“…It seems then that a strong CSRO plays a key role and makes it more likely for a firm to cooperate with others, especially in hostile international markets. CEOs' CSRO generates trust and trust is especially relevant in international scenarios, where it is a prerequisite to get involved in coopetitive relationships [40] and it is considered a key success factor for international cooperation [41]. The role of trust is even stronger under environmental hostility conditions as it may also foster long-term commitment in cooperation relationships and at the same time, provide the flexibility to cope with inevitable uncertainties that arise in a long-term exchange [58].…”

“…Because trust is a perception of confidence in others' reliability and integrity and reflects the expectation that others will do what they say they will do [24], CEOs' CSRO is attractive in terms of cooperation. This is especially relevant in international scenarios, where trust is a prerequisite to get involved in coopetitive relationships [40] and one the key success factors for international cooperation identified in the literature [41]. In a local and more face-to-face cooperation, firms can build up trust more easily [42], whereas in international scenarios, other elements need to be added to the equation.…”

Can CEOs’ Corporate Social Responsibility Orientation Improve Firms’ Cooperation in International Scenarios?

This paper intends to analyze the role of the chief executive officer’s (CEO) Corporate Social Responsibility Orientation (CSRO) on interfirm cooperation. Interfirm cooperation is central to gaining competitiveness, particularly in international scenarios where firms must deal with uncertain challenges. Nonetheless, the current understanding of its key determinants needs further development. We argue that whereas environmental hostility pushes firms to cooperate for self-interested purposes, CEOs’ CSRO pulls towards cooperation as an end in itself, even more so under hostile conditions where the need for good-willed committed partners is higher. In a sample of 124 internationalized Spanish firms, we found that CEOs’ CSRO alone increases firms’ international interfirm cooperation and that this impact is stronger under hostile international environments. Our findings thus highlight the importance of leading firms in a socially responsible direction to boost their interfirm cooperation levels in international scenarios.

“…As Cook and Burress [17] state, it is necessary for the members to understand both the benefits of the cooperative (economic justification) and its role of common protection of the cooperative members, as compared to the individual risk. Problems and difficulties may arise when these elements are not well clarified [19].…”

The need for Romanian agriculture development by efficient usage of resources and a rural environment has led to the establishment of agricultural cooperatives. Romania needs strong cooperatives and, in order to achieve this, the involvement of not only the authorities and agricultural producers, but also of each inhabitant from the rural area, is required. In the context of food market saturation with import products, it is necessary to revive the Romanian market in order to supply natural and quality products. A total of 1425 agricultural cooperatives were registered in Romania at the end of 2018, out of which 57% did not submit the Balance Sheet. The research performed within the study proposes the usage of fsQCA analysis in order to assess some conditions considered by us essential for the sustainability of the agricultural cooperatives. These conditions are represented by the initial contribution of the members, by the existence of a central collection space, by the employment of a manager, by the knowledge of the members on the development possibilities, and by the involvement of the members within the cooperative’s activity. The study highlights the fact that the absence of the conditions presented leads to the absence of a sustainable cooperative. We consider the dissolution of the cooperatives pertinent, which has not developed an activity for more than three years from their establishment and the publication on the MADR website of the National Registry of Cooperatives, which will offer a true image on the prosperity and viability of these types of entities.

“…It would also be interesting to do a similar investigation as this one on hotels in different categories to compare the results and find out which of the factors are common and which are different for the different categories. In addition, the idea of critical success factors could represent an appropriate development of this study for future research [80].…”
