Does Engaging Commercial Customers In A Shared Social Mission Improve Impact Sourcing Service Provider (Issp) Success? A Critically Appraised Topic, Michael F. Corbett
Engaged Management ReView
This topic paper examines whether engaging commercial customers through a shared social mission improves the success of social enterprises. It is based on an examination of a subset of the information technology and business process outsourcing (ITO/BPO) industries, known as impact sourcing service providers (ISSPs).

This study investigates the differential roles of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the context of negative events. By categorizing CSR and negative events by their respective stakeholder groups, primary and secondary stakeholders, we theorize and test differential impacts of CSR and their interaction effects with different types of negative events. We propose that, while CSR toward secondary stakeholders offers the monotonous risk-tempering effect, CSR toward primary stakeholders has heterogeneous effects when facing negative events. Specifically, the effect of CSR toward primary stakeholders varies with the type of negative events. When negative events are associated with secondary stakeholders in the domain …

Supply Chain Management Undergraduate Honors Theses
A story that has to be told too often is that of the people who cannot afford lifesaving medications, and as a result do not survive. Doctor Nicky Mehtani says that the inability of a patient to afford their medication can be a common cause of death. This is an answer not accepted by grieving family members who have lost a loved one. It is estimated that more than a fourth of people in the United States needing medical treatment struggle with payment or simply cannot afford to pay for the lifesaving medications that they need (Mehtani, 2018). Deteriorating American …

Effectiveness Of Checkout Charities: Exploring Generational Differences, Shaylee R. Ferguson, Lauren Beverly, Jamye Foster
Association of Marketing Theory and Practice Proceedings 2023
As consumer-brand relationships continue to evolve, the role of cause-related marketing (CRM) is becoming increasingly complex (Mohr et al., 1998). A specific type of CRM, checkout charities, is becoming common in brick-and-mortar and online retailers (Sudbury & Vossler, 2021). Previous check-out-charity research has focused on consumer stress and cause fit while ignoring the influence of generational differences on perceptions and participation. Research has found that some generational groups differ in motivations for giving and donation expectations, thus impacting consumer behaviors in the context of checkout charities. Therefore, this study will attempt to answer the following research question: Do younger generations …

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) positively impacts performance and profitability for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Small and medium-sized enterprise leaders are reluctant to engage in CSR activities because of the assumed high-cost implication and possible impairment of profitability. Grounded in social capital theory, the purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to examine the relationship between workforce-based CSR activities, society-based CSR activities, market-based CSR activities, regulation-based CSR activities, and SMEs’ business profitability. The participants were 109 SME owners in Lagos, Nigeria. Data were collected using questionnaires administered online through google forms. The results of the multiple linear regression were significant, …
