Heikkurinen, P (2018) Strategic corporate responsibility: a theory review and synthesis. Journal of Global Responsibility, 9 (4). pp. 388-414. ISSN 2041-2568
Abstract
Purpose: This article examines how responsibility and strategy can and should be connected in a business organization.
Design/methodology/approach: The article offers a review of the field by mapping previous studies according to their strategy and responsibility orientations and, consequently, identifies the classic perspective, as well as the major deficiencies and prevailing research gaps in the literature.
Findings: The article contributes to the field of strategic corporate responsibility by reframing the field with a contender perspective that challenges the classic view of strategy and responsibility amalgamation. Together, the classic and the contender perspectives are synthesized to form an integrative perspective that is more holistic than those currently available.
Originality/value: The article ends by calling for a reimagining of the relationship between corporate responsibility and strategy to find promising future research avenues and effective business practices suitable to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century.
