Nationale Bedingungen und freiwillige unternehmerische Normbefolgung

In new forms of public-private or even private governance arrangements beyond the state the functional division of labour between the private and the public sector is blurred. Companies have taken on authoritative roles and regulatory functions in processes of norm setting and norm development. This book tackles the question, in how far national conditions in a company’s home state still influence voluntary corporate norm compliance. With reference to compliance research and the neo-institutional isomorphism approach, the author proves the home state to have explanatory power for voluntary corporate norm compliance of G500 companies originating from Germany in the Global Reporting Initiative.
