CSR as creation of new institution
Corporate Social Responsibility: internal and
external aspects
Ethical issues
Corporate Social Responsibility as an
Institutional Innovation
o Institutional economics had, for a long time, focused on the analysis of a stable
institutional framework, and on the actors adaptation to this framework.
o It presented economic actors as embedded in the institutional network, who
consider this framework as given.
o In the past few decades, however, started to shift the focus of institutional
analysis and look at the other side of the coin.
o They emphasize how actors influence institutions and that they may create new
institutions.
o Corporate Social Responsibility is a typical case of institutional innovation
Like the technological innovations, the institutional
innovations can also be radical, and
their initiators, the so called „institutional entrepreneurs”
 „targets entire fields, the overall networks,
cultural-cognitive systems, organizational
archetypes, and collective action
repertoires…” Bockhaven et al, 2015, 175)
“create a whole new system of meaning that
ties the functioning of disparate sets of
institutions together.” – (Garud et al,
2002,196.)
 See also DiMaggio &Powell (1983) and the
book of Scott (2008).
 The Corporate Social
Responsibility is an excellent
example for radical institutional
innovations

The Corparate responsibility and the ICT
revolution
 In the recent era we are witnessing
genuine institutional explosions
 New institutions come into
existence day by day, especially as a
result of ICT revolution
 “We theorize that these moments
of transition, from one historical
period to the next, are times when
institutional stability and
isomorphism may be somewhat
weakened and institutional
innovations may play a greater
role.” (Raffaely & Glynn, 2015, 411.)
 The ITC Revolution has also a major role in developing
of Corporate Social Responsibility.
 In the industrial era the reputation of the firms has
changed relatively slowly, the customers being isolated
from each others, and they had not a real influence of
the corporate behavior in the short run
 But the Web brought fundamental changes in this
regard.
 The evalulation of customers is penetrating the net in
some days or maybe some minutes, and the companies
have to take into consideration of the public opppinion
already in short run
 So the innovation of corporate responsiblity was not by
chanche in paralell with diffusion of ICT in all sphere of
life
Business ethics –
the societal expectations of organisations
 Macro level
Range from laissez faire to shapers of society
Ethical stance of organisation in society
Extent an organisation exceeds its minimum obligations to
stakeholders and society
 Corporate social responsibility
Specific ways to exceed minimum obligations imposed by
legislation/corporate governance
Reconcile conflicting demands of stakeholders
 Individual level
Behaviour and actions of individuals within organisations
Corporate social responsibility
 Corporate social responsibility (CSR, also called
corporate conscience, corporate citizenship, social
performance, or sustainable responsible business/
Responsible Business) is a form of corporate self-
regulation integrated into a business model
 CSR policy functions as a built-in, self-regulating
mechanism whereby a business monitors and ensures its
active compliance with the spirit of the law, ethical
standards, and international norms
 The goal of CSR is to embrace responsibility for the
company's actions and encourage a positive impact through
its activities on the environment, consumers, employees,
communities, stakeholders and all other members of the
public sphere who may also be considered as stakeholders.

behavoiur is really everyone’s best

ever find out what you have done.

organization will protect you.
 Moral hazards can be present any
time two parties come into
agreement with one another.
Each party in a contract may have
the opportunity to gain from
acting contrary to the principles
laid out by the agreement.

term related to the subversion of
morality to profit.
Critical approach to organizational culture

o Power, Hegemony, and Concertive Control

o Hegemony - the predominant influence over others
o Concertive Control - based on adherence to socially constructed norms and
values developed by organizational members as they attempt to structure the
environment
o Communication and Critical Theory

of people from domination (the ideal speech situation)
o The utterances are truthful
o There is a legitimate relationship established between the participants
o The utterances are sincere
o The utterances are comprehensible
