본 논문은 해외시장에 진출한 현지자회사의 사회적 책임활동에 국가간 거리(distance)가 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 분석하고자 하였다. 국가간 거리는 Ghemawat(2001)의 CAGE (culture, administrative, geographic, economic) 개념을 적용하였다. 19개국 해외시장에 진출한 177개 한국기업의 자회사를 대상으로 한 분석 결과, 첫째 문화적 거리감은 자회사의 사회적 책임활동에 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 전략적 CSR에 유의한 영향을 주었다. 둘째, 관리적 거리는 자회사 사회적 책임활동에 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 셋째, 지리적 거리감은 사회적 책임활동에 유의한 정(+)의 효과를 주었다. 넷째, 경제적 거리감은 자회사 사회적 책임활동과 부(-)의 관계를 갖으며 특히 반응적 CSR 활동에 영향을 주었다. 또한 해외진입동기가 시장개척지향일수록 문화적 거리가 사회적 책임활동에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 입증되었다. 이러한 결과는 국가간 거리가 사회적 책임활동에 부(-)의 영향을 미친다는 일부 선행연구와는 상이한 결과로 이는 진출국가 및 표본의 특징에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 결론적으로 해외진출 자회사는 현지에서의 외국인비용 등으로 인한 위험을 극복하고 정당성을 확보하기 위해 사회적 책임활동을 전략적인 수단으로 활용하는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 본 연구는 한국기업의 자회사를 대상으로 국제경영의 주요주제인 국가간 거리가 해외자회사의 사회적 책임활동에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 규명했다는 점에 의의가 있다.

Purpose: In modern corporate management, the establishment of a crisis management system that minimizes damage through measures used to respond to corporate crises is no longer an option. The importance of corporate reputation and brand asset management in modern enterprise management cannot be overemphasized and negative events that might arise from a number of different causes can cause brand crises. Research design, data and methodology: More than half of the questionnaire respondents were female (252 or 53%). More than a fourth of the respondents were aged 20 (122 or 26%) and the number of married participants was 196 (41%). Of the participants, 32% (153) had graduated from college. Only 18% (87) were employees and the monthly household income was 121. In this study, we conducted factor analysis in order to extract the variables that may enhance the explanation capability of each variable. For the method of factor extraction, an Eigen value of at least 1 was used as was factor loading. An analysis was performed using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient to verify the reliability of the measurement scale. Results: First, the analysis of the impact of the social responsibility activities on brand image revealed that the social, economic, philanthropic, ethical, and environmental responsibility activities significantly affected brand image, but legal responsibility activities were not statistically significant. Second, the analysis of the impact of brand image on loyalty showed that brand image had a significant impact on loyalty. Third, the analysis of the impact of social responsibility activities on loyalty showed that they had a significant impact on loyalty. Conclusions: The pro-social enterprise image is not only a brand asset that can be shared, but also a heavy proposition followed by a corresponding social responsibility, it will have to practice transparent corporate management based on clear principles through the establishment of various systems and the implementation of a strict code of conduct within the enterprise.

The researches on corporate social responsibility(CSR) focused mostly on its effects on financial performance or consumer's behavior. However relatively few studies have dealt with employee's attitude towards CSR. The purpose of this study is to analyze determinants of hospital employee's attitude towards CSR. The data were collected from 163 employees at a general hospital in Gyeonggi-do from June 18 to July 18 in 2012. For the statistical analysis of data, t-test, ANOVA, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis were implemented. The result of hierarchical multiple regression analysis shows that first, perceived management support and direct benefits were positively related to the attitude towards the acceptance of CSR while interruption of work was negatively related. Second, as interruption of work was controlled, the statistically significant relationship between clinical department and attitude towards the acceptance of CSR was disappeared. In order to accommodate CSR in hospitals, first, the enterprise-wide support is more effective rather than expecting the action of each employee. Second, hospitals should provide the education about CSR to let employees expect direct benefits such as improving of their moral sense. Third, the burden of work causing interruption needs to be managed to cause employees to accept CSR.

Past studies on the influence of corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities on firms have been inconsistent, highlighting the significance of examining how CSR affects the performance of Malaysian government-linked companies (GLCs). The study aims to investigate the impact of CSR dimensions (economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic) on firm performance from 2016 to 2020 using a sample of 31 GLCs from the top 100 companies under the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia. A total of 35 GLCs were selected as the study sample size based on the top 100 businesses listed under the board of Bursa Malaysia as of 31 December 2020. The study employed correlation and multiple linear regression models to examine the relationship between CSR dimensions and firm performance. Financial performance is evaluated using accounting-based models of return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) and market-based models of earnings per share (EPS) and market value (MV). The CSRHub database was employed to collect information on the performance of company CSR dimensions. The findings suggested a significant positive relationship between ethical and philanthropic CSR and firm performance regarding ROE. Thus, GLCs prioritized ethical and philanthropic CSR over other dimensions.

최근 기업의 사회적 책임 활동에 관한 소비자의 관심은 꾸준히 증가하고 있으며, 이러한 소비자 차원에서의 CSR 이행 여부는 기업의 제품 혹은 서비스에 대한 전반적인 이미지로 평가된다. 뿐만 아니라 이는 기업의 매출액에 직·간접적으로 영향을 미치기도 한다. 이와 더불어 기술력의 부재 등으로 인해 기업의 경쟁력 제고는 점차적으로 힘들어지고 있으며, 소비자들의 구매력 및 만족도 제고를 위한 CSR 수행 등과 같은 기업의 명성에 더욱 의존하는 구조로써 변화되고 있다. 이에 기업들은 여러 자선사업이나 기부활동, 각종 프로그램 지원, 환경 친화적 제품 개발 등과 같은 CSR 수행에 많은 비용을 지출하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 프랜차이즈 업계의 CSR을 통한 소비자의 기업 평판 및 인식 제고, 프랜차이즈 기업이 추구하는 자원(상품 및 서비스) 활용도를 높이고 효과적인 프랜차이즈 업계의 CSR 프로그램 구축방안 마련을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 기존 연구 및 국내외 CSR 사례를 통해 수준별 단계 모델을 제시하고, 국내 프랜차이즈 업계가 추구해야 할 CSR의 전반적인 방향성을 제시하였다. 기존연구 고찰 및 국내외 기업들의 CSR 현황 검토를 통한 본 연구 결과, CSR의 단계적 수준은 총 네 가지 형태로 제시되었다. 그러나 사례 검토를 통해 국내 프랜차이즈 기업의 CSR 수준은 1, 2단계의 수준으로 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다.

Purpose - It seems common sense that corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a key driver of business sustainability. Nevertheless, there has been little research on the performance of socially responsible activities, including economic and environmentally responsibility activities, in internationally diversified firms. Design/methodology - The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of CSR activities on management performance. For this evaluation, an empirical analysis was conducted with total of 2,520 cases, selected from companies listed on the Korea Composite Stock Price Index market for six years from 2013 to 2018. As proxies for management performance, financial data such as a total asset net profit ratio and a total asset operating ratio were used. A multivariate regression analysis was conducted to test hypotheses. Findings - The results of this analysis indicated that firms in the CSR outstanding group were ranked significantly higher than other groups in management performance. In addition, CSR activities of internationally diversified firms positively influenced the total asset net profit ratio and total asset operating ratio. Originality/value - The results suggest that the CSR activities of these firms can play a significant role in enhancing management performance in the economic status of Korea, where the degree of export dependency is high.

It seems a common sense that corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a key driver to attain business sustainability. Nevertheless, there has been little research on the performance of socially responsible activities, including economic and environmental responsibility activities in internationally diversified firms. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of CSR activities on management performance. For this evaluation, an empirical analysis was conducted with a total of 2,520 cases, selected from companies listed on the Korea Composite Stock Price Index market for six years from 2013 to 2018. As proxies for management performance, financial date such as a total asset net profit ratio and a total asset-operating ratio were used. A multivariate regression analysis was conducted to test hypotheses. The results of this analysis indicated that firms in the CSR outstanding group are significantly higher than other groups in management performances. In addition, CSR activities of internationally diversified firms positively influence their total asset net profit ratio and total asset-operating ratio. The results suggested that CSR activities of these firms can play a significant role in enhancing management performances amid the economic status of Korea, where a degree of export dependency is high.

This study looks at 'Corporate Social Responsibility' which is required for the fashion industry and brands in modern times. The American fashion brand known for its corporate social responsibility activities, 'Patagonia' is the case study for this research. The purpose of this study is to make suggestions to eco-friendly, outdoor and casual apparel fashion brands that want to introduce corporate social responsibility programs by considering the case of Patagonia's "Worn Wear" campaign. The method of this study was to review corporate social responsibility, previous studies on Patagonia, and literature, such as domestic and foreign media, Patagonia's official homepage, specialty publications, and media. The study concerning corporate social responsibility is focused on Patagonia's "Worn Wear". Worn Wear is Patagonia's system that repurchases and repairs products from Patagonia's own consumers. The study found that the well known corporate social responsibility led to increased sales. Patagonia's social responsibility activities are thought to be part of the brand identity that goes beyond marketing. In the Worn Ware case, repurchasing products from consumers and reselling them or reprocessing them resulted in increased sales, increased consumer engagement, and higher brand attention. The suggestion for a fashion company or brand in a category similar to Patagonia that is looking to engage in corporate social responsibilbty is to adopt and continue a campaign that 'consists of a successful marketing image, connecting memories and new experiences, separated shopping channels while diversifying the creation of distribution and contact channels'.

This study investigated the effects that corporate social responsibility (CSR) had on the credibility and image of a food corporation by analyzing the purchasing intention and food purchases of consumers. This analysis was undertaken in an attempt to establish a marketing strategy that meets consumer demands, and the results showed that all CSR activities undertaken by the food corporation had a positive effect on the reliability and image of the corporation and on consumers' purchase intention. The results indicate that the ethical aspect of the CSR activities had the greatest effect while their charitable aspect had the least effect on the reliability and purchase intention of the customers regarding the food corporation. Thus, it appears that establishing of suitable ethical doctrines and guidelines for corporate management by food corporation is effective in emphasizing the ethical aspects of their policies through transparent management by means of fair trade.
