  1. The Corporate Social Performance and Corporate Financial Performance Debate.Jennifer J. Griffin & John F. Mahon - 1997 - Business and Society 36 (1):5-31.
    This article extends earlier research concerning the relationship between corporate social performance and corporate financial performance, with particular emphasis on methodological inconsistencies. Research in this area is extended in three critical areas. First, it focuses on a particular industry, the chemical industry.

  • Researching the Drivers of Socially Responsible Purchasing: A Cross-National Study of Supplier Diversity Initiatives.Ian Worthington, Monder Ram, Harvinder Boyal & Mayank Shah - 2008 - Journal of Business Ethics 79 (3):319-331.

It reveals important contextual differences between U.K. and U.S. experience and offers an empirical and theoretical explanation of corporate behaviour.
