analysis for the hotel and the restaurant industry shows a positive impact of positive CSR activities (and no significant impact of negative CSR activities) on firm value measured by PER and Tobin's Q, while it does not reveal any significant impact of positive and negative CSR on profitability. In contrast, for the airline industry, the study found the existence of a negative impact of positive CSR activities (and no significant impact of negative CSR activities) on profitability; whereas, negative CSR activities have a negative impact (and no significant impact of positive CSR activities) on firm value. These findings can contribute to managements’ strategic decision-making for implementing CSR by providing evidence that CSR is helpful in enhancing firm value through increasing socially responsible activities (for hotels and restaurants) or decreasing socially irresponsible activities (for airlines). According to the results, in the casino industry, no particular relationship seems to exist between CSR activity and financial performance. The findings of positive impact of positive CSR and no effect of negative CSR on firm value in the hotel industry supports the positivity effect while the presence of negative impact of negative CSR (and no significant impact of positive CSR) on firm value for airlines supports the negativity effect. In addition, a negative impact of positive CSR on ROA of airlines, found in this study, may imply a case in which CSR is a detriment to short-term profit maximization. This implication supports Friedman's (1970) caution that all business resources should be designed and used to increase profit.
