dc.description.abstract | Collective action in the form of a boycott or a campaign or any other threat that affects the operations
of a firm is considered an instrument in the hands of organizations and consumers to control firm
behaviour and to apply pressure on firms to behave in a socially responsible manner. This paper adds
to existing literature on collective action in the context of CSR by looking at firms’ incentives to
signal their true technology through the choice of CSR in order to avoid collective action of a higher
magnitude than that corresponding to their true type of technology. It is shown that collective action
does not always succeed to provide incentives to firms to engage in CSR and finds conditions for
collective action to be successful. | en |
