The purpose of this research focuses on examining the consumers' perception towards corporate social responsibility (CSR) in a developing country via the case of Vietnam. This study was conducted by face‐to‐face interview, and the questionnaire was mailed directly to consumers who are living in the urban and rural areas in Vietnam. The findings of this research are to clarify consumers' perception of CSR issues in Vietnam based on four dimensions of the CSR definition by Carroll in 1991. Therefore, the results are useful for future researchers about CSR and consumers' perception in a developing country. Although, there have been some previous studies about consumers' perception in both developed and developing countries have been chosen. However, this study has applied Carroll's definition with other approach and compared it with other articles that aim to fill this knowledge gap in Vietnam because Vietnam can represent other developing countries nowadays; besides, those results allow enterprises to understand Vietnamese consumers' perception better.
