Abstract

This research paper examines how the National and International companies manage Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Bangladesh. It considers how the concept has come to be framed within business in Bangladesh, which is increasingly globalized. In looking at how CSR practices are being adopted and adapted by National and International companies in Bangladesh, we can begin to see what implications arise from the fact that CSR is a Western-led concept and Bangladesh can be thought to be lagging behind in its understanding and adoption of CSR as companies do not necessarily state their policies in such a formal extent that is expected. The study comprises the impact of CSR of the National and International corporations on the basis of Carroll’s pyramid. In this study we have considered two companies for making comparisons; one is SQUARE Bangladesh Ltd. as the national company and another is Unilever Bangladesh Ltd. as the multinational company.
