Tiivistelmä: | Following increased demands for transparency, corporate responsibility (CR) communication (henceforth as: CR-comm.) has risen drastically during recent years. Companies tend to professionalize CR-comm. through providing information corresponding to demands for transparency demanded by certain stakeholders. This study explores particularly the aspect of the organisation of CR-comm., a phenomenon referred to as the 'filtration effect'. Based on comparison of the CR-comm. in parent companies with their subsidiaries, it is empirically shown that there is considerably less CR-comm. on the subsidiary level compared to the parent level. The strong 'filtration effect' encountered suggests that CR-comm. does not appear to be very much adapted to customers. |
