The Dilemmas of Internationalization: Corporate Social Responsibility in the Multinational Corporation
研究了37家跨国公司的企业社会责任政策，发现整合的国际化策略并未解决全球与本地CSR问题，反而边缘化了本地议题。
We add to the global–local debate by highlighting concerns with the empirical and conceptual validity of the construct ‘integrated’ as it operates within corporate social responsibility ( CSR ). We do so by investigating the extent to which foreign national culture and related local issues are incorporated into the CSR policy of 37 multinational corporations, examining strategy development and implementation across global locations. This research suggests that integrated internationalization strategies do not resolve global and local CSR issues. In fact, they reinforce outcomes similar to global strategies, where core issues identified by headquarters are legitimated and local issues are marginalized, an outcome that appears somewhat at odds with the spirit of local responsiveness embedded in CSR thinking.
