- Abstract
- This paper presents the analysis of the effect of three motivational factors–voluntary duty, bureaucracy and consumers’ participation on corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities in a multi-period supply chain network (SCN). Following the Cruz’s (2009) analysis on SCN system, the optimal output level and the CSR activities in two-tier model consisting of manufacturer, retailer and consumer with motivation or incentive, might regularize the ‘production-CSR activity’ operation. This paper provides an extension of Cruz’s (2009) model in SCN to compute the equilibrium pattern of product outputs, transactions, prices and level of CSR activities in a multi-period time frame. The result shows that the different range level (negative or positive) of CSR activity has an effect on bureaucratic performance and willingness in different time periods.
