Corporate giving behavior and decision-maker social consciousness

Article Abstract:

The charitable behavior of corporations was investigated to prove or disprove the perception that companies only donate to charities if there is some form of return from the money they have given. Corporate philanthropy is not limited to monetary gifts, however. Other firms provide goods, services or assistance in soliciting donations. The study showed that companies donated to charity for altruistic reasons, which is consistent with the results of earlier studies done by C.J. Cowton in 1987 and B. Shaw and F.R. Post in 1993.

Speech and spending: corporate political speech rights under the First Amendment

Article Abstract:

An analysis of corporate political speech rights was conducted to examine the extent with which corporate expression could be protected under the First Amendment. Two cases, namely, the First National Bank v. Bellotti and Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce acted as unambiguous precedent for the legal treatment of corporate political speech. Results indicate that corporate political speech rights must be made subordinate to the claim of human beings to express their own views.

Board diversity and managerial control as predictors of corporate social performance

Article Abstract:

The managerial control thesis was found to better predict the relationship between board composition and corporate philanthropy. Also, managerial control greatly influences corporate allocations to charitable donations more than it sheds doubt on the advantages of having outsiders on the board. Moreover, philanthropic interests are beginning to be used and unraveled by international firms to effectively face the challenges of a changing corporate environment.
