| Tiivistelmä: | Many UK public companies invest considerable resources in charitable donations and community involvement. Using semi-structured interviews with public company officers, the author sought to investigate the motivations behind this activity. He answers the question if it was undertaken because of an expectation of commercial benefit, out of a sense of obligation, or for other reasons. It appeared that public companies were increasingly anxious to make connections between corporate activity in the community and business activities. Public companies linked with local communities clearly felt a sense of connection with them. |
