Anti-bribery disclosures: A response to networked governance
研究了两家全球电信公司的反贿赂披露与媒体及NGO活动的关系，发现披露主要用于维持象征性合法性，而非实质性改变问责实践。
This study examined the posited link between networked governance (the activities of NGOs and the media) and the anti-bribery disclosures of two global telecommunication companies. Based on a joint consideration of legitimacy theory, media agenda setting theory and responsive regulation, the findings show that anti-bribery disclosures are positively associated with the activities of the media and NGO initiatives. The findings also show that companies make anti-bribery disclosures to maintain symbolic legitimacy but are less prominent in effecting a substantive change in their accountability practices.
