| Tiivistelmä: | This article features a qualitative study on the diffusion, and the factors influencing it, of corporate responsibility (CR) practices to companies. Forest companies, industry associations, non-governmental organizations, and academics in Brazil, Canada, and the United States were interviewed for this study. Three factors influencing the diffusion of CR practices were found: connectors, external contextual characteristics, and experts and expert organizations. The diffusion process of CR practices is to some extent cyclic, which stems from all the three factors influencing each other. |
