Project Title Acting with Impunity? The Performance Impact and Strategic Outcomes of Corporate Social Irresponsibility
Project Description Complex global challenges such as climate change and the 2008 financial crisis have pushed firms to adopt more socially responsible strategies. Yet many still display socially irresponsible behavior, and the demonstrable effect on firm performance and strategic growth has been scarcely researched. Consequently, this thesis aims address the following overarching research question: does corporate social irresponsibility (CSiR) adversely affect performance and
strategic growth or can firms act with impunity? Specifically, we examined the financial and non-financial outcomes of being socially irresponsible. Additionally, we analyzed whether corporate
political activity (CPA) and corporate reputation moderate these relationships.
