Corporate Social Responsibility in Management Research: Focus, Nature, Salience and Sources of Influence*
通过分析1992至2002年管理期刊中企业社会责任研究的发表与引用数据，揭示了该领域的研究热点（环境与伦理）、实证方法偏好（定量为主）、理论性质（非规范性为主）以及知识来源（管理文献自身）。
abstract In this paper we investigate the status of corporate social responsibility (CSR) research within the management literature. In particular, we examine the focus and nature of knowledge, the changing salience of this knowledge and the academic influences on the knowledge. We present empirical evidence based on publication and citation analyses of research published from 1992 to 2002. Our results demonstrate that, for CSR research published in management journals, the most popular issues investigated have been environmental and ethics; the empirical research has been overwhelmingly of a quantitative nature; the theoretical research has been primarily non‐normative; the field is driven by agendas in the business environment as well as by continuing scientific engagement; and the single most important source of references for CSR articles was the management literature itself.
