“…Nodes with more structural holes often have greater power, especially control over the flow of resources in the network (Yan and Guan, 2018). Therefore, firms that occupy a higher number of structural holes are often considered to be focal firms, and they always benefit by being better informed about what is going on in the network (Macaulay et al, 2018;Watts and Koput, 2019) and by bringing in high-quality resources (Sullivan et al, 2007). Coleman (1998) put forward a critical point of view on the relationship between structural holes and enterprise innovation performance.…”

Amid the pandemic of COVID-19, the collaborative innovation network of enterprises is conducive to the sharing of innovation resources, knowledge transfer, and technology diffusion, which is closely related to the improvement of corporate technological innovation performance. Based on the patent application data of listed enterprises in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai in China, this study constructs a cooperation matrix, describes the characteristics of collaborative innovation network from two dimensions of network structure and network relationship, introduces the breadth of the knowledge base as a moderating variable, and analyzes the nexus between characteristics of a collaborative innovation network and technological innovation performance. Based on the panel data of 193 listed companies in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, this study uses a multiple linear regression model for empirical analysis. The results show a U-shaped relationship between clustering coefficient and technological innovation performance. The breadth of knowledge base strengthens the positive relationship between the structural hole and technological innovation performance. In contrast, the breadth of knowledge base weakens the positive relationship between network relationships strength and technological innovation performance. The study findings will enhance enterprises’ participation in a suitable collaborative innovation according to their knowledge-based characteristics and improve the technological innovation performance.

“…Also, CSRD depends on standards such as Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines, which represents a set of standards that are used by corporates to report the impact of their operations on the society, environment, and economy (Global Reporting Initiative, 2016). On the other hand, CSR Performance measured using a different database such as KLD and EIRIS KLD is the database most used to measure CSR performance (Arora & Dharwadkar, 2011;Bear et al, 2010;Chen et al, 2019;Ghosh & Harjoto, 2011;Harjoto et al, 2015;Macaulay et al, 2018;Mallin & Michelon, 2011). Other studies used the EIRIS database (Cuadrado-Ballesteros et al, 2017).…”

“…Almost 44% of the sampled articles used CSRD as a dependent variable (see Table 9), while nearly 54% used CSR (performance, practices, actions, engagement, and strategies). For example, Macaulay et al (2018), Harjoto et al (2015) and Zhang et al (2013), used CSR performance rating as a measurement of CSR Table 9 shows the dependent variable (CSR/CSRD) across different countries. Forty-eight countries studied 242 articles, and almost 67% of the studies, as mentioned earlier conducted in developed countries.…”

This is the first study that presents a full picture of the field by using a combination of two methodologies, bibliometric and social network analysis (SNA). Thus, this work maps the knowledge of previous research and suggest new avenues for future research for the relationship between board characteristics and corporate social responsibility (CSR) and CSR disclosure (CSRD). We analysed 242 articles published on Web of Science database (WoS) journals for the period 1992-2019. The results show that board characteristics have a significant impact on CSR literature in terms of citations and high-quality journals. Moreover, the trend of the papers published in the field is increasing in the last five years. Our work clusters the literature according to keywords and draws the primary authors' networks. This study also draws potential future avenues for research in the field in terms of research gaps (governance mechanisms, variables, countries, etc.). Furthermore, our results suggest some potential areas of interest for future political reforms of board of directors' guidelines.

“…First, this paper contributes to the literature on CSR by providing the behavioral theory of firm as a new theory explanation. Prior studies have found many important determinants of CSR activities such as the firm's size, female directors, institutions, and competition intensity [2,4,[24][25][26][27], but have failed to reach consensus on how CSR activities are influenced by financial performance. Thus, we can have a better understanding about CSR activities from the performance gap perspective.…”

Based on the behavioral theory of firm and prospect theory, we investigate how corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities will respond to underperformance in past and in future. Using samples of Chinese listed firms from 2011 to 2016, this paper found that CSR increases with the distance by which financial performance in the last year falls below goals and decreases with the distance by which expected financial performance will fall below targets. In addition, the future underperformance will weaken the effect of the past underperformance on CSR. Besides, the value of financial performance in the last year will weaken the impact of underperformance in the last year on CSR and strengthen the impact of underperformance in the next year on CSR. The findings suggest that future studies should take both value of financial performance and performance gaps into consideration to have a better understanding of organizational decisions and behaviors.
