"Der vorliegende Beitrag geht der Frage nach, warum multinationale Unternehmen sich freiwillig an Initiativen zur Verbesserung von Sozialstandards beteiligen und welche Rolle dieses gesetzlich nicht verbindliche Engagement für die Entstehung und Verbreitung von Sozialstandards spielt. Im Erklärungsrückgriff auf den Neuen Soziologischen Institutionalismus wird eine Einbettung freiwilliger Initiativen in den Institutionalisierungsprozess von Mythen zu CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) diskutiert. Die Institutionalisierung und Deinstitutionalisierung von Mythen wird in einer CSR-Mythenspirale abgebildet, um so den Prozess 'durch Reden zum Handeln' aus einer soziologischen Perspektive beleuchten zu können."

"This article is concerned with why multinational firms participate voluntarily in initiatives for the improvement of social standards and what role these initiatives play for the diffusion of social standards. With the help of the New Sociological Institutionalism it will be shown in what way these voluntary initiatives of multinational firms are part of the institutionalization of so-called Myths of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). From a sociological point of view the institutionalization and de-institutionalization of these myths will make clear why multinational companies move 'from talking the walk to walking the talk'."
