Management Culture and Corporate Social Responsibility

Depending on society culture, traditions, and era, understanding of companies' social responsibility might vary. In this part, we distinguish definitions of companies' social responsibility and discuss the roles of stakeholders. Relations between the stakeholders are discussed in the context of social capital development. We emphasize that commitment against the interested subjects can be a long-term company policy, dictated by values of an organization, rather than the strategy in the activity market. Often in the implementation practice of companies' social responsibility, there can be attention focus on one or even several very significant activities, which indicated that the organizationhas not yet assimilated the valuable content of this idea and is developing its activity by ignoring a very important principle of inner maturity.

Nepotizmo prevencija Lietuvos privataus sektoriaus organizacijose: teorinės gairėsStraipsnyje siekiama suformuluoti teorines nepotizmo gaires Lietuvos privataus sektoriaus organizacijose, pabrėžiant aktualią problemą, kad nepotizmas privačiame sektoriuje nereglamentuojamas teisiniais aktais. Nepotizmas aptariamas kaip daugiaaspektis socialinių tinklų, kuriuos sudėtinga identifikuoti remiantis vien tik giminystės ryšiais, formavimasis. Atkreipiamas dėmesys į susijusius mokslinius požiūrius, kurių įvertini-mas gali būti reikšmingas nustatant problemos sprendimo gaires. Aptariami nepotizmo prevencijos viešajame ir privačiame sektoriuje aspektai, kuriuos įvertinus, organizacijų vadovams siūlomi įgyvendinti prevenciniai sprendimai, padėsiantys sumažinti reiškinio daromą žalą. Raktiniai žodžiai: nepotizmas, viešasis sektorius, privatus sektorius, prevencija.The article aims to formulate theoretical guidelines of nepotism in Lithuanian private sector organizations, highlighting the relevant problem that nepotism in the private sector is not regulated by legal acts. Nepotism is discussed as a multifaceted formation of social networks, which are difficult to identify on the basis of mere family connections. To achieve the objective, the aspects of preventing nepotism in the public and private sector are discussed, upon the evaluation of which, preventive solutions are offered to managers of organizations in order to reduce the harm caused by the phenomenon.

“…The communication of economic responsibilities might be prioritised or marginalised. It might or might not be related to the communication of social and environmental responsibilities (Banerjee & Bonnefous 2011;Humphreys & Brown 2008;O'Connor & Gronewold 2012). Functionalist business research (e.g., Cai, Jo & Pan 2012) tends to underestimate the complexity of these tensions by assuming a kind of natural win-win-relationship: being profitable and being a "good corporate citizen" are claimed to be mutually supportive.…”

“…We agree with the authors when they state, "studies on the relation between such controversial industry sectors and CSR are in its infant stage and we do not fully understand why and how firms in controversial industries gain or sneak legitimacy through CSR engagement" (p. 468). However, in recent years in particular, there have been a few studies (Banerjee & Bonnefous 2011;Cai, Jo & Pan 2012;Du & Vieira Jr. 2012;Frynas 2005;Yoon, Gürhan-Canli, & Schwarz 2006;Livesey 2002;Livesey & Kearins 2002;O'Connor & Gronewold 2012;Palazzo & Richter 2005;Slack 2012;Wheeler, Fabig & Boele 2002). Results appear to be counter-intuitive and show that controversial industries do not avoid CSR claims.…”

Companies are confronted with differing public perceptions, which influence the way in which they present their social and environmental responsibilities. Our qualitative study compares the online responsibility communication of two companies from the energy sector: Shell, representing the controversial but profitable oil industry; and Vestas, representing the sustainable wind industry, the financial competitiveness of which is sometimes called into question. The website analysis reveals that both companies engage in inverted positioning. They invert perceived weaknesses into strengths: Shell highlights its social and environmental responsibilities, whereas Vestas, instead of capitalising on its potential as a CSR brand, highlights its economic responsibility. Theoretically, we integrate inverted positioning into a constitutive process model of responsibility communication. Inverted positioning might lead either to a reputational downward spiral, making a company less credible in the longer term, or the public communication of contested responsibilities functions as a self-imposed ambition that can, over time, induce substantial corporate learning processes.
