- The role of governments in corporate social responsibility: characterising public policies on CSR in Europe (2010, unknown): “…notion of CSR that is concerned with ‘built-in’ triple bottom line management rather than ‘bolt-on’ corporate philanthropy has become increasingly popular - for the (neo-liberal) opponents of CSR this is being done to a threatening degree (Henderson 2001a, b; for further details see section 2).”
- Institutional Logics in the Study of Organizations: The Social Construction of the Relationship between Corporate Social and Financial Performance (2011, unknown): “Drawing on various arguments, Milton Friedman and many other economists (e.g., Devinney, 2009; Levitt, 1958; Reich, 2008) are skeptical about the financial benefits of CSP because economist critics of CSR tend to infuse the definition of CSR with the idea of agency loss (Barnett, 2007: 795–796).”
- Corporate Environmental Responsibility and Firm Performance in the Financial Services Sector (2014, unknown): “…that such investments waste valuable resources and that firms can enhance their CFP by decreasing their investment in CER.6 Still others maintain that firms should invest just enough in CER, not too much and not too little, adjusting CER levels up or down to maximize CFP (Kim and Statman 2012).”
- The Effects of Perceived Corporate Social Responsibility on Employee Attitudes (2014, unknown): “Moreover, by measuring embeddedness of CSR, pitfalls of existing measures can be avoided in which symbolic CSR is measured, thus falsely presenting that an organization is socially responsible (Entine, 2003; Norman & MacDonald, 2004; Reich, 2008).”
- Corporate Environmental Responsibility and Firm Risk (2015, unknown): “Karnani (2012) argues that in circumstances in which financial performance and social welfare are in direct opposition, an appeal to CSR and/or CER is almost always ineffective because senior managers are unlikely to act voluntarily against shareholder interests.”
