“Effects of Cultural Orientation on Perceptions of CSR” (Writing Results). This paper explores perceptions of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) among individuals from different cultural groups. Studies have shown that CSR is a universal ethical and moral imperative. Similarly, studies have demonstrated that CSR has sustainable economic benefits to individuals, corporations, and societies. While there is a clear business case for CSR, few studies have looked at how individuals perceive CSR at different levels. In order for corporate entities to effectively execute CSR initiatives, actors within and outside the organization need to understand why such initiatives are being deployed and how CSR aligns with their varied interests. Stakeholders are in better position to buy in, invest and take ownership of CSR policies if they understand and have positive perceptions about such policies. The study also examines whether cultural orientation affects the perception of CSR. While CSR is a global issue, different cultural characteristics are bound to have an effect on how CSR is perceived and enacted in organizations.
