Based on statistical analysis and modeling studies, this article analyzed and compared 51 well-known transnational corporations, complemented by typical case studies. The main conclusions are as follows: First, transnational corporations from different regions put emphasis on different aspects of global responsibility. Northern American corporations pay more attention to the implement of global strategy and saving energy, while European corporations value more about the disclosure of responsibility data and the achievement of environmental goals. Japanese and Korean corporations focus on the charitable donations and working safety. Second, both transnational corporations' strategy and responsibility performance are correlated with the location of its parent corporation but are irrelevant with the distributing of the industry. Third, transnational corporations' public responsibility performance is negatively correlated with its global strategy, while environmental and employee responsibility performance is positively correlated with it. |
