Sincerity in corporate philanthropy - Cuypers, Koh & Wang



Beyond asking "if" companies should engage in philanthropy, the question raised in this podcast is "how" to act so that this philanthropy also has a positive impact on the company.


Anne Monier, researcher at the ESSEC Philanthropy Chair, presents in this episode an article by Ilya Cuypers, Ping-Sheng Koh and Heli Wang published in 2016 in the journal Organization Science: "Sincerity in Corporate Philanthropy, Stakeholder Perceptions and Firm Value"
