“…One set of frames may form around governance issues, exploring the question of who is responsible for taking action to address sustainability concerns (e.g. private sector vs. state) (Matten & Crane, 2005;Reinhardt, Stavins, & Vietor, 2008). Other framesets could relate to the discussion of different motivations to take action on sustainability (e.g.…”

Drawing on the literature on managerial cognition, corporate sustainability, and strategic paradoxes, we develop a cognitive framing perspective on corporate sustainability. We propose two cognitive frames -a business case frame and a paradoxical frame -and explore how differences between them in cognitive content and structure influence the three stages of the sensemaking process, i.e. managerial

“…Although a debate on definitions is beyond the scope of this paper, it can be said that approached in this way, CSR seems to be more than 'beyond compliance' and advancing a social cause (Rodriguez, Siegel, Hillman, & Eden, 2006: p. 736); nor does it involve 'systematic overcompliance' (Portney, 2008) or only 'sacrificing profits in the social interest' (Reinhardt, Stavins, & Vietor, 2008).

“…This theory can also explain why perfectly rational entrepreneurs sacrifice profits in the social interest (Friedman, 1970;Baron, 2001;Reinhardt, Stavins and Vietor, 2008).
