  This study explores how corporate social responsibility (CSR) of a partner in alliances shapes the governance choice between an equity and non-equity structure. Conceptually, we propose that CSR of a partner, by serving as a proxy for trust, can trigger a trust building process wherein CSR helps the responsible partner earn trust from the other and the responsible partner then reciprocates with trust in the other. This process lifts mutual trust between partners and, in turn, reduces reliance on equity governance. Empirical evidence strongly supports that a partner’s CSR significantly lowers the likelihood of an equity structure for an alliance. This negative effect is augmented when the partners have richer past collaboration experience, is weakened but not reversed when they come from dissimilar industries, and remains stable whether they have different nationalities. This study extends the knowledge on the determinants of alliance governance, the strategic benefits of CSR, and the sources of interorganizational trust.
