    A Comparative Study of Corporate Social Responsibility in the Developed and Developing Countries
    (2011) Welmilla, I.; Armstrong, A.; Heenatigala, K.; Tilakasiri, K.
    This exploratory study examines the theoretical and practical comparison of the concept of CSR between the developed and developing countries with CSR definitions, frameworks and concepts being considered. In reviewing CSR literature on developed and developing world specially this study concerned the CSR practices and theoretical understanding between the two world. However, it is argued that the business and society in these countries have been rather misrepresented in their historical perceptions of CSR, and are now being misrepresented as having intentions other than philanthropic. To understand the CSR benefits, measurements and definitions also add to the concept of CSR. However, the major limitation of the study is that there is a dearth of research in CSR in the developing world which is still in its primary stage.

    Impact of work-family interface on family involvement in business: a review
    (Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2016) Ediriweera, A.; Armstrong, A.; Heenetigala, K.
    This study aims at conducting a thorough literature review to explore and outline how business and family interface issues are tackled in family business research. A total of 76 family business articles with relation to work-family interface were identified in the selected journals between year 2000 and 2014. Our study demonstrates that most of the studies give no information on the work- family interface. The articles were then categorized based on the identified ‘research strategies’ with different emphasis on business and family interface issues. The findings demonstrate the facets of work-family interface and their relevance into the family business, and its decision-making processes. It is argued that family business research needs theoretical upgrades by focusing primarily on work- family interface.
