Matteo Fuoli mentioned on this very list that he was doing research on<br>
these topics, too.<br>

</blockquote><div>I'm currently working on my Masters' thesis on Appraisal in two companies' sustainability reports. <br><br>As far as evaluation in these kind of publications, which is the focus of my thesis, Malavasi (see e.g. 2007, 2008) has published some interesting articles. <a href="http://www.google.it/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Filcea.revues.org%2Fpdf%2F724&ei=khQwTd33J8fPhAek3YHuCw&usg=AFQjCNGqfeon4AXlmencCREyjQbvK9jZtw&sig2=PdASpSpBjYxpkprDHzP3Tg">Here</a>'s one that can be dowloaded online.<br>
<br>I've found a really insightful perspective in a 'critical' strand of the social accounting literature referred to as 'legitimacy theory'. You could have a read at:<br><br><span style="visibility: visible;" id="search"><em>Accounting</em>, <em>Auditing</em> & <em>Accountability Journal</em>. <em>Special issue</em>: Social and environmental reporting; <em>2002</em>, </span><br>
volume 15, issue 3. <br><a href="http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journals.htm?issn=0951-3574&volume=15&issue=3">http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journals.htm?issn=0951-3574&volume=15&issue=3</a><br><br>Gray R.H., D.L. Owen & C. Adams (1996) Accounting and
Accountability: Changes and Challenges in Corporate Social and
Environmental Reporting (London: Prentice Hall)<br><br>You could also have a look at Vaara, E., Tienari, J., A discursive perspective on legitimation Strategies in Multinational Corporations, The Academy of Management Review 33:4,<br>
which somehow goes in the same direction as my paper.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Matteo<br><br><br><br><br><br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
