Abstract:	This dissertation explores corporate philanthropy as a managerial phenomenon between business and societal demands and was developed by Moritz Motyka at the Chair of Business Administration, Public & Nonprofit Management of Professor Dr. Helmig at the University of Mannheim Business School. In three scientific studies, the author examines strategies of corporate philanthropy, characterizes data philanthropy as a novel phenomenon in the field, and analyzes associated processes at the individual level from the theoretical-conceptual perspective of cognitive dissonance. The work contributes to critical studies on corporate philanthropy as well as to research on the role of corporations in society.
