Abstract

For producing abroad, multinational firms tend to prefer non-equity forms of investment rather than equity forms. One can ask whether one MNE has to own an entity abroad to be socially responsible. The research produces two case studies to highlight the question raised before: Fila, and Tesco. In such cases of control through other modes of influence than asset ownership, and since residual rights of control are difficult to appreciate, MNCs may be tempted to reject corporate social responsibility (CSR). From then on, CSR may be obtained through pressures exerted on corporations by stakeholders or by the way of laws.
