Outline of Research at the Start

The project investigates how to develop Asian value-oriented inclusive leadership by employing the idea of the Varieties of Capitalism (VoC) and its link to corporate social responsibility (CSR) dynamics in Asia. It will critically compare capitalism and CSR phenomenon between the U.S. and Asia (Japan, South Korea and China).

Outline of Final Research Achievements

The project aims to investigate how to develop Asian value-oriented inclusive leadership by employing the idea of the Varieties of Capitalism (VoC) and its link to corporate social responsibility (CSR) dynamics in Asia. The goal of this exploratory stage was to find the answers on research questions regarding Asian VoC contexts and CSR dynamics. During this period, I carried out extensive interviews with CEOs in Japan, Korea and India in order to secure an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon. The point of departure for this stage is to identify the Asian-unique inclusive leadership approach and current CSR phenomenon in Asia.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

I've published the findings of the project in Business Ethics, the Environment & Responsibility under the title of “Rethinking corporate social responsibility under contemporary capitalism: Five ways to reinvent CSR.” Furthermore, I presented the outcomes in several academic conferences.
