Abstract

The enterprises’ innovation and its fulfillment of social responsibility have increasingly become the focus of public attention. Based on observations of 2234 listed companies in China from 2009 to 2015, this paper analyzes the above relationship and the impacts of ownership structure on this relationship. Additionally, we analyze the impacts of ownership structure from two aspects: ownership concentration and ownership type. The following conclusions are drawn: First, there is a significant positive correlation between corporate R&D investment and social responsibility performance. Second, regarding this positive impact is more obvious for Non-state-owned listed companies than state-owned listed companies. Third, regarding this positive impact is more obvious for companies with low ownership concentration than companies with high concentration.
