This thesis will explore the effect of corporations’ internationalization upon their governance and social responsibility. This is the first time to use the corporate governance variable in the corporate social responsibility index (CSRI). This thesis uses data from the years 2005 to 2010 and panel data research in conjunction with the Hausman test. There are three major research purposes in this essay. The first is to examine why corporate governance has proved to be unrelated to internationalization, using the random-effect model from the Hausman test, possible reason include the law, international standards which limit the development of corporations, and the existing need for corporate governance even before internationalization. The second purpose is to examine whether internationalization variables, such as foreign sales as a percentage of total sales and foreign assets as a percentage of total assets have a significant effect on three aspect indexes of corporate social responsibility, using the fixed-effect model. These three aspect indexes are the economic variable, the social variable and the environment variable. The third purpose is to examine the considerable influence of internationalization on four aspect indexes of comprehensive corporate social responsibility, with the fourth aspect index being the corporate governance variables, also using the random-effect model.
