Résumé

In CSR managerial and academic literature very little attention is paid to the firm competitors. They are not recognized as stakeholders. While fierce global competition drives labor costs down and causes negative environmental impacts, CSR is supposed to prevent the loss of legitimacy due to this global competition. On one hand CSR literature doesn't address competition and on the other hand standard economics theory doesn't deal with CSR or, when it does, it denounces it as hypocritical or as dangerous. This paper aims at exploring the articulation between CSR and competition. We analyze and criticize the business case. We argue that competitive advantage obtained by CSR strategy is an uncertain construct. CSR market is a supply and not a demand driven market. In focusing on demand, we propose a typology of CSR strategies related to competitive situation and a new model of CSR determinants.
