This book was released on 2011 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study mainly investigates corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure in the annual reports of Malaysian government - linked companies (GLCs). Although a number of studies have looked into CSR in Malaysian companies, very little or limited research has been done on GLCs. CSR can be defined as a subject that covers from business ethics, good governance and legal practices to social obligation and sustainable environment. Being a business where the government has a major ownership and control, GLCs can be expected to lead others in good governance practices including CSR practice. That is because the objective of GLCs' formation is not purely profit driven but includes social aspects to ensure a more equitable society. This study examines the CSR items most disclosed, the extent of CSR disclosure and to examine whether corporate characteristics and corporate governance characteristics are good explanatory variables in determining CSR disclosure among 27 GLCs for the years 2005 and 2007. The two years were chosen to see if the introduction of the Silver Book in 2006 has an impact on CSR disclosure. A CSR disclosure checklist was used to score the items in the annual reports. The t test and non-parametric Mann- Whitney test showed that the extent of disclosure was higher in 2007 and the difference was statistically significant at the 5% level. This result appears to suggest that the introduction of the Silver Book in 2006 has had positive impact on CSR in Malaysian GLCs. The results further revealed that board size was a significant variable influencing CSR disclosure in 2005. It would appear that larger board size would stimulate healthier discussions on CSR and hence involvement and disclosure of those activities in corporate annual reports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of corporate social responsibility which was introduced in the early 1920s has become an integral part of business nowadays. In Malaysia, Bursa Malaysia has introduced the Bursa Malaysia CSR framework in 2006 to promote better CSR disclosure in Malaysian public listed companies' annual reports. On top of that, the year 2006 also witnessed the introduction of the Silver Book, an additional CSR disclosure guideline for the Malaysian Government-Linked Companies (GLCs). Pursuant to these new milestones in Malaysian CSR practice, the present study aims to provide an updated analysis on the extent and quality of CSR disclosure among Malaysian largest public listed companies including the GLCs. In addition to that, several firms' characteristics were statistically tested to ascertain their influence on the extent and quality of CSR disclosure. These firms' characteristics are profitability, industry type, multiple listing status, company age, industry competitiveness, and Shari'ah compliance status. The extent and quality of CSR disclosure were discussed in light of the political economy theory and the concept of political visibility. In order to examine the extent and quality of CSR disclosure, content analysis using a CSR disclosure checklist and decision rules adopted from Hackston and Milne (1996) were utilised. The present study also performed statistical analysis in order to analyse the relationships between firms' characteristics and the extent and quality of CSR disclosure. Samples consisted of 100 largest Malaysian public listed companies which include 20 GLCs. Results suggested that all sample companies provide CSR disclosure ranging from 34 to 1,846 number of sentences. Despite that, the quality of CSR disclosure is still low with a high dominance of declarative sentences. Among the six independent variables tested, only industry type and industrial competiveness are influencing CSR disclosure. Overall, the findings provide some support to the political economy theory and the concept of political visibility. Thus, the present study made some contribution to the CSR research, particularly in Malaysia. The present study also provides some indicator as to the current state of extent and quality of CSR disclosure in Malaysia. Future researchers are proposed to embark on a longitudinal analysis on CSR disclosure. In methodological aspect, future researchers are suggested to perform a triangulation research method in order to gain a more in-depth understanding on the extent and quality of CSR disclosure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an important issue in contemporary business, management and politics, especially since the launch of the United Nations Global Compact in 2000 as an initiative to encourage businesses worldwide to adopt sustainable and socially responsible policies, and to report on them. This book examines the theory and practice of CSR in Asia. The philosophical and ideological underpinnings of CSR are rooted in Anglo-American and European principles of liberal democratic rights, justice and societal structures. This book not only considers the impact of Western CSR practices in Asia, but also provides much needed Asian perspectives on this issue. It investigates the operation of CSR in different countries across Asia, including China, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand and Bangladesh – comparing the different meanings given to CSR, and the varying degrees of success experienced in different national contexts. This book argues if CSR is ever to revolutionize the manner in which we trade then it is needs to open itself up to the full variety of social responsibility as it occurs around the world. The book re-maps and refines debates about CSR as a global phenomenon, and will be of great value to professionals making strategic decisions in the global business environment.
