Sumod, S D
Extant literature acknowledges the role of corporate social responsibility engagement and
sustainability practices on the financial success of business enterprises. Consequently many studies also examine the various drivers of CSR engagement- the process through which firms identify activities to fulfil their social and environmental commitments, allocate resources and execute them. One of the major drivers of firm level CSR engagement is identified by current literature is the board of directors. Studies that explore the relationship between corporate boards and CSR engagement of firms have been mainly conducted in developed markets using the perspective of Agency theory. However, in recent years, corporate social responsibility has emerged as a significant differentiator of firms even in emerging markets. Yet, studies that investigate Board-CSR engagement dynamics in emerging markets are limited. Moreover, this relationship is not explored comprehensively from a resource dependence perspective which some scholars consider as a better theory to explain the workings of corporate boards and their impact on firm outcomes in emerging markets. This thesis attempts to address the research gap by studying corporate boards- corporate social responsibility engagement relationship from a resource dependence perspective in emerging markets...

Sreevas, S
The phenomenon of social entrepreneurship, defined as an entrepreneurial activity with the explicit objective to address societal issues, has attracted the attention of policy-makers and practitioners around the world. There has been a significant growth in the number of social enterprises around the world. Despite growing interest in the phenomena, academic research is still at a stage of infancy. While the prominence of social enterprises varies across countries, we know very little about how the national institutions of countries influence social enterprises. Recent literature calls for research to understand how institutional context in a country supports or discourages individual investment of resources towards starting a social enterprise...

Mukundhan, K V
This thesis investigates the role of mimetic influences in the FDI-based market entry mode decisions of emerging market firms (EMFs). Drawing upon inter-organizational imitation literature and anecdotal evidence from internationalization experiences of Indian firms, this thesis seeks to explain the determinants of ownership decision, which distinguishes the choice between a joint venture (JV) and a wholly owned subsidiary (WOS). The internationalization of EMFs has challenged the sufficiency of extant theories to explain the emerging patterns of international activity. The dominant perspectives in entry mode research, such as the transaction costs perspective and Dunning’s OLI paradigm, have come under criticism from researchers who recommend integrating efficiency considerations with behavioural and strategic considerations. Recent attempts to capture the role of formal and informal institutions on entry mode choice have been criticized of having marginal and unsubstantiated impact. This study responds to calls for context-specific theory building by providing a complementary explanation to an EMF’s choice of FDI-based market entry modes.

Pradeep Kumar Hota
Social enterprises (SEs) primarily aim to create social value i.e. generate benefits or reduce costs for society, while maintaining financial sustainability. They typically step in when both the government and private sector fail to address social problems, a market failure condition. In order to address such problems, SEs need to mobilize the required resources. However, such a market failure situation may lead to an acute shortage of resources, posing serious challenges for the operation of SEs. Further, SE in emerging economies faces even greater challenges for resource mobilization owing to the large-scale demand for social entrepreneurship activities, when facing scarcity of institutional financing and growing suspicion about the activities of social organizations...
