Description:

This literature review article aims to facilitate a better understanding of the concept of
strategic
philanthropy as a controversial topic at the crossroads of business and society. The
strategic role of corporate
philanthropy has been emphasised by both academics and practitioners and is a topic of long-standing discussion as is the original concept of corporate
philanthropy. This article summarises the different definitions, approaches and categorisations that have been adopted by management scholars working in the field of corporate
philanthropy and published in the top academic journals. Four main lines of inquiry were distinguished within the literature: the evolution and essence of
strategic
philanthropy, theoretical foundations of
strategic
philanthropy, empirical foundations of
strategic
philanthropy and the measurement of the impact of
strategic
philanthropy. The results show that the concept of
strategic
philanthropy is still evolving and different approaches to define and theorise it can be found. The implications for further research are provided at the end of the article.

Your submission must include the following information in the following format:

DEFINITION: a brief definition of the key term followed by the APA reference for the term; this does not count in the word requirement.

SUMMARY: Summarize the article in your own words- this should be in the 150-200 word range. Be sure to note the article’s author, note their credentials and why we should put any weight behind his/her opinions, research or findings regarding the key term.

DISCUSSION: Using 300-350 words, write a brief discussion, in your own words of how the article relates to the selected chapter Key Term. A discussion is not rehashing what was already stated in the article, but the opportunity for you to add value by sharing your experiences, thoughts and opinions. This is the most important part of the assignment.

Be sure to use the headers in your submission to ensure that all aspects of the assignment are completed as required. Any form of plagiarism, including cutting and pasting, will result in zero points for the entire assignment
