Why would corporations behave in socially responsible ways? an institutional theory of corporate social responsibility
提出一种制度理论，阐述公共与私人监管、非政府组织监督、制度化规范、企业间联合行为及利益相关者对话等制度条件如何调节经济因素与企业社会责任行为之间的关系。
I offer an institutional theory of corporate social responsibility consisting of a series of propositions specifying the conditions under which corporations are likely to behave in socially responsible ways. I argue that the relationship between basic economic conditions and corporate behavior is mediated by several institutional conditions: public and private regulation, the presence of nongovernmental and other independent organizations that monitor corporate behavior, institutionalized norms regarding appropriate corporate behavior, associative behavior among corporations themselves, and organized dialogues among corporations and their stakeholders.
