Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Asia (2005, background): “…has compared national systems of CSR (but see also Langlois & Schlegelmilch, 1990; Maignon & Ralston, 2002; Matten & Moon, 2004; Rossouw, 2005; Ryan, 2005; van Tulder & Kolk, 2001; Wieland, 2005), and even less has been comparative within Asia (but see Ramasamy & Woan Ting, 2004; Welford, 2004).”
Perspectives on multinational enterprises in emerging economies (2004, background): “(Spar, 1998) Over the past decade many MNEs have reacted by introducing corporate codes of conduct (Varley et al., 1998; van Tulder and Kolk, 2001), and by joining new non-governmental systems of labour standards and monitoring (O'Rourke, 2003).”
Harmonization in CSR Reporting (2011, background): “Drawing on stakeholder theory, Van der Laan Smith et al. (2005) argue that institutional differences between countries (particularly differences in corporate governance systems and ownership structure) affect how the role of a firm and its stakeholders is defined in each country.”
Input and output legitimacy of multi-stakeholder initiatives (2012, background): “Independence is the key to show that there is no cheating or window-dressing (as second-party monitoring is paid for, it provides less independence than third-party) (Fransen & Kolk, 2007; van Tulder & Kolk, 2001).”
Suppliers’ Compliance with MNCs’ Codes of Conduct: Behind the Scenes at Chinese Toy Suppliers (2007, background): “Additional research streams include analyses of drivers of corporate adoption of codes (e.g. Weaver, 1993; Diller, 1999; van Tulder and Kolk, 2001; Roberts, 2003; Bondy et al., 2004), and analyses of changes induced by the adoption of codes (e.g. Cassell et al., 1997; Cowton and Thompson, 2000;…”
Investing Up: FDI and the Cross-Country Diffusion of ISO 14001 Management Systems (2007, background): “Second, given that home (country-of-origin) practices shape MNEs’ activities (Porter 1990; Sethi and Elango 1999; Van Tulder and Kolk 2001) and these differ across home countries (Pauly and Reich 1997), FDI may create divergence by transferring varying home country practices to host countries.”
An evolutionary approach to understanding international business activity: The co-evolution of MNEs and the institutional environment (2010, unknown): “At one end is private self-regulation, where MNEs create and enforce the criteria that are applied to assess their own conduct (Kolk & van Tulder, 2002; van Tulder & Kolk, 2001).”
Private Regulation and Trade Union Rights: Why Codes of Conduct Have Limited Impact on Trade Union Rights (2014, background): “This is shown by the fact that the most common reason for companies to adopt codes of conduct is that such codes represent a way to restore and/or improve corporate legitimacy/trust/reputation/image/brand (e.g., Bartley 2007; van Tulder and Kolk 2001).”
