by Richard Peters, Xenophon Koufteros, Shawn Berman
International Journal of Management and Enterprise Development (IJMED), Vol. 6, No. 1, 2009

Abstract: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has evolved from mere social philanthropy to its present conceptualisation as a distinct organisational strategy. This study treats CSR as a strategic decision, and focuses on the sense-making process of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with respect to pro-CSR intent. We consider collectively multiple structural determinants including personal values, stakeholder culture and environmental munificence and relate them to an intention by the CEO to act in a socially responsible manner.
