Abstract

In today’s volatile and continually changing business environment, firms strive to improve their performance and reinforce their position in a business environment. However, this improvement cannot be done easily. In other words, the strength and the interconnectedness among the environmental forces hinder the firms’ ability to take appropriate steps to achieve better performance. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature and the associations among corporate social responsibility, transformational leadership, and firm performance.
