“…Stakeholders, commonly defined as 'any group or individual who can affect, or is affected by, the achievement of the organization's objectives' (Freeman, 1984, p.46), have been positioned as central to B&S research (de Bakker, Groenewegen, & Den Hond, 2006), as they represent both the beneficiaries and implementers of CSR (Burchell & Cook, 2006;Le Ber & Branzei, 2010;Morsing & Schultz, 2006). Research has thus focused on how businesses engage stakeholders, in the form of seeking opinions and gathering information, prior to designing and implementing CSR activities, and its implications for corporate and social/environmental outcomes (Pedersen, 2006;Rasche & Esser, 2006).…”

Engaging Fringe Stakeholders in Business and Society Research: Applying Visual Participatory Research Methods

Business and society (B&S) researchers, as well as practitioners, have been critiqued for ignoring those with less voice and power (e.g. women, non-literate or indigenous peoples) often referred to as 'fringe stakeholders'. Existing methods used in B&S research often fail to address issues of meaningful participation, voice and power, especially in developing countries. In this article we stress the utility of visual participatory research (VPR) methods in B&S research to fill this gap. Through a case study on engaging Ghanaian cocoa farmers on gender inequality issues we explore how VPR methods may be used by researchers to achieve more inclusive, and thus more credible, stakeholder research that can improve decision-making within businesses.Furthermore, we argue that ingrained social and environmental problems tackled by B&S research and the unique context in which they occur may open up new opportunities to develop participatory visual methods for social change.

“…Limitations of the bibliometric methodology as used here are also found in Bakker et al (2006) [ 2 ] and include the following: incomplete coverage of journals, issues, page numbers; unsystematic patterns and incorrect information. To correct for such commonplace errors, four teams of graduate and undergraduate students were used along with senior researchers to cross-check and duplicate some analyses.…”

“…And the "normativist view" is more sceptical still; perceiving that no progress has or can be made by the field, precisely because of its inherently normative constitution (2005: 290). In order to assess the validity of each of these three views, the authors undertake a bibliometric analysis of 30 years of the literature on Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Social Performance (see also de Bakker et al 2006). And elsewhere, Margolis and Walsh"s similarly exhaustive examination of this same literature (2003: 273-278, 2001) is criticised by Orlitzky, Schmidt and Rynes (2003: 404) who posit their own analytic methodology as superior.…”

The question of corporate social responsibility

This thesis raises the question of Corporate Social Responsibility: it asks what it is. This is done for the sake of attempting to come to terms with what seems to be Corporate Social Responsibility's contemporary prevalence. Today, Corporate Social Responsibility is largely approached as a pragmatic question. That is to say, Corporate Social Responsibility is largely approached as a concern for practitioners, rather than theorists. To raise the question of Corporate Social Responsibility today is to therefore raise it in the midst of a predominantly held anti-theoreticist pragmatic stance. This stance, for its part, is challenged here. Against the notion that so-called pragmatism is a natural, correct or even superior disposition to adopt towards the question of Corporate Social Responsibility, this investigation posits the need to raise the question again. It does this by accounting for the historical development of the pragmatic claim upon Corporate Social Responsibility, on the one hand, and by positing the reliance of this historically determined pragmatism upon a more general project of interrogating Corporate Social Responsibility, on the other. Addressing this dual task is shown to be a matter of attempting to approach the question in the right way, of demonstrating what it means to approach Corporate Social Responsibility as a question first and foremost. To do this is not to proceed in ignorance of the fact that this question has been both asked and answered many times before. It is rather to proceed precisely on the basis of how the question has been addressed so many times before. It is ultimately demonstrated that today's prevalent pragmatic priority stands, somewhat paradoxically, as the greatest barrier to Corporate Social Responsibility. It is ultimately argued, therefore, that to approach Corporate Social Responsibility as a question is to preserve its possibility, albeit without directly seeking to actualise it.
