Relationship between corporate governance, corporate social responsibility, technological capacity and business results of FDI enterprises: A Theoretical Perspective

This study examines the factors affecting the improvement of business results based on agency theory and management theory. To conduct this study, the author uses the method of theoretical synthesis from the authors' articles on the same topic. From there, a research model is proposed, including the factors of corporate social responsibility (CSR), technological capacity, corporate governance, and business results of the enterprise. Among the above factors, most other studies have demonstrated that corporate governance and CSR factors have an impact on the business results of the enterprise. However, the impact and the mechanism still need to be clarified. In addition, the trend of technology application is increasing, so the study considers the factor of technological capacity as a mediation variable and exploits the relationship between these factors (direct and indirect) between corporate governance, social responsibility, and business results. By affirming the capabilities that make up the competitiveness of enterprises, the article affirms the direct impact of technological capabilities on the business results of enterprises. In addition, this theoretical framework is a significant contribution to the literature, from which some managerial implications are also proposed as well as other empirical studies can be deployed to test the model.
