Recently, researchers and practitioners are emphasizing the importance of integrated-strategic perspective between market and non-market strategies. In this perspective, this study was designed to examine the relationships between cultural distance and the degree of localization strategy and also the moderating effects between them. Using CSR data together with the localization index data (from 2010 to 2012) of multinational companies competing in Chinese market, the three hypotheses proposed in the study were examined. The results of multiple regression analyses show that cultural distance is positively related to the degree of localization strategy of multinational companies. The corporate social responsibility is also positively related to the degree of localization strategy of multinational companies. However, there is negative moderating effect of corporate social responsibility on the relationship between cultual distance and the degree of localization strategy. The findings of this study representing the complementary effects between localization strategy and corporate social responsibility imply that the effect of market competitive strategy can be complemented by non-market strategy. Thus, firms should plan their non-market strategies in the perspective of integrated strategic perspective with market strategy to compete with competitors and increase performance more efficiently.

Corporate primary goal has shifted from profit-orientation toward broader socially motivated perspectives, over the recent year. According to this phenomena, extensive research have been conducted to assess the empirical association between CSR and firm value. However, the results of previous studies are largely indeterminate which are attributed to the ignoring various indeterminate variables between CSR and firm value. Specifically, the purpose of this paper verifies the empirical association between CSR and firm value with considering capital constraint as core moderator variable by using structural equation modeling(SEM). Main results of this paper are as follows. We find that firms with better CSR performance face lower capital constraint and capital constraint is significantly related to firm value in negative direction, also. The result suggest that better CSR performance is associated with superior stakeholder engagement, in turn, CSR initiatives leads to firm value creation. Also, the capital constraint still remain positive to firm value even if capital constraint is considered moderator variables. Our findings implicated that CSR literatures should consider moderator variables, such as capital constraint, which could be affected firm value.

Despite expectations of short- or long-term positive effects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on firm performance, the results of existing research into this relationship are inconsistent partly due to lack of clarity about subordinate CSR concepts. In this study, keywords related to CSR concepts are extracted from atypical sources, such as newspapers, using text mining techniques to examine the relationship between CSR and firm performance. The analysis is based on data from the New York Times, a major news publication, and Google Scholar. We used text analytics to process unstructured data collected from open online documents to explore the effects of CSR on short- and long-term firm performance. The results suggest that the CSR index computed using the proposed text - online media - analytics predicts long-term performance very well compared to short-term performance in the absence of any internal firm reports or CSR institute reports. Our study demonstrates the text analytics are useful for evaluating CSR performance with respect to convenience and cost effectiveness.

오늘날 급변하는 환경 속에서 기업이 계속 살아남고 성장해 나가기 위해서는 경제적 측면에서의 효율성이나 경쟁력을 강화해 나가야 함과 동시에 보다 거시적이고 장기적인 시각에서 사회로부터 정상적인 기업 활동을 인정받는 사회적 정당성(social legitimacy)을 획득하기 위해 노력해야 한다. 그렇지 않으면 해당 기업에 대해서는 물론 국가 전체적으로 반(反)기업정서가 만연하게 된다. 바로 이러한 시각에서 볼 때 여기서 우리가 다루고자 하는 기업의 사회적 책임과 기업윤리 문제는 기업의 지속가능경영을 위한 거시경영분야의 연구에서도 가장 주목을 받는 부분이다.
