摘要：This article combines concepts from institutional analysis in modern political economy and from organizational behavior better to understand variation in the business-government interface among major industrialized democracies. We contend that differences in business-government relations across countries can be better understood by examining the institutions through which business and government interact with particular attention to formal constraints such as rules that individuals devise and ...

摘要：A central feature of postindustrial modernization is the proliferation of technological and environmental risks and crises. These risks and crises emanate from corporate industrial activities. The traditional management paradigm is limited in several ways for responding to demands of the risk society and should be abandoned. I propose an alternative ''ecocentric'' paradigm for management in the risk society context, which advocates an ecologically centered conception of interorganizational rel...

摘要：This article presents conclusions from a 10-year research program, the purpose of which has been to develop a framework and methodology, grounded in the reality of corporate behavior, for analyzing and evaluating corporate social performance. There are three principal sections: (a) a summary of the approaches, models, and methodologies used in conducting more than 70 field studies of corporate social performance from 1983-1993; (b) a discussion of the principal conclusions derived from the dat...

摘要：In this article we distinguish the views of insiders and outsiders and develop propositions suggesting how interactions between them may evolve. Two case studies illustrate how these ideas may manifest themselves in practice. By focusing on gaining control of the balance of institutional power instead of exploring alternative perspectives on controversial issues, we continue to create gaps between what insiders do and what outsiders actually want. Resolution of controversial issues requires th...

摘要：This article identifies two major theoretical orientations in the business and society field. The corporate social performance (CSP) model illustrates their lack of integration and the problems posed for theory development. The model is reoriented so that it can be used to explore a synthesis of the two perspectives based on reframed principles of corporate social responsibility, processes of corporate social responsiveness, and outcomes of corporate behavior.

摘要：From a review of previous theoretical and empirical research in corporate illegal activity and top management team (TMT) characteristics, we develop several propositions that suggest a relationship between the two. TMT characteristics such as length of service, functional background, formal business education, age, and military service, as well as homogeneity in each of these characteristics, are hypothesized to neutralize or enhance relationships between context and corporate illegal activity...

摘要：We develop a philosophical perspective on the moral obligations of managers, which we call agent morality, by examining the moral implications of agency theory. Our view is grounded in noninstrumental ethics, which we argue is logically superior to instrumental ethics. We show that the principal-agent model of the firm, once properly considered, requires that managers fashion business policies with reference first to certain moral duties and second to shareholder wealth.
