The telecommunication industry in Ghana has undergone tremendous change over the years
as a result of competition among the players. Telecommunication service providers are
constantly influencing perception of customer, based on the country of origin in order to
influence consumer choice. The study focused on the impact of Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) on firm’s performance in Ghana. The objectives of the study are to
examine some of the Corporate Social Responsibility activities undertaking by the
telecommunication industries in Ghana, to examine the implications of CSR Sales, to
determine the impact of CSR on customer loyalty and to determine the implications of sales
and customer loyalty on firm’s performance. The survey was conducted on a total of 300
respondents out of which 230 responses were received representing 76.67% response rate.
The study collected data using questionnaires. The study adopted convenience and
purposive sampling technique in selecting respondents. The results generally outline some
of the CSR activities firms in the Telecommunication sector carry out. Based on result,
