From the view of CSR, the paper integrates the process of social, organizational, and individual factors influencing the virtual operation strategy in primary and mature development stages of a company. In the research process, the theoretical facts of CSR's individual level merging and displaying the social level,organizational level and individual level are considered as the main dimension to directly influence strategy. So, the influencing factors and mechanism are composed of the vivid qualitative model and its factor model, the mathematical idea of spatial vector is utilized and the effect path function is formulated to identify the effect process. Finally, the qualitative model and quantitative model offer a theoretical framework for potential large sample empirical research in the future. The conclusion lays a theoretical foundation for further research of the related issues about CSR and virtual operation strategy.
