Research/articles that discuss inactive corporate impacts in local communities, i.e., where impact is not active or relational (i.e., not as according to the stakeholder idea)?
HI Kristina, Impact in general is always a tough one. I'm not sure if you're talking social impact but if you are you could look at the UN PRME sustainable development goals and compare them to your local community. A related idea is to use the new tool on gapframe.org which has a host of data on how countries are doing on key issues.
If you mean indirect or unintended non-relational impacts, you might find some of the economics literature concerned with externalities useful. This is sometimes labelled social impacts. Most of the studies I have seen are concerned with resource/mining impacts (most recently, coal seam gas).
