| Tiivistelmä: | This article aims i. to analyze, using a descriptive analysis, the main differences in the level and components of social behaviour btw. European and North American firms, and ii. to contrast empirically, using a multiple linear regression model, whether the motives behind corporate social behaviour differ depending on the region or country of the firm. An indicator of social behaviour called effort in sustainability has been built by aggregating the firm's social effort with customers, employees, community and environment for a sample of the 40 European and North American most highly reputed companies from 2003 to 2004. The results indicate that the region or country of the firm influences the level, components and motivation of its social behaviour. |
