“…Most companies accordingly marginalise controversies and criticism. Stakeholder alliances (Baranova & Meadows, 2017; Yang, Liu, & Wang, 2020) and the United Nations Global Compact (Arevalo, Aravind, Ayuso, & Roca, 2013) serve the same harmonising purpose. When companies enter these alliances it helps to give the impression of harmony rather than a conflict of interest between profit‐oriented companies and non‐profit organisations.…”

Business Ethics: A Eur Rev

Business is frequently criticized for not taking social and environmental responsibility. Large companies respond with CSR activities and some also with formulating justifications for their actions. This could indicate that business opens up to the criticism. I do, however, not observe such openness in the current study, but how companies use “CSR justifications” to fend off criticism. While companies use justifications as tool for creating legitimacy, I distinguish five justification fallacies. These failures in dealing with criticism cause a marginalisation of criticism, society, and environment. The fallacies found are neglecting criticism, shareholder primacy, organisation‐centricity, conflict avoidance, and progressivism. I contribute to the use of Habermasian ethics in the business ethics literature by showing how CSR justifications could play a part in a rational discourse. The concept justification fallacy, and the five fallacies can provide a framework for analysing corporate rhetoric more generally. Managers have fundamental difficulties in handling ethics and do not reflect on their reasons for working with CSR. They should be more careful when formulating justifications. In our situation of increasing affective polarisation, business needs to be more constructive than merely to marginalise criticism.

“…This model can not only detect the outbreak of sudden disaster events but also output the outbreak time and affected area of the disaster quickly, which could be in favor of the following data collection and update. The Leshan Earthquake case research confirmed that the output of the above model could effectively serve the real-time and intelligent collection of disaster microblog information in the affected disaster area, which is conducive to providing a useful real-time data source for dynamic emergency response [Yang, A., 2020].…”

With the rapid development of Internet information technology, the advantages of social media in terms of speed, content, form, and effect of communication are becoming increasingly significant. In recent years, more and more researchers have paid attention to the special value and role of social media tools in disaster information emergency management. Weibo is the most widely used Chinese social media tool. To effectively mine and apply the emergency function of disaster situation microblogs, a disaster situation information discovery and collection system capable of online incremental identification and collection are constructed for massive and disordered disaster microblog text streams. First, based on the deep learning- trained word vector model and a large-scale corpus, an unsupervised short-text feature representation method of disaster situation Weibo information is developed. According to the experimental results of the feature combination test and the training set scale test, the SVM algorithm was selected for disaster microblog information classification, which realized effective identification of disaster situation micro-bloggings. Then, the temporal information similarity and geographic information similarity are used to improve the single text similarity algorithm, and a Chinese disaster event online real-time detection model is constructed. Furthermore, the disaster-affected areas can be achieved in real-time based on the detection results. By crawling and classifying the micro-bloggings from the disaster-affected areas, it is possible to realize the incremental identification and collection of online disaster situation Weibo information. Finally, the empirical analysis of disaster events such as the “Leshan Earthquake” shows that the real- time intelligent identification and collection system for disaster situation Weibo micro-bloggings developed in this paper can obtain large-scale and useful data for disaster emergency management, which proving that this system is effective and efficient.

“…We used companies' industry information provided by Fortune for further classi cation. Consulting the Standard Industrial Classi cation (SIC) and Industry Classi cation Benchmark (ICB), both widely used by scholars and nancial sectors for categorization (e.g., NYSE, NASDAQ, Arun et al, 2015;Yang et al, 2020), we classi ed the 2018 Fortune Global 500 companies into three categories: traditional ( = 62), services ( = 140), and high tech ( = 34), similar to Zéghal and Maaloul (2010). The detailed classi cation scheme can be found in Table 1 of the online Appendix.…”

Corporations are increasingly engaging with political and social issues through corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, in new areas such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) advocacy. Informed by institutional theory and stakeholder theory, this article systematically, comparatively, and computationally examines the intersection of LGBTQ advocacy and CSR communication. In particular, it contributes to the literature by 1) examining the global LGBTQ CSR discourse constructed by Fortune Global 500 companies (136,820 words) with semantic network analysis and structural topic modeling; 2) surveying non-pro t organizations' guidelines and comparing corporate values with them; and 3) exploring how stakeholder expectations and institutional factors in uence CSR communication. Results indicate 6 corporate topics and 9 non-pro t topics, which were explicated by referencing organizations' original writing. It is further shown that stakeholder expectations and institutional factors not only a ect whether or not corporations report LGBTQ e orts, but also a ect what topics they highlight in CSR reports. Corporations in democratic countries with substantial stakeholder expectations emphasize areas that need high investment and exceed legal obligations.
