Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is designed to spotlight contemporary research on corporate social

responsibility (CSR) in developing countries, with preference given to research emphasizing
local or context. Previous research on CSR has been focused principally based on the western-
contexts in the last 40 years. The Special Issue will, therefore, provide an opportunity for
contributors to spotlight their contributions to the broad fields of business, economics, political
science, law accounting, finance, marketing, supply chain, international business and
management are all welcome. The following themes would be of particular interest (NB: this list
is not exhaustive):
 What are the current trends of CSR research in developing countries?

 What are the important developments of CSR so far in developing countries?
 What questions needed to be asked to develop fruitful future research directions on CSR
in developing countries?
 What are theoretical implications of CSR in developing countries?
 How can CSR be specified and compared in different developing countries contexts?
 Where can CSR research offer best practices in developing countries?
 What are the practical and methodological challenges of conducting CSR research?
 What are the practical challenges of implementing CSR strategy in developing countries?
