社会责任与企业价值创造研究:回顾与展望

社会责任的经济后果,即企业承担社会责任对其经济绩效和价值创造的影响,是理论界和企业界都十分关注的问题.目前学者对该问题的研究主要包括三个方面:社会责任对企业价值的影响方向、社会责任对企业价值的影响机理以及社会责任对企业价值影响的差异化.本文在对研究现状进行综述的基础上,分析了现有研究中存在的问题与不足,认为今后的研究要从企业微观管理的层面探索社会责任价值创造的本质特征,研究社会责任活动的决策评价方法,以提高企业社会责任资源配置效率.

组织心理学视角下以员工为中心的企业社会责任研究进展

从产业组织心理学和组织行为学的视角,对近年来西方学者从微观层面研究(基于组织层面以员工为中心研究企业社会责任)企业社会责任的文献进行了综述,围绕企业社会责任的构念、理论基础和实证研究的成果进行了系统梳理,整理了未来基于微观层面的企业社会责任研究的架构与建议,对微观企业社会责任理论与组织理论的融合发展提供了新的研究方向。     

企业社会责任管理体系:认同与行为

如何将社会责任嵌入于组织层面完善管理实践已成为当代企业社会责任研究的焦点。本文基于管理观点动态地和整合地审视了企业社会责任问题,对社会责任如何融入到管理实践中进行探讨,构建了企业的社会责任体系与其战略适应模式的共同演化模型,并从战略价值创造、战略类型选择、战略导向转变以及战略过程等多个方面提出了企业社会责任的战略管理对策及相关建议。这对于企业社会责任的管理研究是一个极为有益的延伸和拓展。     

企业社会责任与企业绩效的关系——考虑组织学习与客户感知的中介作用

利用对浙江民营企业进行问卷调查的数据,研究了企业社会责任对企业绩效的影响以及组织学习和客户感知在其中的中介作用。结果表明:企业社会责任对企业绩效有正向影响;组织学习和客户感知均在企业社会责任对企业绩效的正向影响中起完全中介作用。     

企业社会责任透明度、法律环境与企业价值——来自中国上市公司的经验证据

依据信息经济学,探究企业社会责任透明度对企业价值的影响机制,法律环境在企业社会责任透明度与企业价值间的调节机制。以2012—2016年的A股上市公司为样本,研究结果表明,企业社会责任透明度对企业价值有显著正向影响。其次,弱法律环境正向调节企业社会责任透明度对企业价值的影响,强法律环境负向调节企业社会责任透明度对企业价值的影响。最后,研究还发现企业异质性影响企业社会责任透明度对公司价值的影响。     

企业社会责任与企业价值的关系研究述评

根据实践的需要和理论研究的演进过程,本文在简略介绍企业社会责任和企业价值的概念、内涵后,通过检索2000年～2009年这lO年间发表在国际管理学刊物上的有关论文,概括了企业社会责任(Corpomte Social Responsibili-ty,CSR)与企业价值间关系的研究现状,并依据主题对这些论文进行归类和分析,探讨企业社会责任与企业各价值维度间的关系,梳理出企业承担社会责任的行为对企业价值的影响途径和作用机理,总结一些有利于企业发展和成长的经验,以期为中国企业摆脱社会责任困境、在企业发展过程中更好地承担社会责任提供理论依据.     

公司治理、媒体关注与企业社会责任

本文从公司治理与媒体关注两个角度实证研究了两者对企业社会责任的影响,研究发现:公司治理越好,企业社会责任水平越高,这种显著的正相关关系主要体现在非国有企业中,在国有企业中并不显著;媒体关注度越高,企业社会责任水平越高,这种显著的正相关关系主要存在于非敏感性行业中,在社会责任敏感性行业中并不显著;公司治理和媒体关注对企业社会责任水平的影响存在替代效应。     

“企业社会责任缺失”的生成机制及治理研究——资源基础与背景依赖的视角

国内外对"企业社会责任"的研究很多,但对与之相对立的概念"企业社会责任缺失"的研究却很少,且所有研究只关注个体、组织或环境等单一层面因素对企业社会责任缺失的影响。文章采用规范研究的方法,以道德决策理论、资源基础理论和背景依赖理论为基础,结合中国企业社会责任的实际,从个人、组织、制度环境三个层面探讨了企业社会责任缺失的生成机制。研究表明,企业社会责任缺失不等同于公司经理的道德缺失,而主要根源于组织层面的因素如资源能力的制约、组织文化的障碍、以利润为中心的公司治理结构,以及制度层面的因素如不公正的市场竞争机制、社会控制的失败、政府监管的缺位等。并据此提出了相应的对策与建议。     

The influence of CSR on firm value: an application of panel smooth transition regression on Taiwan

Previous studies on the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and firm value generally belong to one of the two opposing schools of thought: the social impact hypothesis and the shift of focus hypothesis. This study, however, proposes that the relationship between CSR and company value is non-linear and neither wholly positive nor negative. We employed the corporate social responsibility index (CRSI) to test this hypothesis. The panel smooth transition regression (PSTR) model was used to analyse listed Taiwanese firms from 2010 to 2012 and calculate the value transition threshold of CSR, using CSRI as the transition variable. We then applied PSTR to determine whether CSRI shows a two-regime, non-linear relationship, as inferred by our model. Empirical findings show that the threshold value of CSRI is 13.082, thus, we concluded that investment in CSR does not contribute to enhancing company value until it exceeds the value transition threshold.     

Corporate social responsibility,vertical product differentiation and international competition

Would a foreign firm’s consumer‐oriented corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities be rewarded by an importing country’s voluntary tariff reduction? The current paper addresses this question in an import‐competing duopoly model with vertical product differentiation. It is shown that the tariff will decrease if the foreign firm switches from a purely profit‐driven firm to a CSR firm. A consumer‐oriented CSR strategy will always hurt the domestic firm’s profit, whereas the relationship between the foreign firm’s profit and CSR sensitivity (the degree to which a firm cares about consumer welfare) is invertedly U‐shaped. When firms’ decisions to switch to CSR are endogeneized, only the foreign firm will become a CSR firm.     

Does it really pay to do better? Exploring the financial effects of changes in CSR ratings

Previous literature on the link between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and financial performance has focused mainly on the financial implications of a firm’s level of CSR without considering the potential effects on financial performance of variations in CSR rating. We try to fill this gap by studying whether variations in a firm’s CSR rating affect systematic risk, firm value, and portfolio performance. First, our results show that an increase in firms’ CSR efforts, as reflected by an increase in their CSR ratings, significantly reduces systematic risk. Second, a positive variation in CSR ratings significantly improves firm value. Finally, from a portfolio perspective, a strategy that consists of buying stocks that have experienced a CSR ratings increase and selling stocks that have experienced a CSR ratings decrease (or remain stable) leads to lower financial performance. Taken together, our findings provide new evidence and financial implications for firms and portfolio managers.     

Corporate Social Responsibility Spillover and Competition Effects on the Food Industry

This paper examines the spillover and competition effects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) with duopoly competition. In employing the assumption that firm CSR increases consumer willingness to pay for the firm's products while consumer willingness to pay decreases for non‐CSR firm products, some interesting conclusions are achieved. First, CSR spillover effects increase CSR firm outputs and prices, while CSR spillover has the opposite effect on competitors. Second, CSR spillover decreases total outputs and total social welfare levels. Third, competition effects increase CSR expenditures, and CSR firms' CSR policies are the most robust when non‐CSR firms assume a leading position. It is found that total outputs and consumer utilities are highest when CSR firm acts as leader, while the relationships of social welfare among different cases are ambiguous depending on product substitution and spillover effects.     

The effect of firm maturity on corporate social responsibility (CSR): do older firms invest more in CSR?

Motivated by the literature on corporate life cycles, we explore the effect of firm maturity on corporate social responsibility (CSR). Our results based on over 26 000 observations across 21 years reveal that more mature firms invest significantly more in CSR. Furthermore, we find that the effect of firm maturity is not uniform across different categories of CSR. As firms get older, they become much more responsible in terms of diversity and environmental awareness, whereas the effect of firm ageing is much weaker in terms of human rights and product safety. Our study is the first to link corporate life cycles to CSR.     

Assessing whether corporate social responsibility influence corporate value

This study used the corporate social responsibility (CSR) index to gauge the corporate value and social responsibility performance of corporations in Taiwan. We investigated whether CSR influences corporate value and whether the extent of that influence varies with corporate value or time. The results indicate that the influence of CSR on corporate value does not change with time. CSR exerts a positive influence on company value, and this influence does not change over time. However, the extent of the influence significantly varies with corporate value. When the corporate value of a company is not high, investing in CSR would only increase costs and fail to effectively increase corporate value. In contrast, if the corporate value of the company is high, investments in CSR in this circumstance would instead promote the effective increase of corporate value.     

The socially responsible choice in a duopolistic market: A dynamic model of “ethical product” differentiation

The increasing attention of profit maximizing corporations to corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a new stylized fact of the contemporary economic environment. In our theoretical analysis we model CSR adoption as the optimal response of a profit maximizing firm to the competition of a not for profit corporate pioneer in the presence of a continuum of consumers with heterogeneous preferences towards the social and environmental features of the final good. CSR adoption implies a trade-off since, on the one side, it raises production costs but, on the other side, it leads to accumulation of “ethical capital”. We investigate conditions under which the profit maximizing firm switches from price to price and CSR competition by comparing monopoly and duopoly equilibria and their consequences on aggregate social responsibility and consumer welfare. Our findings provide a theoretical background for competition between profit maximizing incumbents and not for profit entrants in markets such as fair trade, organic food, ethical banking and ethical finance.     

企业社会责任与创新：一项Meta分析的检验

采用Meta分析方法,基于172篇中英文实证文献,研究了企业社会责任对创新的作用机理,并深入探讨了潜在调节变量对二者间关系的作用效果。研究表明：企业社会责任对创新存在显著的正向影响,二者关系受到文化背景、企业规模、主客观测量方式和创新投入产出测量方式的调节。具体而言,相比东方文化,西方文化背景下企业社会责任对创新的影响更为显著;中小型企业社会责任与创新的相关性比大型企业更强;相较于客观测量方式,主观测量方式下企业履行社会责任更有利于创新;企业社会责任对创新产出的正向影响比创新投入更大。     

Corporate social responsibility and strategic relationships

We analyze a delegation game relevant to the conduct of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in which the firm’s owner offers the manager a contract consisting of firm profit and social welfare. We derive three results that distinctly differ from existing findings. First, CSR decisions are strategic complements for firms. Second, with simultaneous CSR decisions, the equilibrium price is equal to marginal cost, despite the fact that firms compete in a Cournot duopoly. Finally, with sequential CSR decisions, unlike the follower firm, the leader firm never exhibits CSR. However, the follower firm can enjoy a profit equal to that derived by the leader in a Cournot–Stackelberg game.
