Reviewer 2 Report

I have two suggestions for improvement:

  1. you suggest that you study commitment to CSR. There is a lot of literature on this subject. Could you please develop your literature review!
  2. Discussions. I think that your analysis of your interviews is somewhat superficial. Can you please improve this analysis!
