讲座主要内容
previous studies have shown that major corporate customers can utilize their power to affect their suppliers’ corporate social irresponsibility (csi). drawing from the awareness-motivation-capability (amc) framework, we extend this literature by arguing that the influence of major corporate customers’ power is salient only when they have been aware of suppliers’ csi and when they have motivation to use their power to request suppliers to decease csi. our empirical results demonstrate that suppliers’ csi becomes lower when major corporate customers are more concentrated and thus more powerful. more importantly, we find suppliers' three characteristics related to major corporate customers’ awareness and motivation strongly moderate this relationship, which tends to be insignificant if major corporate customers’ awareness and motivation are at low level. using a dataset of us-listed firms as suppliers from 1991 to 2018, our empirical evidence provides robust support for our arguments. the implications of the findings for theory and practice are discussed.
