Shouldering more corporate social responsibility (CSR) has not only become a label marking the integration of modern enterprises into the industrial network, but also promoted the practice of relying on binding institutions to ensure the implementation of CSR. Based on the examination of domestic and foreign literatures and the "institutional factors" of CSR, this study summarizes the consensus reached by international theoretical circle on the institutionalization of CSR and analyzes the current situation of and problems and challenges faced by the institutionalization of CSR in China. On the basis of the above analysis, this article takes 200 enterprises in the information industry in Shanghai, China's engine of economic development, as research samples to explore the key issues of CSR institutionalization and the priorities among them, and puts forward multiple plans for the realization of the institutionalization of CSR in contemporary China. |
