Papers by Charlotte M. Karam
Indeed, recent work seems to suggest that CSR in developing countries is shaped by the institutional constellations of these specific contexts. The research on the context-dependence of CSR has indeed been accentuated in recent years (Jamali and Neville 2011) with increasing attention to the potential salience of a distinctive set of CSR agenda challenges in the developing world (Visser 2008). Hence, we set out in this book chapter to juxtapose insights derived from CSR research in developed versus developing economies, with the aim of exploring whether there are key distinctive themes that emerge from CSR research focused on developing economies that are not commonly or centrally explored in CSR research on the
developed world.
As a baseline, we use the work of Aguinis and Glavas (2012) in which these authors review and highlight key trends pertaining to research on CSR largely in the developed world. Their recent meta-analysis included a review of 588 journal articles of which only 88 (14.97 percent) focused on developing countries. We present, in contrast, the key findings from our own meta-analysis of 285 articles focusing on CSR in developing countries (Jamali and Karam under review). We believe that comparing the two sets of articles critically and analytically will be helpful in organizing and advancing our understanding of the peculiar themes and elements of CSR in the developing world.
