Online Activism, CSR and Institutional Change

  • Chapter
Civic Engagement and Social Media

Abstract

Business has many influences on society and increasingly society aims to have more, and more direct, influence on business as well. A steady stream of research speaks to these business-society interactions, including the widespread attention to stakeholders and the way they influence, and are influenced by, business organizations (cf. Sharma & Henriques, 2005), or to questions of whether corporations could be regarded as ‘corporate citizens’ and what that would entail (Matten & Crane, 2005). With the apparent retreat of states from many markets, research increasingly highlights issues of governance and private politics (Baron, 2003), looking at how corporate behaviour could and should be governed and who should be involved in doing so.
