Abstract: Abstract Turkey is an exciting hub between Europe and Asia. How do transnational companies influence social change in Turkey, and how does social change in Turkey affect business organizations? After some general considerations about theories of social change, the shifting weight and role of transnational business in Turkey is sketched out. Based on this, the example of Corporate Social Responsibility is taken in order to analyze the strategies and structure of its diffusion in transnational companies in Turkey. Based on secondary analysis of existing studies, it is shown that general CRS recipes are adapted to and mixed with native culture and traditions in a way that there is an impact of CSR on social change in Turkey and, at the same time, CSR concepts and practices change while being introduced into the Turkish context.
