“…A prima facie, it appears to be in line with stakeholder theory (e.g., Parmar et al 2010;Wicks and Freeman 1998). However, stakeholder theory still basically is stakeholder capitalism; in fact it is a particular libertarian form of capitalism, championing personal freedom, individual property rights and a minimal state.…”

“…Some scholars, in particular those involved in Critical management studies, fear that Pragmatism may enhance already existing positivist and managerialist tendencies in current business ethics, intent on prescribing rules, codes and guidelines for managerial conduct that, however, do not touch on the nature of the capitalist production system, with its emphases on profit, efficiency and productivity (e.g., Painter-Morland and Ten Bos 2016;Parker 2003;Stokes 2011;Wray-Bliss 2009). Other scholars see more emancipatory potential in Pragmatism, arguing that it complements and supports stakeholder theory, in which managers and firms are exhorted to look beyond narrow shareholder interests to include environmental concerns and the interests of employees, clients and the communityat-large (e.g., Jacobs 2004;Parmar et al 2010;Wicks and Freeman 1998).…”

“…Ces deux théories bien qu'elles présentent des similitudes au niveau conceptuel 4 , les plaidoyers de la théorie institutionnelle l'ont ignorées ce qui constitue une opportunité pour mener davantage d'études dans ce sens (Parmar et al, 2010).…”

“…Elle contribue à la diffusion d'une culture de transparence rejoignant ainsi les principes de la gouvernance. Toutefois, la théorie des parties prenantes bien qu'elle apparaisse comme une théorie de la firme proposant une vision alternative de la gouvernance, elle se focalise sur les actionnaires considérés comme les parties prenantes les plus importantes (Campbell, 2006) tout en ignorant la nature des liens entre l'entreprise et son environnement (Parmar et al, 2010). Dans ce cadre, cette théo-rie suppose que les parties prenantes ont des préférences homogènes ce qui ne permet pas d'appréhender facilement la dynamique du processus de construction sociale et cognitive par lequel les intérêts d'une partie prenante sont pris en compte (Wolfe et Putler, 2002;Fassin, 2008Fassin, et 2009 5 .…”

Cet article se propose d’étudier si les caractéristiques de gouvernance des entreprises socialement responsables diffèrent de celles des autres entreprises. A partir d’un échantillon d’entreprises socialement responsables (classées dans Business Ethics magasine) et d’un échantillon témoin pour la période 2006-2009, nous avons cherché à savoir si la responsabilité sociale était un levier déterminant qui contribuerait à l’amélioration de la qualité de gouvernance. Sur les échantillons concernés, la démonstration n’a pu être faite d’un lien entre la responsabilité sociale et la gouvernance.This study examines whether socially responsible firms behave differently from other firms in their corporate governance. Specifically, we question whether firms that exhibit corporate social responsibility (CSR) also behave in a responsible manner to enhance corporate governance practices. Using Business Ethics lists for 2006 to 2009, we have constructed a sample with 350 U.S. companies receiving an ethics rating and 350 other firms (considered as matching firms and not considered as socially responsible firms in any CSR ratings). Our results show no differences in corporate governance characteristics between the two samples of firms.El objetivo de este trabajo es establecer si las características de gobernanza de las empresas socialmente responsables difieren de las de otras empresas. Basados en una muestra de empresas socialmente responsables (clasificación Business Ethics) y en una muestra testigo por el período 2006-2009, hemos intentado establecer si la responsabilidad social es un factor deter- minante que contribuye al mejoramiento de la calidad de la gobernanza. Sobre la base de dichas muestras, no se pudo demostrar que existe un nexo entre responsabilidad social y gobernanza

ICTs should be used to narrow the digital divide that exists between advantaged and underserved communities. Given South Africa's socio-economic legacy, higher education institutions (HEI) were tasked by Government to make social responsiveness a key principle of their mandate. This study identified factors hindering and promoting sustainability in ICT4D initiatives and analysed how HEIs influence the sustainability of such initiatives. A case study was conducted in a telecentre from an underserved community in Cape Town. Through its findings, the study can promote the positive influence of HEIs on the sustainability of ICT4D initiatives and further increase the positive impact of these initiatives on the community.
