[item title="Short Abstract"]

This research examines the social and cultural issues in corporate digital responsibility (CDR). Based on data to be collected from staff of telecommunications companies in both Nigeria and Germany, this research investigates the influence of firms’ business models on their practice of corporate digital responsibility, how firms’ internal incentive structures impede or promote the implementation of sound corporate digital responsibility, the social and cultural barriers that impede the implementation of sound corporate digital responsibility, the roles played by data protection and regulatory agencies, and how do these influence firms’ approach to CDR. This research also investigates consumers’ evaluation of CDR, as well as the extent to which socio-demographic variables influence consumers’ attitudes to CDR. Primary data to be collected   from   respondents   (telecoms   employees   and   consumers),   and   secondary   data   from   annual reports, ethics statements, news articles, and regulatory records will facilitate answers to the research questions, making it possible to also identify cross-country differences in approaches to CDR.
