- Description: This empirical research examines the relationship between corporate social performance outcome (CSPO) and corporate financial performance outcome (CFPO) in 85 Australian corporations as perceived by their managers. The correlation analysis of the data shows a positive, but low magnitude relationship between CSPO and CFPO. Based on our finding, we argue that the notion of enlightened self-interest is defunct and recommend stringent government policies and increased community pressure for making corporations more socially responsible.

- Description: Identifying three kinds of organizational learning capabilities in line with triple bottom line principles such as i) corporate environmental responsibility, ii) corporate social responsibility, and iii) corporate financial responsibility, this study examines the findings of the ANOVA analysis with business sector as the independent variable. It finds that the Australian resource sector is in the forefront in learning capabilities in corporate environmental responsibility and corporate financial responsibility. In the light of this finding and drawing from earlier empirical studies, it explores a theoretical question whether learning capabilities are transferable rather than bound to specific areas. It dwells into a proposal that a capable learning organization can achieve continuous innovation and improvements in several functional areas by deploying its strength in learning capabilities.
