“…It must be admitted that, on the one hand, there are differences in the perception and implementation of CSR practices related to different cultures [37][38][39][40][41][42][43] or corporate culture (e.g., [44]). One of the important conditions for understanding the role in the context of social responsibility is related to the perception of shareholders and the competencies of hired professionals to develop the strategies and use ethical potential.…”

Current corporations are subject to stringent requirements in terms of sustainable development; however, a relevant problem is highlighted on the basis of the studies conducted. On the one hand, corporations experience greater or lesser pressure, while on the other hand, it must be admitted that the problem of demand for professionals, which is presupposed by the insufficient quality of training in higher education institutions, is important. This is somewhat strange given that the issues of business ethics, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability have attracted increased attention in management education in recent years, and a five-fold increase in the number of stand-alone ethics courses has been noted since 1988. This interaction could contribute to the development of CSR, however a certain dissonance of cooperation between higher education and business exists, as there is a lack of leadership in this area in the study programs of business administration approved by the states, as well as in higher education institutions. Given these facts, the goal of the paper is to analyze the Master of Business Administration programs in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia to offer direction to the challenge of integrating corporate social responsibility (CSR) into management and training. The method of analysis of professional business and administration training program content in terms of the integration of CSR was used during the survey. Using panel data of 28 full-time MBA programs, our findings show that that the core parts of MBAs under analysis merely-and mostly indirectly-cover CSR issues through one core course on business ethics. However, the leading MBA programs are currently missing an opportunity by ignoring their responsibility to support the training of CSR-minded future business administration professionals. The results of our research may act as a guide to which areas should be modified and/or changed.

“…As we show in this paper, it is crucial to examine language as an important underlying-and largely exogenous-feature that shapes cultural values and the norms in a society. We build on prior research that developed the FTR language approach to distinguish our approach from prior research literatures that have focused on survey or other observational elements of different cultural systems (Hofstede, 1980;Kim & Kim, 2010). Secondly, our research contributes to the ways in which perceptual category systems focus the attention, and subsequently, the behaviors, of corporate leaders.…”

“…To avoid multicollinearity, we apply a two-stage approach by regressing Legal Origin (the English common law dummy) on FTR in the first stage, and put its residual (which is orthogonal to FTR) as an explanatory variable, together with other independent variables, in the second stage regression. In addition, we control for potential countrylevel cultural channels on CSR, by including the widely-used Hofstede's five cultural dimensions (Kim & Kim, 2010). These cultural controls help explore whether non-linguistic cultural traits or norms are coincident with language to determine CSR.…”

“…Here, we use Hofstede's model to represent cultural context (Hofstede et al 2010); that model (or in its previous versions) has been widely used in the CSR literature (e.g., Fernández-Feijoo et al 2012;Kim and Kim 2010;Maignan 2001;Ringov and Zollo 2007;Williams and Zinkin 2008). Currently, Hofstede's model consists of six dimensions to describe the national cultures over the world: (i) individualism/collectivism; (ii) masculinity/femininity; (iii) uncertainty avoidance or level of confidence; (iv) power distance or hierarchy; (v) long-/short-term orientation; and finally, (vi) indulgence/restraint.…”

This paper contributes to the debate on the corporate governance of financial institutions, by studying the effect of different board characteristics on the level of corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosures of banks. For that, we use a sample composed by 159 banks over the period [2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010]. We found that independent directors and gender diversity favor the disclosure CSR information in baking sector. But, these results are moderated by the national cultural system; concretely, previous positive effects of independence and diversity of banks' boards on CSR reporting are reduced in countries with a weaker cultural system, that is, individualist, masculine and vertically stratified societies, that are little indulgent and short-term oriented and show high levels of uncertainty avoidance.
