Resumo
There is currently no consensually framed definition of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
which tends to change according to time and culture. Besides, it can be stated that firms, while
engaging in economic activities in order to make a profit, aim to meet public demand. Having
priorly an altruistic and paternalistic appearance, CSR today encompasses diverse areas such as
the environment, human and workers’ rights, work ethics and corporate management along with
different actors such as capital, state and public. While corporations act with the goal of social
responsibility, developing and implementing various social projects to benefit not only their
share holders but also public stakeholders, they are mostly perceived to engage in “window
dressing”, or making a “PR exercise”.
As Peter Frankental states, those corporations that usually deny and do not accept
responsibility for the damage they cause during their operations, end up being a part of crisis
management, news management and public relations.
The aim of this study is to analyze the social responsibility projects of the firms operating in
the mobile communications sector in Turkey and to put forward within the criteria set by Peter
Frankental if the CSR realized in this sector is a PR invention.
