I like this article but I feel as though it keeps saying for small businesses and I think they really apply to all businesses big or small in some capacity. Honestly these could be broken down even further into the 3 pillars of CSR we talked about is Les Smiths class. This article talks about developing countries and how they contribute to being socially responsible and in some cases like environmentally they are actually further ahead than most developed nations. With the BRICS up and coming I look forward to seeing what these countries are going to contribute and how they are going to treat the world around them and their people because I sense they have greatly different values than most of the western world. This article doesn't specify what places they were talking about just developing countries and I feel if they wanted to publish a more normative paper they should be a little more specific.

The 8 absent themes from CSR in developing regions this article talks about are fairly interesting. The 8 being Gender, Race and Racism, The Informal Economy, Family Business, Other Stakeholders, Organizational Impact, Implementation, and Sector-Based Analysis. Race and Racism is the one I have to say I was most surprised by as that is something business's do not deal with even if CSR is not very well established. The article states it as a "fundamental" issue and I suppose I can see why. As humans we judge every single person we ever meet and are constantly judging others, in my opinion it is one of the biggest weaknesses we as people have. This Article also states that South Africa is especially bad for this. I was doing some research and came across a web page talking about a H&M that was selling a racist hoodie in its store and was completely ripped apart by people (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-42675665). H&M is a very large retailer and if this is happening in South Africa I can see how this major CSR theme could definitely be missing in other developing countries.
