TLDR
In this paper, the authors apply the strategic logic of the Bartlett and Ghoshal typology to the realm of corporate social responsibility (CSR) to international organizational strategy and find that institutional pressures, rather than strategic analysis of social issues and stakeholders, are guiding decision-making with respect to CSR.Abstract:
What is the relationship of global and local (country-specific) corporate social responsibility (CSR) to international organizational strategy? Applying the strategic logic of the Bartlett and Ghoshal typology to the realm of CSR, multinational firms should respond to pressures for integration and responsiveness from salient stakeholders. However, an institutional logic would suggest that multinational firms will simply replicate the existing product-market organizational strategy (multidomestic, transnational, global) in their management of CSR. These alternative approaches are tested with a survey instrument sent to MNEs operating in Mexico. The results of this study are consistent with the proposition that institutional pressures, rather than strategic analysis of social issues and stakeholders, are guiding decision-making with respect to CSR. We develop implications for MNE management and research, as well as public policy.read more

Estimating Nonresponse Bias in Mail Surveys
TL;DR: This article used subjective estimates and extrapolations in an analysis of mail survey data from published studies for estimates of the magnitude of bias and found that the use of extrapolation led to substantial improvements over a strategy of not using extrapolation.

Estimating Nonresponse Bias in Mail Surveys

TL;DR: Valid predictions for the direction of nonresponse bias were obtained from subjective estimates and extrapolations in an analysis of mail survey data from published studies and the use of extrapolation led to substantial improvements over a strategy of not using extrapolation.
