Establishment and Measurement of the Evaluation System of the Level of Corporate Science and Technology for Social Good in China
As a business guideline to guide enterprises to co-exist with society and enhance users'value and social welfare,corporate science and technology for social good has received wide attention from theoretical and practical circles.However,extant studies have not yet systematically established a comprehensive index system to evaluate the level of corporate science and technology for social good in China.The study establishes an evaluation system on the basis of three dimensions of corporate concept and culture for social good,corporate practice for social good,and corporate governance system for social good,and uses the entropy method to measure the level of corporate science and technology for social good in China.The results show that the overall trend of the index of corporate science and technology for social good in China is on the rise.Its evolution can be divided into the initial budding stage,the consensus formation stage and the rapid development stage,which is mainly due to the synergistic effect of the aforementioned three dimensions.Moreover,the index of corporate science and technology for social good in China shows enterprise heterogeneity and industry heterogeneity,which is potentially related to the variability of resource endowment among enterprises and the different intensity of environmental,social and governance management among industries.
