Due to these costs, social and environmental information about firm behavior is becoming an important tool for consumer groups, non-governmental organizations, politicians, and concerned citizens to draw attention to firm practices and create pressure for change. This dissertation looks at this phenomenon in two contexts: How U.S. firms respond to their state Toxic Release Inventory "pollution rankings" and how multinational firms in Indonesia respond to outside pressure to improve labor conditions. | | Subject | : | Health and environmental sciences; Social sciences; Environmental information; Firm behavior; Social information; Right-to-know; Globalization; Pollution; Indonesia; Agricultural economics; Management; Environmental science; Organizational behavior; Working conditions; Multinational corporations; Studies; 0768:Environmental science; 0503:Agricultural economics; 0454:Management | | Added Entry | : | M.
