Corporate Social Responsibility and Financial Performance: Correlation or Misspecification?
Thinks that R&D has been overlooked by researchers looking at these CSP FP relationships.
Again, misses the point a little.
My point is that the whoel thing needs to be reassessed. The whole outlook, approach.

Corporate reputation and sustained superior financial performance
Average article - thinks that reputation has been overlooked in some CSP FP models
not worth looking at.

Much Ado About Nothing: A Conceptual Critique of CSR
Odd piece, but might be quite useful - looks at the rational behind ditching CSR altogether.
Same kind of arguments as other authors - general lack of theoretical background - or at least a real mishmash of different concepts - slates the whole CFP CSP thing - waste of time.
A lot of references to data chasing theory - loads of stats, but what do they mean?
good quote on pg 15
it should be acknowledged that there is no uncontestable way of measuring such a complex construct...

Corporate responsibility activities and economic performance: a theory of why and how they are connected
One of what i imagine to be a raft of new articles trying to sort out this mess. Not entirely sure what this article is trying to say. The author tries to separte the outcomes form the activities and tries to resurrect the idea of the inverted U -curve. The idea that initial gains can be made but will suffer form diminishing marginal returns. Lots of hocus-pocus about where the curve is and how it can move.
The article has an odd env feel to it, and leaves a lot to be explained. Interesting to see if a little more will come out of articles like this. I think there is a need to untangle this web, but I'm not sure this article is quite the way forward.
Mentions some articles - Orlitszky 2003 - not sure i still have this - meta analysis.

The Corporate Social Performance and Corporate Financial Performance Debate: Twenty-Five Years of Incomparable Research
as the title suggests
pg 10 big critique of all these silly studies, despite clear remarks not to go down that road.
pg 11 starts to veer towards what i ma talking about - "the focus on a single industry may allow for the development and recognition of specific patterns of social performance that may be specific to a single industry and its stakeholder patterns of action and involvement, and it also allowas for a clearer recognition of different social performance by individual companies within the industry."
Big critique of FP measures pg 11 - over 70% of financial performance measures were used only once.!!!!!
Outline the Fortune survey pg 14
And then KLD (at bottom) pg 14
And TRI - toxic release inventory pg 15
And corporate philanthrophy pg 16
one industry (chemicals)
5 FP measures - return on equity, return on assets, total assets, asset age, 5-year return on sales.
Not huge findings - points to "CSP and FP relationships in specific industry contexts and offer more relevant insights to practitioners. In addition, we believe that such a research focus will yield rich insights into specific corporate social performance activities by individual firms.
pg 25
Need to refie complex relationships by looking in depth at one industry.
