The Social Responsibility of International Business: From Ethics and the Environment to CSR and Sustainable Development (2016, unknown): “Counts from earlier reviews that covered the most two recent decades (1990s and/or 2000s) (Doh & Lucea, 2013; Egri & Ralston, 2008; Holtbrügge & Dögl, 2012; Kolk & Van Tulder, 2010), indicated limited mainstreaming, with only a small share of articles published on CSR and related key words within…”
Beyond Hofstede and GLOBE: Improving the quality of cross-cultural research (2010, background): “The authors found a narrowing over time of the differences between Indonesian and American managers for these two cultural characteristics, thus suggesting cultural crossvergence (Ralston, 2008).”
