Tiivistelmä: | This article poses the question what differences in approaches to corporate social responsibility (CSR) exist within the small and medium-sized company (SMEs) category. The CSR strategy and performance of a medium-sized (here as: M-S.) fashion retailer in the United Kingdom (U.K.) are analysed through manager interviews and customer and employee surveys. An analytical framework of CSR is developed in small (as: S-S.), medium (as: M-S.) and large firms (as: L-S.). It is argued that M-S. firms occupy a transition stage, with some CSR features reminiscenting of S-S. being still important but getting overlaid by aspects more typical of L-S. |
