Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand what are the driving factors and focuses of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) implementation by family businesses (Indonesia, Japan, and Thailand). We investigated how three countries differ and alike. By employing qualitative research, we conducted thorough literature review and in-depth interviews with several family businessmen from Indonesia and Japan. The result of the study showed that culture, religion, moral and ethics are the driving factors for family businesses. In Asia, family businesses focus their CSR program on education, community, and the environment. Despite the similarities, each business had their own characteristics which made the difference among the enterprise. In Indonesia, ethics and religion are the major driving factors for CSR implementation. In Japan, Confucian philosophy and ethics are their main reason. In Thailand, Buddhism as it is the foundation of the culture and norms in Thailand apparently become the major driving factor for CSR implementation.
