Paul C. Godfrey, Nile A. Hatch, Jared M. Hansen Corporate Social Responsibility: Theory and Evidence
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a tortured concept. In this paper, we reframe CSR into a number of discrete Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR’s), each of which can have a positive or negative social impact, and each of which has an endogenous managerially driven component, and an exogenous stakeholder driven component. Using an industry-level sample drawn from the KLD data base, we test the impact of hypothesized drivers of CSR on various CSR’s.

Stephen Brammer, Lance Moir Why Do Companies Make Philanthropic Donations?
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
This paper analyses the areas of philanthropic expenditure prioritized by a sample of 164 large UK companies within a model that draws on economics and stakeholder theory. Broadly, our evidence suggests that firms make systematic choices over the alternative destinations of their philanthropic donations in ways that are rationalisable by reference to the particular strategic benefits that are associated with their business environments. Specifically, we identify statistically significant preferences for medical research among hitechnology companies, environmental causes among firms active in environmentally damaging industries, and educational charities among labour intensive companies. This provides significant support for studies that suggest that philanthropy is increasingly viewedstrategically by companies.

Paul Cox, Stephen Brammer, Andrew Millington Long-Term Institutional Investment and Corporate Social Performance: An Empirical Analysis
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
This study examines the link between the extent of long-term institutional ownership in corporate stock and firm social performance. The empirical analysis highlights the heterogeneity of long-term investors and distinguishes between funds that are internally and externally managed, between private and public sector funds and between types of funds that face different institutional pressures.

Maretno A. Harjoto, Hoje Jo Do Thinkers Lead Doers?: The Causal Relation between CSR and Reputation of Analysts and Brokerage Houses
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
This study examines whether reputable analysts and brokerage houses as thinker-driven middlemen led corporations (doers) to engage in CSR by investigating the causal relation between CSR and analysts and brokerage houses’ reputations. While theory of information asymmetry predicts that corporations with higher level of CSR tend to attract more reputable analysts and brokerage houses such that they can disseminate valuable information to outside investors, the social pressure theory expects corporations, which receive coverage from more reputable analysts and brokerage houses, tend to have higher CSR. Our findings suggest that CSR activities per se do not attract experienced analysts and reputable brokerage houses. Instead, we find that corporations which are covered by more experienced analysts and reputable brokerage houses tend to increase their CSR activities, indirectly supporting the social pressure hypothesis based on thinker-led-doer model. In addition, we find that corporations tend to have higher CSR strengths, lower CSR concerns, and increased CSR components of diversity and product when they are covered by more reputable analysts and brokerage houses. We interpret these findings are supportive of the social pressure hypothesis, rather than the information asymmetry hypothesis.

abstract | view |  rights & permissions
This paper analyzes the choice of the form of organization within which UK companies manage their charitable donations. An econometric model of the choice of organizational form is estimated which emphasizes the role of stakeholder pressure, Firm characteristics and industry conditions. Stakeholder pressure is found to significantly affect the choice of location of control of charitable giving within the firm.

Omid Sabbaghi, Gerald F. Cavanagh, S.J., J. Timothy Hipskind, S.J. Is Frequent Service-Learning a Too-Much-of-a-Good-Thing Effect?
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
In this study, we investigate the impact of frequent service learning on the emotional, personal development, and leadership characteristics of business students at a Catholic university in the United States. We examine the aforementioned impact of frequent service learning through a novel panel data set provided by the University’s Institute for Leadership and Service, ranging from the years 2008 through 2015. Specifically, we conduct an empirical analysis across the emotional, personal development, and leadership dimensions, and examine the too-much-of-a-good-thing (TMGT) effect of Pierce and Aguinis (2013) in relation to service learning. Our results suggest that business students experience statistically significant increases in several emotional, personal development, and leadership dimensions as the number of service learning experiences increases. We provide mixed evidence of the TMGT effect when aggregating the emotion and personal development dimensions against the number of service-learning experiences via examination of cross-dimensional averages. Our study yields implications for the optimal number of service learning projects for business schools.

Stephen Brammer, Stephen Pavelin Voluntary Social Disclosure and Activism Among Institutional Investors
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
This paper examines the patterns in voluntary social and environmental disclosures made by a sample of over 300 large UK companies drawn from a diverse range of industrial sectors. The analysis distinguishes between two types of disclosure (social and environmental) and it examines how each type of decision is determined by firm and industry characteristics. We find significant associations between disclosure and company ownership, size, media visibility, profitability and industry. Furthermore, we find the effect of ownership structure to vary both between and within investor groups. The shareholdings of internally-managed pension funds are found to have a positive effect, and those of investment tnists and hedge funds are found to have a negative effect, on the propensity for a firm to disclose. Thus, investor activism to promote disclosure seems to follow from a focus upon a long-term time horizon and sufficient scope to broaden that focus beyond the financial performance of the firm, to social and environmental impacts.

Bryan W. Husted, José Salazar Pricing Social Externalities: The Case of Income Inequality
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
Using the Theil index to measure income inequality, we define a specific firm’s contribution to overall income inequality and propose a simple model to find theequilibrium price for a given target of income inequality reduction. We first establish income inequality reduction targets for a population of firms. We then model a marginal income inequality reduction cost curve and match demand and supply to derive the equilibrium price. Using a small sample of fifteen firms, we simulate a market for income inequality reduction and calculate the equilibrium price.

Stephen Brammer, Andrew Millington Media Exposure and Corporate Social Performance: An Empirical Analysis
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
We analyse the determinants of firm social performance within a sample of over 500 publicly listed UK corporations. Our analysis distinguishes between three dimensions of firm social performance (community performance, employee performance, and environmental performance) and emphasises the importance of industry stakeholder pressures and organizational news media visibility as stimuli for improved social performance. The findings indicate that corporate social performance characteristics vary systematically across industries and that news media visibility is a significant stimulus for all dimensions of firm social performance, suggesting that recent moves to “name and shame” corporations with poor social and environmental performance are likely to have had an important impact on the behaviour of companies. However, we find that news media visibility has a significantly stronger impact upon community and employee performance than it does on environmental performance.

Austin Heath Mathematical Infinity and the Presocratic Apeiron
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
The Presocratic notion of apeiron, often translated as “unbounded,” has been the subject of interest in classical philosophy. Despite apparent similarities between apeiron and infinity, classicists have typically been reluctant to equate the two, citing the mathematically precise nature of infinity. This paper aims to demonstrate that the properties that Anaximander, Zeno, and Anaxagoras attach to apeiron are not fundamentally different from the characteristics that constitute mathematical infinity. Because the sufficient explanatory mathematical tools had not yet been developed, however, their quantitative reasoning remains implicit. Consequentially, the relationship between infinity and apeiron is much closer than classical scholarship commonly suggests.

Marietta Peytcheva, Danielle E. Warren Auditor Professionalism: The Importance of Internalizing Professional Standards and Detection of Severely-Sanctioned Professional Violations
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
The effectiveness of professional sanctions against violations rests upon the severity of sanctions and detection of violations. Here we examine perceptions of professional violation detection in auditing where the professional standards may conflict with the interests of the auditor’s firm. Using a sample of future and experienced auditors, we test the relationship between professional violations and auditors’ perceptions of the likelihood that severely-sanctioned violations will be discovered (a) by the audit profession, and (b) by the auditor’s firm. In our study, an auditor’s belief that professional bodies are likely to detect professionalviolations relates positively to auditor professionalism. However, we find beliefs that the audit firm will detect severely-sanctioned professional violations negatively affect auditor professionalism. In our study, the lowest level of professionalism occurs when auditors believe that their own audit firm, but not the audit profession, will detect a professional violation. We also find that auditors’ internalization of professional standards relates positively to auditor professionalism. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

Samuel B. Graves, Sandra A. Waddock Institutional Owners and Corporate Social Performance
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
This study assesses the relationship between institutional ownership (ownership by pension funds, mutual funds, insurance companies, etc.) of large publicly-held firms and the corporate social performance (CSP) of the firm. We theorized that institutional ownership would be higher in firms with better CSP ratings. We constructed a new measure of CSP based on a commercial data base available from Kinder, Lydenberg and Domini Co., a group which rates companies across eight attributes of CSP. Our model controlled for firm profitability, size, debt level, and industry. The results, based on 429 large companies, show a significant and positive relationship between CSP and institutional ownership.

Wenling Lu, Benjamin Yeo Time-Varying Relations between Seven Dimensions of CSR and Firm Risk
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
This study examines the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR), a central ethical concern, and firm total risk, a central business concern, using a large US dataset spanning 1991 to 2015. It includes considerations for the recent financial crisis to establish whether firm engagement in specific CSR dimensions decrease (i.e., the risk reduction hypothesis) or increase (i.e., the resource constraint hypothesis) firm risk. The findings demonstrate the impact of CSR engagement is different, depending on the specific CSR dimension in question, and the relationship between each of the seven CSR dimensions and total risk is time varying. Our empirical evidence suggests that firms should prioritize different CSR dimensions as an integral part of their CSR strategies and strategic management and change the priority in different market conditions.

abstract | view |  rights & permissions
This paper investigates an under-researched relationship, that between corporate social performance (CSP) and geographical diversification. Drawingupon the institutional and stakeholder perspectives and utilising data on a sample of large UK firms, we develop a set of empirical models of CSP, and findevidence of a significant contemporaneous positive relationship between the two for some types of social performance and in some regions of the world. Overall,we provide evidence that firms shape their social performance strategies to their geographical profile.
