Your selected articles should discuss some aspects of the cultural theoretical approaches discussed in the course, as they relate to the concept of CSR in a global world. Address implementation of CSR principles within the organization and the external factors that determine the context of CSR policies. Ensure that your selected articles reflect a blend of research that has contributed to the generation of applicable theories as well as a critique and affirmation of the specific theories.

1. Develop      an introduction on the background of each cultural theory, the concept of      CSR, and the purpose of the literature review.
2. Analyze      all articles and describe the key themes that emerge across the seven      selected articles.
3. Synthesize      the material and summarize the patterns of similarities and differences      regarding how each of the authors has presented each theme.
4. Based      on your analysis of the literature, conclude by evaluating the impact of      each cultural model on the application of the CSR in current global      business operations. Refer to the internal and external factors that      determine the successful implementation of CSR policies.
