This study focuses on corporate social responsibility from a management perspective. The study
had the following objectives - to investigate the level of adoption of CSR by companies in
Botswana; to find out why companies in Botswana have embraced CSR; to investigate the views
of governments, pressure groups and stakeholders on companies which have embraced CSR in
their communities; and to recommend to company management and stakeholders on how best
they can use CSR to their best advantage.
A Positivist (quantitative) strategy was used to execute this study and data capture was done
through the use of a structured questionnaire. This instrument was issued to 100 members of
management from companies based near Mahalapye and Gaborone. The response rate was 88%.
The key findings were that many companies have CSR policies at their workplaces but they are
not yet fully functional. Many companies have also embraced CSR for political mileage reasons
only and to appear to be environmentally conscious. / Thesis (MBA) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2013
