Abstract
This study examined the orientation toward corporate social responsibility (CSR) of 165 U.S. and 157 Hong Kong business students. Although respondents from both countries viewed CSR as a construct in much the same way, many differences were found in the types of responsibilities considered most important. Specifically, Hong Kong students gave economic responsibilities more weight and non economic responsibilities less weight than did U.S. students.
