소비자는 시장에서 경제적 가치뿐만 아니라 사회적 가치에도 영향력을 행사하며 기업이 사회적 책임을 다하기를 요구하고 있다. 구체적으로 이런 사회적 분위기에 편승해 기업들은다양한 사회적 책임 활동(Corporate Social Responsibility:CSR)활동을 적극적으로 펼쳐가고 있다. 아울러 학계에서도 CSR활동의 효과에 관한 다양한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 그 중에서도 CSR 활동과 브랜드 자산가치의 관계에 관한 연구들이 다수 진행되었는데, 이러한 연구의 대다수가개별브랜드 관점에서 CSR활동에 대한 소비자 반응에 초점을 맞추고 있는 게 사실이다. 하지만브랜드 매니지먼트 관점에서 볼 때, 대부분의 기업들이 다수의 브랜드를 관리하고 있는 상황을고려한다면 기업브랜드를 포함하여 살펴보는 것이 CSR활동의 효과를 좀 더 포괄적으로 이해하는데 도움이 될 것으로 보인다. 또한 브랜드 간 파급효과를 고려한 브랜드 운용의 필요성이 증가하고 있는 상황을 고려할 때, 다수의 브랜드를 보유한 기업이 CSR활동 전략을 수립할 때에도브랜드 간 파급효과를 고려해야 한다고 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구는 브랜드 계층구조에 따른 브랜드 운용과 CSR활동의 적합성 문제를 고려하였으며, CSR활동 적합성의 상대성을 반영한 2가지 CSR전략 유형의 효과를 살펴보았다. 연구 결과, 첫째 개별브랜드 중심 CSR전략과 기업브랜드 중심 CSR전략의 효과의 차이가 없었다. 특히 일부 개별브랜드의 경우에는 기업브랜드 중심 CSR전략이 오히려 더 큰 소비자의 태도 변화를 이끌어 냈다. 이를 토대로 기존의 CSR활동 관련 연구에서의 일반적 주장과 달리 브랜드 계층구조의 영향으로 적합성의 역할이 상대적으로 줄어들 수 있음을 유추해 볼 수 있다. 둘째, 동일한 기업브랜드에 속하는 하위 개별브랜드들 사이에서 CSR활동에 의한 파급효과가나타나, 명확한 브랜드 계층구조의 역할을 검증했다. 이를 통해 개별브랜드 중심 CSR전략과 기업브랜드 중심 CSR전략 모두 소비자의 브랜드에 대한 태도 변화를 유발하지만, 기업 전체적인측면에서 살펴본다면 브랜드 간 파급효과를 낳는 기업브랜드 중심 CSR전략이 더 효과적일 수있음을 밝혔다. 셋째, 개별브랜드들과 기업브랜드 간 연상의 강도를 달리하여 기업브랜드 중심CSR전략의 효과를 검증하였다. 그 결과 연상 강도에 따른 차이를 확인하여 기업브랜드 중심CSR전략의 효과는 기업브랜드를 통한 브랜드 간 연상의 파급효과에 기인함을 검증하였다. 본연구에서는 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 시사점을 논의하였다.

Purpose - The purpose of this research is to investigate the influence of social status perception and interest in social issues on the authenticity perceived by consumers of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities of premium brands. Research design, data, and methodology - Behavioral experiments were performed to observe the impact of consumers' social status perception and interest in social issues on their perceived authenticity of CSR motivation related to premium brands and consumer behavior. Results - We found that the possibility of social mobility and the degree of individuals' interest in the environment and CSR enable them to reconsider the authenticity of CSR motivation, thereby having positive effects on purchase intention, willingness to recommend the product, and brand value. This research also showed that proactive customers who seek to move up the social ladder have a stronger interest in social issues such as the environment or CSR. Conclusions - Our research suggests that when conducting a consumer segmentation analysis for the launch of CSR products (products released for CSR), a positive mind-set toward social mobility serves as an effective criterion.

In this study, a methodology is investigated for the development of social responsibility program employed by major domestic companies under social pressure. It is true, however, that its infancy in history and lack of experience makes it difficult to run novel programs for the companies on their own and it naturally leads to copying and/or slight modification of what others do. Utilizing widely accepted SWOT analysis, stakeholders analysis and PDCA Cycle, a methodology for the successful programs with sustainability is proposed by reflecting business nature and strategic direction. Three real cases are analyzed. In addition, relationship and position with social welfare organizations is elucidated.

To many, recent allegations of earnings management at Enron, coupled with similar ones at many other corporations, are a strong indication of a serious decay in business ethics. Nevertheless, the field of Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) has grown exponentially in the last decade. This study investigates the effects of CSR on earnings management. Different to precedent works which focus on Financial Performance, this study attempts to provide empirical evidence for relevance of CSR and Discretionary Accruals(DA). The study used variables in the sustainability report, and DA for its earning management too progress empirical analysis because it is believed that the measurement of accounting transparency is highly related to the CEO's opportunistic selection of the accounting. In terms of Sustainable management activities, Employee training time(ETT) is significantly and negatively associated with Discretionary accruals(DA). And also Industrial Accidents Ratio(IAR) is significantly and negatively associated with Discretionary accruals. Consequently, empirical results suggest that Discretionary accruals associated with the company's CSR activities, such as ETT, and IAR. In this study, there are limitation of generalizations and omitted variable problem.

Among the themes for CSR(Corporate Social Responsibility), consumer issues include protecting the health and safety of consumers who purchase and use the products. In particular, ensuring product safety is a major theme of consumer issues for corporate social responsibility. Currently, the government implements the Electrical Appliances and Consumer Products Safety Control Act for product safety management and selects products that may harmful to consumers as safety control items, and manages the products by designating them as 4 types of safety certification, safety confirmation, supplier conformity verification, and safety standard compliance. In this paper, we propose management plans for the establishment of a more reasonable classification type of safety management target for 48 items of consumer products to be controlled by the act, and confirm the validity of the plan. First, we perform cluster analysis using data for CISS (Consumer Injury Surveillance System) to derive a new classification type of the safety management target. Next, we compare the results of the cluster analysis with the classification type of the act and the existing scenario classification method RAS (Risk Assessment by Scenario) and the causal network method RAMP (Risk Assessment Method based on Probability). Based on these results, we propose two new plans of safety management target classification and verify its validity.

This study attempts to examine the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure and earnings management practices in the context of Saudi Arabia after mandatory IFRS adoption. It is carried out on an unbalanced panel of 277 observations over the period 2017-2019. For this purpose, CSR disclosure is measured by Bloomberg ESG scores, while the residuals from the modified Jones model are considered for earnings management. As control variables, we have retained the firm performance, market-to-book ratio, firm size, financial leverage, board independence, ownership concentration, managerial ownership, and lagged discretionary accruals. Using the system GMM estimator in the dynamic panel, the results show a positive association between CSR disclosure and earnings management practices, thus supporting the perspective of agency theory. Managers engage in socially responsible activities beforehand to conceal their wrongdoing and convince stakeholders that the organization is transparent. They probably use ethical codes as a tool to achieve their own goals rather than the firm's goals. Our contribution is the use of recent data (2017-2019) taking into account the mandatory adoption of IFRS in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, to our knowledge, this study is the first to address CSR disclosure and earnings management practices using GMM system estimates.

Purpose - It seems common sense that corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a key driver of business sustainability. Nevertheless, there has been little research on the performance of socially responsible activities, including economic and environmentally responsibility activities, in internationally diversified firms. Design/methodology - The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of CSR activities on management performance. For this evaluation, an empirical analysis was conducted with total of 2,520 cases, selected from companies listed on the Korea Composite Stock Price Index market for six years from 2013 to 2018. As proxies for management performance, financial data such as a total asset net profit ratio and a total asset operating ratio were used. A multivariate regression analysis was conducted to test hypotheses. Findings - The results of this analysis indicated that firms in the CSR outstanding group were ranked significantly higher than other groups in management performance. In addition, CSR activities of internationally diversified firms positively influenced the total asset net profit ratio and total asset operating ratio. Originality/value - The results suggest that the CSR activities of these firms can play a significant role in enhancing management performance in the economic status of Korea, where the degree of export dependency is high.

For this evaluation, an empirical analysis was conducted with a total of 2,520 cases, selected from companies listed on the Korea Composite Stock Price Index market for six years from 2013 to 2018. As proxies for management performance, financial date such as a total asset net profit ratio and a total asset-operating ratio were used. A multivariate regression analysis was conducted to test hypotheses. The results of this analysis indicated that firms in the CSR outstanding group are significantly higher than other groups in management performances. In addition, CSR activities of internationally diversified firms positively influence their total asset net profit ratio and total asset-operating ratio. The results suggested that CSR activities of these firms can play a significant role in enhancing management performances amid the economic status of Korea, where a degree of export dependency is high.

This research aims to test the effect of corporate governance factors on corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure and its impact on a company's financial performance. The factors of corporate governance referred to in this research are foreign ownership, state ownership, number of board of commissioners, the proportion of independent commissioners, and educational background of commissioners' board. Based on the purposive sampling method, 194 companies were selected with a total of 582 observations. The data analysis used in this study was the Structural Equation Model (SEM) approach by using the alternative Partial Least Square (PLS) method. The results of this research indicated that state ownership, number of board of commissioners, and the proportion of independent commissioners had a significant positive effect on CSR disclosure. While the foreign ownership and the educational background of the commissioners' board have had an insignificant effect on CSR disclosure. Then, CSR disclosure had a significant positive effect on the companies' financial performance. The findings of this study suggest that the positive effect of the CSR disclosure on performance is because the disclosure is able to improve the company's reputation; the more social activities are carried out will improve the customers' loyalty as well as the support from other stakeholders which in turns will improve the company's performance.
