The future CSR challenges for business firms depend on the country's economy and cultural values. Firms must improvise to implement CSR practices accordingly. Corporations in developing and underdeveloped countries need to evolve their CSR practices from mild to strong sustainable-based views. The challenge is to adopt the correct degree of tradeoffs between the three capitals (planet, people, and profit). To survive and thrive, organizations should leave the traditional economic view, which remains sensitive about the bottom line. Societies are evolving more rapidly due to technological advancements in communication and the internet. The people are more critical to how organizations are conducting their businesses. News from any part of the world becomes global instantly with a click of a button. Vigilance is high from internal and external stakeholders of the company. CSR and its practices have a crucial role in all organizational functions in this dynamic and connected world.

The money transfer internationally has generated a metamorphosis of the world economy under the supremacy of transnational corporations. The inflows of foreign capital into the host countries' economies is considered a solution to the multiple problems faced, especially by developing countries – unemployment, lack of monetary funds, or high-performance technology. The presence of transnational corporations in the economies of the host countries has proved to be not always beneficial for them, as there are significant discrepancies between their interests as economic agents and national interests. For this reason, the attitude of the public authorities towards foreign direct investments has been nuanced, and differentiated financial and fiscal incentives have been established to maximize their positive impact. Over time, specialists have drawn attention to the negative externalities generated by transnational corporations. International organizations like the UN or the OECD are involved in improving the global corporation's workings to promote corporate social responsibility.
