“…In this research, we used titles as text inputs to de Bakker et al / BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS 295 perform a semi-automated text analysis directed at creating maps of the CSR and CSP databases. We applied a method developed by Carley (1997), which is supported by Automap, an automated text analysis program (Carley, 1997;Hill & Carley, 1999). 6 Title entries from papers in our datasets were converted to a text file, and the text was analyzed using Automap.…”

Social responsibilities of businesses and their managers have been discussed since the 1950s. Yet no consensus about progress has been achieved in the corporate social responsibility/corporate social performance literature. In this article, we seek to analyze three views on this literature. One view is that development occurred from conceptual vagueness, through clarification of central constructs and their relationships, to the testing of theory—a process supported by increased sophistication in research methods. In contrast, other authors claim that hardly any progress is to be expected because of the inherently normative character of the literature. A final view is that progress in the literature on the social responsibilities of business is obscured or even hampered by the continuing introduction of newconstructs. This article explores which of these three views better describes the evolution of the literature during a period of 30 years and suggests implications for further research.

“…However, this is not an issue with our semantic networks because each constitutes a single component. The betweenness centrality of a concept within a semantic network is a direct indicator of its influence [55,65,66]. A key concept with high betweenness centrality controls access to other key concepts in the network [10,62,67,68] and thus serves as a gatekeeper between different domains [69].…”

Background/purpose: Convenient access to vast and untapped collections of documents generated by organizations is a highly valuable resource for research. These documents (e.g., press releases) are a window into organizational strategies, communication patterns, and organizational behavior. However, the analysis of large document corpora requires appropriate automated methods for text mining and analysis that are able to take into account the redundant and predictable nature of formalized discourse. Methods: We use a combination of semantic network analysis and network centrality measures to overcome these particular challenges and to explore the dynamic structural space of concepts in formalized documents pertaining to the recent financial crisis. Data: For our analyses, we collect the press releases of the European Central Bank (ECB) and the United States' Federal Reserve System (Fed) issued between 2006 and 2013 in order to examine their semantic networks before, during, and after the recent financial crisis. Their press releases are notably impactful in their influence on other financial institutions and society at large, especially during times of financial volatility. Results: The structural space created from joint centrality metrics reveals salient shifts in the discursive practices of the ECB and Fed. In particular, the Fed exhibits greater attentiveness to the financial crisis especially during the crisis itself, while the ECB's attention is delayed and increasing steadily. Furthermore, we show both the Fed's and the ECB's discourse transitioning into a new "hybrid" state, rather than returning to the pre-crisis status quo. Conclusions: Examining the semantic networks of organizational text documents, we find that our analytic approach reveals important discursive shifts, which would not have been discovered under traditional text-analytic approaches. We demonstrate the utility of this approach in investigating large text corpora of organizational discourse, and we anticipate our methods to be comparably valuable in the analysis of a large spectrum of formal and informal discourse.
