Abstract:
|
This paper places corporate social responsibility in the context of the resource-based-view of the firm, and then uses relationship management to explain the growing involvement of business in corporate social responsibility activities. It argues that the value of the public relations function to the enterprise is the capacity to aid relationship management – at a level linked to corporate strategy rather than the communications outputs perspective common to much public relations practice. In doing so, the paper views corporate social responsibility as a facilitator of relationship management and therefore, building support networks for the organization instead of viewing corporate social responsibility as a set of activities that act as vehicles for building organizational legitimacy through the management of perceptions. The paper uses a case study approach to apply the concept to a single multinational firm in the building and construction industry. The paper identifies a series of specific public relations practices used in managing relationships as part of a CSR program that result in relationships that are not easily reproduced by other organizations. |
