Abstract: Over the last decades, corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become a prominent topic area in management and organisation studies. More recently, in line with the more general “practice turn” in management research, CSR scholars have developed an interest in the day-to-day doings that constitute CSR as a social practice. Such research focuses on the micro-level dynamics in CSR by paying close attention to how CSR is exercised and realised in situ. In this entry, we provide a systematic overview of different practice approaches to the study of CSR, including Strategy-as-Practice (SAP) perspectives. Considering CSR from an SAP perspective is useful, as it allows to shed light on strategising activities that are not immediately targeted at enhancing firms’ (financial) performance but that aim at contributing to the social good, as well.
