The Comparative Study Of The Chinese Corporate Social Responsibility

The concept of corporate social responsibility has become the controversial focus of economics,sociology,law, management and so on since it has born.Taking the definition of corporate social responsibility for example,it has dozens of different definition which scholars both at home and abroad give,at present the idea of the company should or not undertake the social responsibility can be divided into strong two camps, one camp thinks the company should bear the social responsibility which is basic duty of the "enterprise citizen", the other camp thinks that the only responsibility of the company is economic responsibility,bearing the social responsibility can bring enterprise risk which affects the healthy development of the enterprise.Apparently the corporate social responsibility theory has not been a complete and unified system framework.The Chinese domestic-funded enterprises as the world manufacture factory has get more and more criticism from western developed countries which accuses China exists a lot of sweatshops and fake production behavior that disobeys enterprise conscience,then these countries makes the high trade standards toward Chinese companies.International has established SA8000 (global first ethics international standard, ETI (Ethical Trading Initiative),the United Nations global compact (GC) and so on to call on the copanies of the whole world to fuifill the corporate social responsibility. The behavior of the chinese companies to fuifill corporate social responsibility becomes the inevitable choice Facing ever more stringent new trade barriers and the international political pressure.Presently the main problems lying in front of conductors of company is not whether to fulfill the social responsibility but is how to fulfil the social responsibility.Due to the lack of mature theoretical framework of social responsibility,it has thus made Chinese enterprise practice activity was in trouble.In order to promote the Chinese enterprise to conscientiously fulfill their social responsibilities,we must establish targeted corporate social responsibility theoretical framework for guide corporate social responsibility practice,I begin this research with the idea.This article comprehensively uses a literature review method, the method of combination of the empirical analysis and normative analysis,the historical analysis, comparative analysis, case analysis and game theory analysis method to copare the basic situation of the companies of different ownership to fulfill their corporate social responsibility. We can find out the main problem of Chinese enterprizes fulfilling the socail responsibility through the comparative analysis toward the result and then provide great value of reference for promoting the enterprizes to fulfill the social responsibility.This paper has been divided into nine chapters,the first chapter has simply introduced the study background and the realistic significance, research objectives and basic content division,ideas and methods,the innovation points and the insufficiency point which affords the reference to understand the framework of the essay.The second chapter are the literature review,the writer makes induction and summarization toward definition of corporate social responsibility, content classification,legitimacy of fulfilling the social responsibility,the relationship between corporate social responsibility and economic performance from the domestic and foreign scholars,and discusses the current research of domestic and overseas scholars from different angles.On the on the basis of these literature review,the writer refine the definition of corporate social responsibility.Then the paper puts Marx's social responsibility view,the development and evolutive harmonious thought,the stakeholder theory and enterprise citizen theory as the theory basis of enterprises to bear the social responsibility and classifies the theory respectively which afford the theoretical guidance for company to fulfill the social responsibility.The third chapter discusses the motive mechanism for the enterprises to bear the social responsibility.The writer discusses the necessity for the companies to fulfill the social-responsibility respectively from the micro dynamic mechanism (enterprise'essence and functions),medium dynamic mechanism (government and social organizations) and macro dynamic mechanism (economic globalization and international political pressure). The Results indicate that bearing the social responsibility has become an inevitable trend. No matter to say from what angle,The enterprises should bear the social responsibility,but on the background. of economic strength ranked in the top, the low rank of per wealth and economic growth is still the first priority,how to fulfill the social responsibility has become the main problem lying in front of government.The writer thinks that it is very necessary to define the development stage of corporate social responsibility firstly before promoting the companies to fulfill their social responsibility.The writer describe and define the phased characteristics from the comparison results of Chinese and western social responsibility'development process, from Chinese social stage characteristics and from the relation of corporate social responsibility,economic performance and social supervised organization,the result shows that the companies of China have been at the transformation stage from passive behavior to active perform.The definition of phased characteristics provides the possibilities for the different ownership companies to fulfill different social responsibility category.The fourth chapter is throughout the paper and plays a key role.After the definition of phased characteristics, combining Carrol's social responsibility hierarchy model and the American chamber's four hierarchical social responsibility model,the writer puts forward a innovative enterprise society responsibility model which is built on the legal force and can be divided into three levels:legal liability, the first layer of social responsibility and high layer of society responsibility.Then the writer puts forward specific form of different ownership enterprises to fulfill the social responsibility on the basis of the innovative society responsibility model.The specific form of state-owned enterprise to take the social responsibility is making the "law" as the means,fulfilling "first layer" and leading the "top",the specific form of the private enterprise is making the "law"as the goal,trying to fulfill "first layer" and outlooking the "high", the specific form of the foreign-capital enterprise is to fulfill social responsibility is adhering to the motherland culture, paying attention to "laws" and implementing the "early layer".The standard of different ownership enterprize to fulfill corporate social responsibility provides a specific standard and possibility to compare the situation of different enterprizes fulfilling the social responsibility.The fifth chapter, the sixth chapter and seventh chapter has separately transverse comparison, longitudinal comparison and experience comparison toward the specific situation of different ownership enterprize to fulfill corporate social responsibility.From the result of transverse comparison,we can see that the situation of state-owned enterprises to fulfill social responsibility is not optimistic,the situation of private enterprises to fulfill social responsibility is relative ahead, the situation of foreign-owned enterprise is in the serious lag.The longitudinal comparison results shows that the three kinds of enterprises about the social responsibility are different at historical starting point and development track.Experience comparison result indicate that at the legal responsibility aspects: state-owned enterprises behave well, private and foreign enterprise perform generally, at the first layer:state-owned and foreign enterprise behave well, private enterprise perform generally,at high layer social responsibility aspects:private enterprises behave well,state-owned enterprises perform below expectations,the foreign-capital enterprise performance not so badly.The eighth chapter shows us the problem of Chinese enterprises to fulfill the social responsibility through the comparison between the result coming from the horizontal comparison,longitudinal comparison and experience comparison and the specific form of different ownership to fulfill the social responsibility. State-owned enterprises have not become the CSR field setters and Portland,the private enterprises'performance is against the specific form to fulfill the social responsibility, the foreign-capital enterprise'society responsibility performance is not consistent with the specific form they should have.And then the writer analyses the reason for the companies to escape the social responsibility.The formation of path dependence toward the state-owned enterprises reform results in the enterprise target of economic profits is difficult to reverse,the ambiguous relation between the.state-owned enterprises and government and the phase characteristics makes state-owned enterprises are reluctant to fulfill the social responsibility.And the wrong ideas of private entrepreneurs,the lag and imperfect of institution construction and the lag of social organization construction have caused the relative lag for the private enterprises to fulfill society responsibility. The phenomenon of foreign capital enterprise to escape the social responsibility is largely due to long-term inertial thinking of "super-national treatment" and irrational behavior of foreign-capital enterprise managers,the stats quo of Chinese domestic-funded enterprises to fulfill the social responsibility has become the foreign-capital enterprise' reference system which provide the excuses for the foreign-capital enterprise to escape the social responsibility.The nineth chapter firstly analyze the bounded rationality square repeated game model based based on optimal reaction dynamic mechanism and biological evolution "replicated dynamic" simulation mechanism which explains that institution is very important in promoting the enterprise to fulfill social responsibility.Here the institution means the focus of formal institution and informal institution, the writer puts forward microcosmic, medium and macroscopic level of institution construction to promote the companies to fulfill the social responsibility.Through these targeted solving measures,this article concludes that the Chinese enterprises can form a good situation of fulfilling social responsibility on the lead role of state-owned enterprises, on the auxiliary function of private enterprise and on the complementary role of foreign-capital enterprises.There are several innovative points of the paper.The first one,the paper puts forward the basic and strongly practical significant concept of corporate social responsibility combing with the actual conditions of China.The second one,the paper analyze the relationship between social responsibility and the economic performance and social supervision organization using the Probit binary choice model and compare the development course of Chinese and western enterprises combing with the actual conditions of China and then have the phased definition toward the whole Chinese enterprises about the social responsibility.The third one,the paper puts forward the innovative CSR model and corporate social responsibility promoting model and then effectively promote the Chinese enterprise to fulfill the social responsibility.The fourth one, the paper puts forward the the specific form of different ownership enterprise to fulfill the social responsibility, according to which state-owned enterprises, private enterprises and foreign enterprises can compare the social responsibility level of them that affords larger reference value to find the problems of Chinese enterprises about social responsibility.
