• [Investigating Stakeholder Theory and Social Capital: CSR in Large Firms and SMEs] The concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been widely investigated, but a generally accepted theoretical framework does not yet exist. This paper argues that the idiosyncrasies of large firms and SMEs explains the different approaches to CSR, and that the notion of social capital is a more useful way of understanding the CSR approach of SMEs, whereas stakeholder theory more closely addresses the CSR approach of large firms. A twofold consideration emerges. First, the CSR–SME relationship could be better explained if the notion of social capital is taken into account, but this should also be accompanied by a stakeholder view of the SME; second, social capital and stakeholder theory should be taken as alternative ways of explaining CSR in both large firms and SMEs. artigos social_capital capital_social socialcapital stakeholder orgtheory organization organizational_theory

• [Entrepreneurial Orientation and the Performance of Religious Congregations as Predicted by Rational Choice Theory. John A. Pearce II. 2009; Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice - Wiley InterScience] Empirical and anecdotal evidence suggests that businesses that act with an entrepreneurial orientation enjoy superior performance. Our research investigates whether nonprofit, religious congregations can benefit from similar initiatives. We based our hypotheses on the Rational Choice Theory of Religion, which was developed by social scientists to bring economic analysis to the understanding of the effects of competition among nonprofit organizations. Using a sample of 250 religious congregations in five different geographical markets, an entrepreneurial orientation is found to be positively associated with organizational performance. A hypothesized interaction effect between environmental munificence and entrepreneurial orientation is assessed. religiao religion economia-religiao entrepreneurship igreja-empresa
• [The Business Case for Corporate Social Responsibility: A Review of Concepts, Research and Practice. Archie B. Carroll. 2010; International Journal of Management Reviews - Wiley InterScience] Artigo de Archie B. Carroll. In this review, the primary subject is the 'business case' for corporate social responsibility (CSR). The business case refers to the underlying arguments or rationales supporting or documenting why the business community should accept and advance the CSR 'cause'. The business case is concerned with the primary question: What do the business community and organizations get out of CSR? That is, how do they benefit tangibly from engaging in CSR policies, activities and practices? The business case refers to the bottom-line financial and other reasons for businesses pursuing CSR strategies and policies. In developing this business case, the paper first provides some historical background and perspective. The goal is to describe and summarize what the business case means and to review some of the concepts, research and practice that have come to characterize this developing idea. artigos orgtheory organization organizational_theory estudos_organizacionais respsocial_microcredito

This paper reviews the literature on corporate social performance (CSP) measurement and sets that literature into a theoretical context. Following a review of CSP theory development and the literature on relationships between CSP and corporate financial performance, Wood's CSP model (Wood, D.J. (1991). Corporate social performance revisited. Academy of Management Review, 16, pp. 691–718) is used as an organizing device to present and discuss studies that use particular measures of CSP. Conclusions emphasize the need for CSP scholars to refocus on stakeholders and society, and to incorporate relevant literatures from other scholarly domains. artigos orgtheory organization organizational_theory estudos_organizacionais respsocial_microcredito
