"Dieser Artikel untersucht die von der International Organization for Standardization (ISO) geschaffene Plattform, mit deren Hilfe es in fast zehnjähriger Verhandlung gelang, den ISO 26000 Standard zu veröffentlichen. Die Argumentation erfolgt in zwei Schritten. Zunächst werden neoinstitutionelle und politische Theorieansätze kombiniert, um zu erklären wie die ISO verschiedene konkurrierende Gruppen erfolgreich an den Verhandlungstisch brachte. In einem weiteren Schritt wird das Konzept der 'Plattform' eingeführt und es wird dargelegt, wie Plattformen die Schaffung neuer Institutionen auf internationaler Ebene ermöglichen. Diese theoretischen Schritte können erklären, wie politische Orte in der neu entstehenden globalen Infrastruktur für die soziale Verantwortung von Organisationen funktionieren."

"This paper seeks to understand the success of the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO) in creating a platform for the development of ISO 26000, a standard of organizational social responsibility (OSR). The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, neo-institutional theory combined with political theory will help us to understand how ISO successfully managed to attract and maintain the participation of several opposing groups in the development process of its ISO 26000 standard. Second, the authors introduce here the concept of platform and examine how institutional platforms facilitate the construction of new institutions at an international level. This will lead us to propose an account of how new political places work in the emerging global infrastructure on OSR." (author's abstract)... view less
