Advances in Corporate Governance A Global Perspective

Book Abstract

This Book ?Corporate Governance - Recent Advances and Perspectives?is a comprehensive overview of recent developments in business, management and economics. Chapters cover such topics as agency theory and internationalization,Corporate Social Responsibility, COVID-19 and corporate governance performance, gender diversity and corporate governance, and much more.The purpose of this research paper is to review the complete CSR literature laying emphasis on CSR constructs and the theoretical perspectives in Pakistan.Collation of existing empirical and exploratory research has been used to make arguments about current status of academic CSR research. A total of sixty-?ve published articles on CSR from 2000 to 2021 have been reviewed. A thorough overview of CSR constructs highlighted that overall, the CSR constructs are not properly developed, and theoretical foundations are lacking. Corporate donations and philanthropy captured as CSR construct are still familiar among the researchers. It has been observed that the most recent literature is approaching towards maturity. The ?ndings suggest that the lack of adequate explanation of theoretical foundations mislead the interpretation of results. There is partial support in the literature that CSR pays to the ?rms, as is depicted by the positive relationship between CSR and the facets investigated by the researchers but thorough emphasis is required on CSR measurement.
