Abstract: | Based on a questionnaire to assess perceptive differences in corporate social responsibility (CSR) among business students in the United States (U.S.), China, and India, it is found that American and Indian respondents attached more importance to the non-economic aspects of social responsibility than Chinese respondents. Chinese students were more accepting of making facilitating payments to get things moving. Indian respondents emphasized more philanthropy whereas the U.S. group set more emphasis on legal obligations. In the choice of business goals, there is generally little difference btw. the three nationality groups. The two main goals selected are taking care of owners' interests and consumers' needs. |
