Abstract

CSR implementation reveals a variety of knowledge gaps in our field of research, especially related to well contextualized and in-depth analysis of the phenomenon. We have examined CSR implementation practices in Belgian organizations. The contribution of this research is obtained through triangulation of research methods and the analysis of the results of three distinct studies. In a first study, we have performed an explorative research with Belgian CSR managers. Next to this, we have conducted in-depth interviews in both private and public organizations. We have investigated to what extent different stakeholders are being involved in implementing corporate social activities (CSAs). Results show that the level of CSR manager involvement is quite divergent, depending on the specific CSA under concern and on the need for CSR expertise. The second and third study point was at the limited structured involvement of other internal and external stakeholders in the context of CSR implementation, in both private and public organizations.
