| Tiivistelmä: | Nowadays, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) seems to be a global concept and a prominent feature of international business, with its practice localized and differing across countries. Drawing on institutional theory (IT), this article explores the focus and form of CSR practice of companies in Kenya, Africa. It is evident that the nature and orientation of CSR differ across companies with operations only in Kenya and those headquartered abroad or with international operations. Notably, firm-related drivers like public relations and performance, and global institutional pressures explain the focus and form of Kenyan CSR. It is concluded that for the institutionalization of CSR in Kenya, attention must be paid to conditions repressing CSR uptake such as lack of government regulations, and the government's capacity and commitment to enforce regulation etc. |
