Using the varieties of capitalism perspective and institutional theory as frameworks, we analyze cross-cultural differences between firms' corporate social responsibility (CSR) approaches. We investigate three countries with different institutional settings: the United States, representing a liberal market economy; Italy, representing a coordinated market economy; and Poland, an example of a dependent market economy. We examine the differences in their CSR stances, operationalized through Porter and Kramer's concept of the four CSR categories: good citizenship, mitigating harm from the value chain, transforming value chain activities, and strategic philanthropy, based on data from 269 questionnaires administered to managers attending executive seminars at the authors' universities. Focusing on stakeholder engagement activities (SEAs) across the three economies, we show that companies in all three countries engage in the four categories of CSR activities. However, using a series of tests and rankings on means and standard deviations, followed by the subsequent analysis of variance, we argue that SEAs are emphasized more in American than in Polish and Italian companies, with the latter two countries showing more subtle differences despite some institutional similarities. Our results shed light on how different capitalistic models are associated with different CSR approaches, allowing policy-makers and practitioners to better tackle CSR objectives in different countries.

企业社会责任和比较资本主义框架:来自美国、波兰和意大利的证据

我们以各种资本主义视角和制度理论为框架,分析了企业企业社会责任 (CSR) 方法之间的跨文化差异。我们调查了三个具有不同制度设置的国家:代表自由市场经济的美国;意大利,代表协调的市场经济;和波兰,一个依赖市场经济的例子。我们检查了他们的 CSR 立场的差异,通过 Porter 和 Kramer 的四个 CSR 类别的概念来实施:良好的公民身份、减轻价值链的伤害、转变价值链活动和战略慈善事业,基于对参加会议的管理人员进行的 269 份问卷调查的数据在作者所在大学举办的高管研讨会。我们关注三个经济体的利益相关者参与活动 (SEA),表明这三个国家的公司都参与了四类 CSR 活动。然而,使用一系列关于均值和标准差的测试和排名,以及随后的方差分析,我们认为美国公司比波兰和意大利公司更强调 SEA,后两个国家尽管存在一些差异,但表现出更微妙的差异制度相似性。我们的结果阐明了不同的资本主义模式如何与不同的企业社会责任方法相关联,从而使决策者和从业者能够更好地实现不同国家的企业社会责任目标。使用一系列关于均值和标准差的测试和排名,然后是随后的方差分析,我们认为美国公司比波兰和意大利公司更强调 SEA,后两个国家尽管有一些制度相似性,但表现出更细微的差异. 我们的结果阐明了不同的资本主义模式如何与不同的企业社会责任方法相关联,从而使决策者和从业者能够更好地实现不同国家的企业社会责任目标。使用一系列关于均值和标准差的测试和排名,然后是随后的方差分析,我们认为美国公司比波兰和意大利公司更强调 SEA,后两个国家尽管有一些制度相似性,但表现出更细微的差异. 我们的结果阐明了不同的资本主义模式如何与不同的企业社会责任方法相关联,从而使决策者和从业者能够更好地实现不同国家的企业社会责任目标。
