Popis: This research represents an initial attempt at uncovering specific potential underlying mechanisms that drive the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on firm profitability. We concentrate on the oil and gas distribution industry, which operates primarily within a franchise context, as well as within an industry that receives heavy attention from the popular press regarding environmentally impactful actions. Results support hypotheses, demonstrating a salient need for managers to properly execute their CSR strategies, and responses to potentially damaging publicity, such as the filings of an EPA suit.
