Abstract

PurposeDrawing on the resource-based view (RBV) and knowledge-based view (KBV) theories, this study contributes to deepen the knowledge that corporate social responsibility (CSR) exerts on firms' innovation, considering the role played by cooperation. The research also seeks to ascertain the factors that influence the development of business cooperation.Design/methodology/approachThe database used is the Community Innovation Survey (CIS, 2014) applied in the European Union (EU) during the time period 2012–2014. A sample of 7083 Portuguese firms were analyzed through the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe results suggest that CSR positively relates with firms' innovation, and business cooperation partially mediates this relationship. The outcomes also reveal that investing in certain types of innovation activities increases the firms' willingness to cooperate.Originality/valueThe findings contribute to encourage an open innovation strategy as an easy and effective way to cope with rapid trends and changes, since it demonstrates the complementary between innovation and cooperation, as sources of value creation. From a triple bottom line (TBL) perspective, it also highlights that CSR must include social, economic and environmental initiatives, and should be a part of the firms' innovation strategy. As a result, managers who intend to contribute for society in the long term should plan, monitor and manage all CSR dimensions.
链接企业社会责任、合作与创新:三重底线视角
目的借鉴资源基础观(RBV)和知识基础观(KBV)理论,在考虑合作作用的前提下,深化企业社会责任对企业创新的影响。研究还试图确定影响商业合作发展的因素。设计/方法/方法使用的数据库是2012-2014年期间在欧盟(EU)应用的社区创新调查(CIS, 2014)。通过偏最小二乘结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)分析了7083家葡萄牙公司的样本。结果表明企业社会责任与企业创新呈正相关,而企业合作在这一关系中起部分中介作用。研究结果还表明,投资某些类型的创新活动增加了企业的合作意愿。原创性/价值研究结果有助于鼓励开放式创新战略作为一种简单有效的方法来应对快速的趋势和变化,因为它证明了创新与合作之间的互补,作为价值创造的来源。从三重底线(TBL)的角度来看,它还强调了企业社会责任必须包括社会、经济和环境举措,并且应该成为企业创新战略的一部分。因此,打算长期为社会做出贡献的管理者应该计划、监督和管理企业社会责任的所有方面。
