Beschreibung:
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) gained importance over the last years. Yet, only few studies have investigated CSR in German family firms. This study analyzes the CSR communication of 714 listed German family and non-family firms using a content analysis of CSR mission statements.

Non-family firms, in turn, are more likely to describe CSR as part of their corporate strategy
