Innovative Business Approaches for the Reduction of Extreme Poverty and Marginality (2011, background): “As Blowfield & Frynas (2005) note, “by the time empirical studies started to be commissioned to investigate whether CSR could benefit the poor and marginalized, certain conventions and orthodoxies had already been established” (p.504).”
Financial resource availability and corporate social responsibility expenditures in a sub‐Saharan economy: The institutional difference hypothesis (2013, background): “…promarket reform and lacks adequate mechanisms for social enforcement, and the latter are only beginning to develop effective advocacy strategies (Amao, 2008; Atuguba and Dowuona-Hammond, 2006; Blowfield and Frynas, 2005; Fabig and Boele, 1999; Waddell, 2000; Winston, 2006; World Bank, 2005).”
Sensitive industries produce better ESG performance: Evidence from emerging markets (2017, background): “This is largely due to the relatively large number of papers on the role of business in development, which tend to adopt a normative, critical perspective (Blowfield and Frynas, 2005; Willi et al., 2011).”
Corporate responsibility: Reflections on context and consequences (2009, background): “Further progress in the area of CR outcomes requires that research is extended to cover the social and environmental fields beyond companieds, since the overall effects of corporate responsibility actions on society remain at best 4 (16) fuzzy and blurred (Blowfield and Frynas 2005).”
CSR Institutionalized Myths in Developing Countries (2017, methodology): “The authors also make use in this article of a stream of literature that has started to explore more systematically CSR dynamics in the developing world from a critical perspective (Blowfield & Frynas, 2005; Newell & Frynas, 2007).”
Corporate Social Responsibility in Challenging and Non-enabling Institutional Contexts: Do Institutional Voids matter? (2014, neutral): “…developing economies (Idemudia and Ite 2006; Eweje 2006; Azmat and Samaratunge 2009; Amaeshi et al. 2006; Adegbite et al. 2012, 2013; Adegbite 2014; Blowfield and Frynas 2005; Campbell 2007; Deakin and Whittaker 2007; McWilliams and Siegel 2001; Aguilera et al. 2006, 2007; Doh and Guay 2006;…”
Linking Social Entrepreneurship and Social Change: The Mediating Role of Empowerment (2016, background): “However, a major criticism of enterprise approaches to development is that encouraging entrepreneurship is perceived to be part of the political ideology of capitalism and not in the interests of ‘‘developing countries, the poor or the marginalised’’ (Blowfield and Frynas 2005, p. 510).”
An Institution of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Multi-National Corporations (MNCs): Form and Implications (2012, background): “…seeks to redress the implicit Western bias in CSR research, where scholars challenged the universality of its foundational concepts by demonstrating different conceptualizations in different countries (Blowfield and Frynas, 2005; Prieto-Carron et al., 2006; Scherer et al., 2009; Idemudia, 2011).”
Determinants of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Disclosure in Developed and Developing Countries: A Literature Review (2017, background): “…in ﬂ uences (Perry & Ahmad, 2016) and different levels of economic development (Jamali & Karam, 2016b), and the transferability of CSR frameworks and recipes from developed to developing countries has been questioned for some time (Luetkenhorst, 2004; Blow ﬁ eld & Frynas, 2005; Idemudia, 2011).”
