RT Article T1 Strategic Direction of Corporate Community Involvement JF Journal of business ethics VO 115 IS 3 SP 469 OP 487 A1 Liu, Gordon A1 Eng, Teck-Yong A1 Ko, Wai-Wai LA English PB Springer Science + Business Media B. V YR 2013 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/178564808X AB Previous research on corporate community involvement (CCI) initiatives indicates that such behaviour is critical for building neighbourhood relationships and extending corporate influence in the community, but there is little theoretical work that provides a clear picture of managing the nature of the initiatives from different stakeholder management approaches. Drawing from theoretical insights of stakeholder theory and the concept of social capital, this article proposes nine strategic directions for CCI initiatives, and concludes by discussing the management implications of the proposed strategic directions. Our proposed approaches have the potential to improve current understanding and practice of corporations and their CCI initiatives.
