for the selected period evaluating the evolution and impact assessment of CSR on core managerial concepts like marketing, finance and Human Resource management. The researchers after time series analysis have concluded that CSR is age long practice which has changed its orientation with the changes in objectives of business. It can be easily classified in three conceptual eras on the basis of its objectives. In the initial era it was a self-driven practice mainly influenced by the values of promoters of business. In the later stages it can be related with a business strategy of gaining goodwill. In the present era corporates have understood the value of societal obligation and it has again become a self-driven exercise. Further the impact of CSR has coupled with almost all functions of management which can be easily understood from the host of studies conducted during the selected period. The selected studies indicate that CSR has been instrumental in increasing net worth, customer satisfaction and employee retention.

El concepto de Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) refleja hoy en día el resurgimiento de valores en la sociedad, además manifiesta la necesidad que tienen las empresas de involucrarse en la sociedad civil a través de sus iniciativas, no tan sólo como generadoras de proyectos aislados que las conecten con su entorno, sino integrándolas como parte de su estrategia empresarial. En este ensayo se presenta la herramienta Balance Social (BS), un tema que tiene sus orígenes en la RSE, modelo adoptado en Chile en el año 1975, desde la primera experiencia registrada en la Asociación Chilena de Seguridad (ACHS). La herramienta toma en cuenta los aspectos sociales que contempla una entidad hacia adentro, los denominados agentes internos, es decir los trabajadores en sus distintos niveles de la organización. Se darán a conocer modelos de Balance Social, por medio de análisis de su diseño e influencia a tomar en consideración y el tipo de empresa en que se aplique. El aporte de este ensayo, es dejar manifiesto que el Balance Social transformaría los tradicionales indicadores sociales que presentan algunas entidades en insumos reales, y a su vez serviría como una herramienta práctica para representar la RSE de una empresa. AbstractThe concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) today reflects the resurgence of values in society, also expressed the need for companies to engage in civil society through initiatives, not just as isolated projects that generate connection them to their environment but integrating them as part of their business strategy. In this test the Social Balance (BS) tool, an issue that has its origins in the CSR model adopted in Chile in 1975, since the first recorded experience in the Chilean Safety Association (ACHS) presented. The tool takes into account the social aspects covered entity inward-called insiders, i.e., workers at different levels of the organization. They will be released models of Social Balance, through design analysis and influence to consider and type of business in which it applied. The contribution of this paper is to leave clear that the Social Balance transforms traditional social indicators that have some real input entities, and in turn serve as a practical tool to represent a company CSR.

Specific Interests

Recently, scholars and managers have devoted greater attention to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its strategic implications. With more awareness surrounding the topic it would be expected for there to be a consensus on a definition, but as of yet none has been reached. The lack of a universally accepted definition has led some to define it as a term, a concept, a process, a theory, while others simply call it an activity or set of activities (Hazlett & Murray, 2007). CSR has been also captioned under many names. Terms such as corporate citizenship, global citizenship, corporate social responsiveness, strategic philanthropy, and even spiritual capitalism are sometimes used interchangeably, depending on the organization to use it. Often, these numerous monikers and interpretations lead to confusion amongst those intending to study or implement the practice into their business strategy. This uncertainty on how CSR should be defined has led some academics and practitioners to believe that the concept is void of any definition. Contrary to this belief, others find that there is an overabundance of definitions; many of which are “often biased toward specific interests and thus prevent the development and implementation of the concept” (Dahlsrud, 2008). Our study focuses on the importance of CSR and why it’s becoming so prevalent in any organizations. By studying the history of CSR, its many definitions, as well as its implementation methods, we attempt to suggest strategic alternatives for an effective corporate social responsibility.

Corporate Social

Studies and writings on corporate social responsibility turned a full cycle with much ink spilled on this topic. From the inception of a divine origin, corporate social responsibility has now become a flamboyant display of numbers and statistics which corporations proudly present them to fulfil their legal obligations. It is ironic that a divine understanding of corporate social responsibility has now transpired to be a complex calculus of statistical tabulations, too often exhibited in annual and sustainability reports. Organisations become grossly mesmerised with the grandiosity of exceeding the prerequisites of ecological, environmental, social and economic performance supported by undisputable, verifiable and measurable data. Corporate social responsibility has become senseless and meaningless. This is not a research paper nor does it entail the rudiments of any research findings. Conversely, this paper alerts and perhaps cautions corporate social responsibility practitioners on the perils of their overarching emphasis on positivism. Corporate social responsibility cannot be quantified merely in numbers but on the contrary, it should involve truthful, honest and transparent dialectic communication with the stakeholders. Many corporations deceived and some still facing the remnants of their mistakes. The Volkswagen ‘diesel dupe’ crisis and Johnson & Johnson’s baby talc powder scandals are reminders of the same. This paper is a solemn reminder that corporations must be ‘awakened’ so that ethics is grounded to its core and not merely in the cosmetic forms of presentable statistics.
