Abstract

The current paper examines how corporate social responsibility (CSR) through three dimensions (social, environmental and governance) could influence technological and non-technological innovations. The study is conducted on a longitudinal dataset of firms listed on the SBF120¹ index between 2005 and 2016. It shows significant associations between CSR performance, particularly social and governance performances, and technological innovations introducing new products. The implementation of new processes is positively and significantly associated with environmental performance. Findings highlight that the three CSR dimensions have significant effects on management innovations. However, they did not influence marketing innovations. Finally, undertaking socially responsible projects does not drive significant changes in R&D strategy, specifically R&D expenditures and the number of hired scientists and experts, but it increases significantly the number of patents.

企业社会责任是否会提高创新能力？来自法国的证据

本文探讨了企业社会责任（CSR）如何通过三个维度（社会、环境和治理）影响技术创新和非技术创新。该研究基于 2005 年至 2016 年 SBF1201 指数上市公司的纵向数据集。研究表明，企业社会责任表现（尤其是社会和治理表现）与引进新产品的技术创新之间存在重大关联。新工艺的实施与环境绩效呈显著正相关。研究结果表明，企业社会责任的三个维度对管理创新有显著影响。但是，它们并不影响营销创新。最后，开展对社会负责的项目并不会显著改变研发战略，特别是研发支出以及聘用科学家和专家的数量，但会显著增加专利数量。

期刊介绍： Creativity and Innovation Management bridges the gap between the theory and practice of organizing imagination and innovation. The journal''s central consideration is how to challenge and facilitate creative potential, and how then to embed this into results-oriented innovative business development. The creativity of individuals, coupled with structured and well-managed innovation projects, creates a sound base from which organizations may operate effectively within their inter-organizational and societal environment. Today, successful operations must go hand in hand with the ability to anticipate future opportunities. Therefore, a cultural focus and inspiring leadership are as crucial to an organization''s success as efficient structural arrangements and support facilities. This is reflected in the journal''s contents: -Leadership for creativity and innovation; the behavioural side of innovation management. -Organizational structures and processes to support creativity and innovation; interconnecting creative and innovative processes. -Creativity, motivation, work environment/creative climate and organizational behaviour, creative and innovative entrepreneurship. -Deliberate development of creative and innovative skills including the use of a variety of tools such as TRIZ or CPS. -Creative professions and personalities; creative products; the relationship between creativity and humour; arts and amp; humanities side of creativity.
