Abstract

(VF)Cet article propose un cadre d’analyse renouvelé de la Responsabilité Sociale de l’Entreprise (RSE), afin de faciliter le développement de perspectives de recherches alternatives au paradigme fonctionnaliste. Ce modèle articule quatre perspectives alternatives sur l’interface entreprise / société auxquelles correspondent quatre approches de la RSE : la RSE comme fonction de régulation sociale, la RSE comme relation de pouvoir, la RSE comme produit culturel et enfin la RSE comme construction sociocognitive. L’article démontre l’intérêt de ce cadre d’analyse pluraliste pour dé-fonctionnaliser la littérature sur les relations entreprise / société, et faire émerger de nouvelles questions de recherche sur la RSE.(VA)This paper proposes a new framework for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) that aims at moving the Business and Society research field beyond the dominant functionalist paradigm. Burrell and Morgan’s (1979) grid of analysis is mobilized to develop an alternative framework for CSR. This framework distinguishes four perspectives on the corporation- society interface which give rise to four approaches to CSR: CSR as a social regulatory function, CSR as a power relationship, CSR as a cultural product and CSR as a sociocognitive construction. The article shows how the framework can be used to “de-functionalize” research on the corporation-society interface, account for the most recent conceptual developments in the CSR field, and construct a renewed research agenda for CSR.
