Abstract
This article presents a case study of a big German enterprise (Siemens) facing a large wave of public critique and protest activities. The public was concerned about the political circumstances surrounding the construction of the Cabora Bassa hydroelectric dam in Mozambique in which Siemens was largely involved.
This study reports the escalating protest against the firm over three years (1970–1972) and the firm's responses during that period. The analysis of the case focuses exclusively on one aspect: The response behavior of the firm which is interpreted in the light of the business social responsibility doctrine.
The article proposes that the firm experienced a legitimation crisis and responded by reorienting its philosophy of business.
