Perceptions of corporate social responsibility by Bangladeshi managers : an exploratory study

This paper contributes to addressing the paucity of works on corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Bangladesh by reporting on the findings of an exploratory study conducted in Dhaka in 2009 for the purpose of examining the views of a group of Bangladeshi managers from various sectors in relation to CSR. The findings revealed a significant level of awareness among the participants about CSR-related concepts and practices. They also showed awareness of the barriers that prevent a more widespread adoption of CSR in Bangladesh.
