CHAPTER ONE
1.1 BACKGROUND TO STUDY
It is becoming increasing apparent that organizations in the telecommunication industry are constantly looking for new strategies to gain a positional advantage over their competitors’ in order to increase their customer base
and enhance their financial performance. One of these strategies is the adoption
of corporate social responsibility practices. Mohr, Webb and Harris (2001) describe
corporate social responsibility as a firm’s commitment to minimize or eliminating
any harmful influence and maximizing its long- run beneficial impact on society.
For example, one could observe that in recent times MTNNigeria and other
telecommunication industry are embarking on a number of social intervention
programmes in area of health, education, and general community
development. This concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) which has
long been established in academic literature as both a business philosophy and
practice is seemingly much more prevalent, timely and important in this millennium,
as firms attempt to be seen as being sustainable or socially responsible in nature
due to demands of target stakeholders. The stakeholders are requesting that firms act
responsibly and behave ethically and are therefore, expected to respond to the
changing beliefs and values of the target audiences.
There were several researches on corporate social responsibility;
however, majority of such researches concentrated on financial performance,
consumer behavior and effects on environment. For example, Stanwick and Stanwick,
Mc William and Siegel and others have studied the effect of corporate social responsibility on financial performance. Financial performance may be defined as the results of a firms policies and operations in monetary terms. These results are
reflected in the firm’s return on investment, return on assets, net profit margin, and
return on equity e.t.c. Most of these surveys however, were base on
international data and in context of developed markets with contradictory finding.
For example, while Mc Williams and Siegel in their analysis of extant literature
argued that there been mixed results of the financial impact of CSR on short and
long – run profitability on the organization.
Berrone, Surroca and Tribo and Orlitzky,Schinidt and Rynes held that
CSR practices enhance overall profitability of firms. Determine how CSR and financial
are connected is also complicated by the lack of consensus of measurement
methodology as it relates to corporate social performance. From the above, there is
a lack of consensus in the literature with regards to the effect of corporate social
responsibility on financial performance. And since most of the studies were based on
international data, this research seeks to contribute to the existing body of
knowledge in the area by examining the impacts of adaptation of corporate social
responsibility on financial performance in the Nigerian context, using the experiences
of MTN Nigerian Limited and finally identifies opportunities for further research in this
