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. Here<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>'s
one that can be dowloaded online.

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:

*Accounting*, *Auditing* & *Accountability Journal*. *Special issue*: Social
and environmental reporting; *2002*,
volume 15, issue 3.
http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journals.htm?issn=0951-3574&volume=15&issue=3

Gray R.H., D.L. Owen & C. Adams (1996) Accounting and Accountability:
Changes and Challenges in Corporate Social and Environmental Reporting
(London: Prentice Hall)

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,
which somehow goes in the same direction as my paper.

Cheers,

Matteo
