| Abstract: | This paper presents the findings of a pilot study of corporate responsibility (CR) within the procurement processes of 9 large organisations, with a predominant focus on service providers and utilities. Cross-case analysis shows that the rate of CR developments and the focus of CR elements that are given priority vary significantly. A number of key issues incl. terminological complexity and CR data measurement, integrity and sharing before using force-field analysis to explore some of the key issues are discussed. |
