چکیده

هدف: هدف این مقاله آن است که وضعیت استراتژی های مسئولانه شرکت ها را در صنعت غذایی ایران بررسی کند. روش: با توجه به اینکه مسئله اصلی این پژوهش چندبُعدی است و موضوع مطالعه، ماهیتی پویا دارد، رویکرد کلی آن بر مبنای جریان پارادایم کیفی قرار می گیرد. در این پژوهش با استفاده از روش مطالعه موردی چندگانه اکتشافی در سه شرکت نستله، بل و هلدینگ سینا، وضعیت عناصری همچون درگیری ذی نفعان، سطح یکپارچگی نظام حاکمیت شرکتی با اقدام های مسئولیت اجتماعی و میزان گزارشگری اجتماعی تحلیل شده است و با الهام از مدل مراحل توسعه مسئولیت اجتماعی مولتنی، وضعیت سه شرکت یادشده  بررسی و به صورت تطبیقی مقایسه شده است. یافته ها: بر اساس نتایج، در دو شرکت بین المللی نستله و بل، میزان درگیری ذی نفعان در سطح بالایی است و وضعیت یکپارچگی حاکمیت شرکتی با اقدام های مسئولانه در این دو شرکت، به صورت یکپارچه و درونی سازی شده است و هر دو شرکت در مرحله چیرگی مدل مولتنی قرار دارند که اقدام های مسئولانه در آن، به فرهنگ غالب استراتژی تبدیل شده است؛ اما در هلدینگ سینا، وضعیت درگیری ذی نفعان محدودتر است و مدل یکپارچگی حاکمیت شرکتی با اقدام های مسئولیت اجتماعی، به صورت مشروعیت ابزاری است و در مرحله سیستماتیک قرار دارد. نتیجه گیری: می توان گفت که وضعیت مشابه هلدینگ سینا برای اغلب شرکت های ایرانی، بنا به دلایل و مشکلات مختلف زمینه ای، همچون زمینه های ساختاری، فرهنگی و انگیزشی و... مصداق دارد و در این موقعیت، نیاز جوامع آن است که شرکت ها برای بقای خود و جامعه ای که در آن فعالیت می کنند، سطح خود را به سطح چیرگی مسئولیت اجتماعی ارتقا دهند.

Investigating the Status of Responsible Strategies of Companies in the Iranian Food Industry: A Multi - Case Study

Objective A growing number of businesses develop their corporate social responsibility in response to various social, environmental, and economic pressures. Responsible practice is problematic since businesses usually employ many disparate responsible plans and initiatives instead of a comprehensive corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy. It is thus crucial that companies carefully integrate CSR into their corporate strategies. This article intended to examine the integration of CSR strategies in three food companies in Iran, namely Nestle, Bell, and Sina Food Holding.   Methodology The research used a qualitative methodology to address the multidimensional and dynamic nature of the topic. An exploratory multiple case study was used to analyze Nestle, Bel, and Sina Holdings in terms of stakeholder engagement, the level of integration of corporate governance with social responsibility measures, and the level of social reporting. To compare and identify the level of integration of CSR strategies in the three companies, the study employed Molteni’s proposed model for the development of CSR in the corporate strategy, which consists of five stages: informal and defensive CSR, charitable CSR, systemic CSR, innovative CSR, and dominant CSR.   Findings The results showed that multinational companies such as Nestle and Bell possess a high level of stakeholder engagement as well as an integrated and internalized level of integration of corporate governance with responsible measures, so such companies are at the dominant stage of Molteni’s model, with responsible measures becoming a dominant culture of corporate strategy. However, the level of stakeholder engagement was more limited in the case of Sina Food Holding, where the integration of corporate governance with social responsibility measures could be modeled as the instrumental legitimacy. Therefore, Sina Food Holding was found to be at the systemic stage of Molteni’s model. In fact, despite Sina Holding’s philosophy of elimination of deprivation in the field of management and governance, there is no alignment between its strategies and its social initiatives, as well as between the internal integration of the governance system with the company's social responsibility measures. Especially at the level of subsidiaries, the discussion of corporate social responsibility is limited to charities and the concepts of classical social responsibility.   Conclusion Many companies are considering responsible strategies as a substantial component of their overall business strategy, along with the traditional functions such as marketing, branding, research and development, innovation, and operations. Many Iranian companies experience a situation similar to that of Sina Food Holding owing to various reasons and challenges, be they structural, cultural, motivational, etc. In this situation, if companies seek their own survival and that of the society, they must raise their status to the dominant stage of social responsibility. Compared to Sina Food Holding, the international context of Nestlé and Bell and their social awareness are among the important elements observed in developing responsible and social goals.
