Abstract:
Despite the scholarly enthusiasm, most previous studies have explored corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its performance implications within the context of large mature firms, while ignoring CSR implications for young entrepreneurial firms. By drawing on the insights from stakeholder theory and business model we develop theoretical arguments that justify shared value creation by entrepreneurial ventures.
