Abstract	:	A major problem in community-company relations in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria is stakeholder involvement and the apparent lack of understanding of the perceptions of community members of their roles in corporate social strategy. Community protests against transnational corporations in the late 1990s, disrupted crude oil production in the Niger Delta and caused transnational oil corporations significant property damage, and financial losses. The qualitative ethnographic study conducted was intended to explore the perceived roles of community members in corporate social strategy and understand the factors that influenced their perceptions. The findings of a sample of 20 Niger Delta inhabitants suggest that participants perceive corporate social strategy through the lens of underdevelopment and its implications for their social and economic wellbeing. The findings also suggest that corporations operating in rural communities in developing nations are perceived to have greater roles in social strategy and sustainable development. The study adds a rural community perspective to the larger discourse on corporate social responsibility and provides an understanding of the roles of rural communities in corporate social strategy that could enhance community-company relations. The major findings of the study were conceptualized in order to present a three-stage corporate social strategic partnership (CSSP) model to guide the formulation of strategic partnerships in rural communities.
