| Résumé : |
The social responsibility of companies is a dynamic concept which has given rise to numerous definitions and theoretical models and to a variety of company practices. As if to prove the point, its main advocate considers it to be a concept in the process of definition (Carroll, 1999). The theoretical models that are ’traditionally’ deployed to define the dimensions of CSR or the socially responsible types of behaviour of companies (Carroll, 1979, 1991; Wood, 1991) are rooted in debates as well as in analyses concerning ’western’ organizations (Europe and North America). However, it now seems clear, following the media coverage and recent interest in CSR practices outside these confines that there are important differences in terms of the nature and the content of such practices which cannot be accounted for in these theoretical models. It is true that such differences can be explained by a number of factors directly linked to the field of CSR (the context of emergence, problems of definition, etc.) but they can also be viewed in terms of the social and political context (Matten and Moon, 2008) and of the nature of national institutions. Yet so far, little research has taken into account the influence of national models and proposed a theoretical overhaul in the field. We therefore intend to explore the question of updating the theoretical frameworks with regard to current practices in CSR in order to integrate within them the national models which direct the socially responsible behaviour of companies. This exploration will be based on an analysis of various so-called ’emerging’ countries within the two distinct geographical zones of Asia and Latin America. |
