| Tiivistelmä: | In dealing with corporate perceptions of the business case for supplier diversity (SD), this paper reports on a cross-national study of large purchasing organisations (LPOs) that had introduced, or were in the process of introducing, purchasing initiatives aimed at ethnic minority businesses (EMBs). It is explored how LPOs portray the benefits of this form of socially responsible purchasing, suggesting a business case construct based on four component elements. Also, highlighted is a number of contextual factors that seem to have shaped business case rationales. |
