| Tiivistelmä: | This article capitalizes on an institutional perspective to discuss corporate social responsibility (CSR) orientations in Lebanon. Particularly, a new theoretical framework is compiled founding on a multi-level model of institutional flows by Scott (Institutions and organizations: ideas and interests, 2008) and the explicit/implicit CSR model by Matten and Moon (Acad Manag Rev 33(2):404-424, 2008). The new theoretical framework is then used to examine the CSR convergence versus divergence question considering a developing country. The findings emphasize the usefulness of the compiled multi-layered institutional framework and the varied nuances and profound insights it provides in analyzing CSR in context. Also, a cosmetic level of global convergence in explicit CSR might materialize in light of mimetic isomorphic pressures, the path dependence hypothesis however being salient in light of national history development paths and socio-politico configurations. The results correspond most closely to patterns of CSR crossvergence, combining both convergence and divergence elements and reflecting in complex hybridized CSR expressions. Also implications are provided and evaluated. |
