INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Corporate Social Responsibility increases in importance, especially in
the case of Supply-Chain Management. This is proving in the rising
competitiveness between entire supply-chains, as a competitive shift
from individual companies to supply-chains as existence is taking
place. Hence, the entire supply-chain becomes more crucial in the
creation of a competitive advantage.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) attuned one chance to work
towards sustainable development in business. It has increased in
significant, both in academia and business (Campbell, 2007) and has
been debt extensively by many authors from a variety of perspectives.
Today, a shift is taking place from inter-firm to inter-supply-chain
competition (Hult et al., 2007). This shift is receiving increasing
attention from corporate management (Christopher, 2005).
Supply chain management is an region of increasing strategic
importance due to global competition, outsourcing of nonessential
activities to developing countries, short product life cycle, and time
sequences in all features of the supply chain (Skjtt-Larsen et al.,

understand the logic and the business case for CSR they can in turn
start promoting CSR. The continuous improvement philosophy is part of
this approach. A prerequisite is building long term close relationships
with suppliers [30].

Methodology
3.1 Introduction
This chapter presents an overview of the research methods conducted
to get the information. It will involve: the presentation of the
theoretical framework, selection of the population and sample design,
presentation of data collection methods, and data analysis method
3.2Theoretical Framework
It is important to discuss and clarify the theoretical framework of the
research because it can help in developing hypotheses and in
determining the testing needed to approve the concerned relationship
of the study (Sekaran, 2003).
For this research, corporate social responsibility is treated as the
independent variable. Supply chain, on the other hand, is treated as
the dependent variable (which will be measured in this study; and it
will be affected during the study). The following figure shows the

has been used to assess the validity. K-M-O used to measure sampling
adequacy and the correlation between variables. To consider that
measure valid, K-M-O value is wanted to be over 60% (Nkosi, 2015). In
addition, to ensure content validity, the items selected to measure the
study variables were primarily derived and adapted from a similar
questionnaire used in existing literature.

This section will discuss the methods used to analyze the data that
have been collected to test the study hypotheses.
Statistical package for social science (SPSS) was used to analyze the
data. For descriptive analysis, percentages and frequencies were used
demographic description. Mean and standard deviation were used to
describe respondent's attitude toward the variables, dimensions and
items of the study. Then, regression analysis was used to test study
hypotheses.
