Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper presents the CSR activities among developing nations. CSR practices have got more momentum among the Western countries. However, the developing nations use philanthropic and other charitable CSR activities which account a very small fraction of CSR landscape. The authors of this paper present the detailed discussions why developing nations have not yet fully developed CSR discourses. The authors also argue that philanthropic discourse of CSR is also embedded among the European nations but they have transformed from philanthropic to more sustainable business. This paper uses literature review method to extract the relevant data of the CSR practices among developing nations. The list of developing nations is huge. Therefore, the authors of this paper have selected few developing nations including Middle East, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan and India. This paper argues that how CSR activities are carried among these countries, are their CSR activities fully developed in accordance with the international standards. The discussions and findings are presented in the paper. The authors suggest that empirical based research needs to be undertaken among the selected developing nations so that more can be learnt about the problems and issues with CSR activities.
