摘要:Notwithstanding the significance to organizations of external reactions to bad behavior, the corporate social responsibility literature tends to focus on the meaning of and expectations for responsible behavior, rather than on the meaning of irresponsible behavior. Here we develop a theoretical perspective that explicitly focuses on irresponsibility and that particularly helps explain attributions of social irresponsibility in the minds of the firm's observers. In contrast to approaches in the...

摘要:Intergroup leadership-leadership of collaborative performance of different organizational groups or organizations-is associated with unique intergroup challenges that are not addressed by traditional leadership theories. To address this lacuna, we describe a theory of intergroup leadership. Firmly grounded in research on social identity and intergroup relations, the theory proposes that effective intergroup performance rests on the leader's ability to construct an intergroup relational identit...

摘要:Intersecting the boundaries of public and private economic activity, public-private ties carry important organizational strategy, management, and policy implications. We identify the value creation and capture mechanisms embedded in these ties through a theoretical framework of two conceptual public-private structural alternatives, each associated with different value-creating capacities, rationales, and outcomes. Two important restraints on private value capture-public partner opportunism and...

摘要:The theory of performance feedback views decision makers as problem solvers seeking to improve performance. By specifying how and when decision makers may instead seek to enhance their self-image by assessing performance as satisfactory, the model presented in this article specifies boundaries on performance feedback theory's critical prediction that low performance induces increased search, change, and risk taking, and it suggests one reason why decision makers sometimes fail to learn from th...

摘要:I examine corporate political activity in regulated industries, which is conceptualized in the literature as transactions in a political marketplace. I incorporate transaction costs in political markets and propose that under high asset specificity, corporate political activity and internalization are substitutes because favorable public policy also mitigates asset specificity. Firms choose corporate political activity when transaction costs are lower than internalization costs. I outline cond...

摘要:An epistemic fault line separating positive from normative concepts underlies theories of corporate governance. I analyze this fault line in order to show the importance of clarifying normative assumptions in governance models. I formulate an impossibility theorem for corporate governance that demonstrates how contemporary theories neglect normative concepts. Applying the theorem clears the way both for the better use of existing models and for the design of more epistemologically sophisticate...

摘要:In this article I pursue two objectives. First, I refine the definition of stewardship by exploring the underlying assumptions of stewardship theory and examining the conceptual distinctiveness of the stewardship construct. Second, I propose a model of stewardship antecedents. In so doing, I discuss the structural and psychological factors that influence stewardship behaviors through psychological ownership and the ways in which stewardship behaviors can collectively create feedback loop proce...
