title = {Collective Corporate Social Responsibility: The Role of Trust as an Organizing PrincipleDate submitted: September 30, 2017Revised version accepted after double blind review: October 18, 2018},
year = {2019},
note = {Organizing corporate social responsibility (CSR) on a collective,
rather than on the individual firm level, results in a set of specific
challenges for organizations. The aim of this article is to assess
these challenges inherent in collective CSR and to conceptualize trust
as an organizing principle within these networks. To do so, we explore
and outline the chief challenges faced within horizontal cooperation
between inter-organizational actors aiming to realize CSR efforts
collectively. Subsequently, we draw from the literature on trust as an
organizing principle in inter-organizational networks and go on to
develop mechanisms through which trust can address these challenges.
This article contributes a new analytical framework that informs
future studies on the role of trust in collective CSR. It enables a
differentiated analysis of the potential, but also the pitfalls, of
trust-based CSR at the network level.},
