Abstract

This chapter provides an initial conceptualization of virtual social corporate responsibility (CSR) dialog and a preliminary examination of global firms’ Twitter CSR communications. Combining Web 2.0 and customer engagement, virtual CSR dialog could be a powerful tool to establish participative and collaborative relationships between the firm and its clients. However, our analysis of 8 global firms’ Twitter CSR accounts reveals that the level of firm–customer interactions is extremely low, while the level of customer–customer interactions is relatively active.
