Abstract
Corporate social responsibility is growing steadfast in emerging countries. Studies analyzing the factors that typically determine CSR practices of firms have often led to conflicting results. In this study, we examine corporate governance determinants that are specifically relevant to CSR in emerging countries. Analyzing a large sample of Vietnamese listed firms, we find that foreign ownership, international orientation, gender diversity, and CEO education positively influence CSR. Furthermore, we find significant joint effects of foreign ownership with international orientation, gender diversity and CEO education. The study highlights the key drivers of CSR practices of firms in emerging countries.
期刊介绍:
International trade, financing and investments have grown at an extremely rapid pace in recent years, and the operations of corporations have become increasingly multinationalized. Corporate executives buying and selling goods and services, and making financing and investment decisions across national boundaries, have developed policies and procedures for managing cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. These policies and procedures, and the related managerial actions of executives, change as new relevant information becomes available. The purpose of the Journal of Multinational Financial Management is to publish rigorous, original articles dealing with the management of the multinational enterprise. Theoretical, conceptual, and empirical papers providing meaningful insights into the subject areas will be considered. The following topic areas, although not exhaustive, are representative of the coverage in this Journal. • Foreign exchange risk management • International capital budgeting • Forecasting exchange rates • Foreign direct investment • Hedging strategies • Cost of capital • Managing transaction exposure • Political risk assessment • International working capital management • International financial planning • International tax management • International diversification • Transfer pricing strategies • International liability management • International mergers.
