Analysis followed the grounded theory approach of Glaser and Strauss (1967), which requires that generated data and theory be contrasted and compared through both the data generation and analysis processes in a fluid movement between theory and data. This analytic approach is similar to the hermeneutic approach described by Thompson (1997) in which ‘provisional understandings are formed, challenged, revised, and further developed through an iterative movement between individual transcripts and the emerging understanding of the entire set of textual data’ (Thompson and Arsel, 2004, p. 632). In addition to transcripts from the interviews, the researchers’ notes from the interviews and subsequent debriefing sessions were examined to identify emerging themes. As themes emerged, verbatim sections from the tran- scripts were coded under general themes or categories and subsequently reviewed to capture the nuances under the general themes identified (Table 2). Insum,334 pages oftran- scriptswerereviewedindividuallyalongwithanyaccompany- ing field notes taken during the interview process in order to betterunderstandtheinfluenceoffirmsizeonconsumers’attri- butions towards CSR activities and CSiR behaviour. Tran- scripts were reviewed separately by each author, followed by discussion of the individual transcript and emerging themes following the iterative process suggested by Spiggle (1994). Further,thetranscriptswerecoded across anumberofthemes, including how the size of the firm influenced the examples of socially responsible and irresponsible organisations that our
participants provided and the types of attributions developed by the consumers (i.e. egoistic, strategic, stakeholder driven and values based). The influence of firm size on consumer responses such as willingness to pay a premium and referral behaviour was also coded across each transcript. Finally, the participants were provided a copy of the interview transcript to verify the authors’ interpretation (i.e. Brunk, 2010a).
