This research explores how stakeholder scholarship can evolve into a puzzle-solving tool, akin to more advanced scientific fields. Only a unified stakeholder management science can address issues like firms that, despite the looming threat of climate disaster, prioritize profits over environmental concerns. Such unification, however, depends on a c...

This research addresses the question of how multinational enterprises (MNEs) can be overhauled to reckon with the finite ecosystem services that characterize the Anthropocene epoch. A comparative mechanism-based methodology is employed to seek an answer in the class of entities that MNEs are benchmarked against the unorthodox organization of a rece...

Patagonia, an outdoor clothing company thrust into the limelight by a New York Times full-page ad that in 2001 invited customers not to buy its own gear, has recently responded to the inherently low capacity of firms to supply ecosystem services. Since the firm is a generic term encompassing many different bundles of property rights, the specific m...

On account of the leverage that the Academy of Management (AOM) has, via its positioning in the highest tiers of the A-journal lists currently used to adjudicate promotions and tenure evaluations, it is urgent to assess the premises and assumptions upon which the so-called pluralist model of scholarly impact, advocated by academics with executive r...

Notorious cases of corporate misconduct often revolve around the misapplication of pay to performance. Yet many business schools have too easily given themselves up to these kinds of high-powered incentives in the management of research. This practice is contrary to the very management knowledge taught in business school classrooms and it can wreak...

Notorious cases of corporate misconduct often revolve around the misapplication of pay sensitivity to performance. Yet many business schools have too easily given themselves up to these kinds of high-powered incentives in the management of research. This practice is contrary to the teachings of the very management knowledge taught in business schoo...

Strategic management and economics are jammed with thin accounts of the firm, where the inner workings of enterprises are left unexplained. This has been carried over to stakeholder scholarship, where sustainable enterprise behavior is a matter of ethical willpower rather than organizational mechanisms. This topic forum invites academics to contrib...

This article fathoms how a social enterprise wanes by applying the construct of imperative credible commitments from transaction cost economics to the case of Etsy.com, an online marketplace created to connect artisans and craftwork enthusiasts. In the absence of imperative credible commitments, Etsy’s social mission was bound to change, leaving th...

This chapter takes organization scholars and economists beyond the idea that scientific discoveries are first and foremost the product of a stroke of genius. Although that has been the dominant belief in the domain of 20th Century philosophy of science, there is today enough evidence that scientific discoveries pivot on more than ingenuity. By shed...

This chapter delves into how organizational structures bear upon scientific production, answering the question: What kinds of organizational structures are in keeping with hospitable conditions for scientific discoveries? Thus, there is every indication that the organizations that are most propitious for scientific discoveries consist of functional...

Patrons of think tanks—for example, governments, corporations, philanthropists, NGOs, and so forth—may control think tanks’ boards, that is, their highest decision-making body. Whether patrons are likely to control boards is a question that remains under-explored and under-theorised in public administration and governance scholarship. It is posited...

The boards of health partnerships such as the Roll Back Malaria Partnership (RBM) and Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) create networks through cross-board membership (interlocks). While these networks bear the risk of cooptation and collusion in corporate governance, in public-private partnerships they may facilitate cooperation and responsivene...

Psychiatry as a medical science has debunked contextual definitions of disorders for a good reason. This exchange article seeks to assist entrepreneurship scholars in assessing the risks of building scholarship upon a notion that has proved to be problematic. Thus, four reasons why entrepreneurship scholars may want to distance themselves from cont...

This article explores the relationship between the adoption of core party political values and an individual’s electoral prospects. Our survey of 355 local candidates in Prague, Budapest and Bratislava shows that many aspiring politicians, including non-profit leaders, make a strategic calculation to adopt core party values in order to improve thei...

Comparative research on nonprofit organizations (NPOs) has been a prominent approach for advancing our understanding of these organizations. This article identifies the primary drivers that shape the NPO comparative research agenda and explores new research trends. Based on a systematic literature review, nine definitional aspects and ten impulses...

This article considers the current state of the Swiss foundation sector in relation to both its own historical development and its counterparts in Germany and the United States. Through a descriptive analysis of the database of the Center for Philanthropy Studies (CEPS) of 11,619 foundations and a case study of 2,679 foundations in 7 cantons, we sh...

This article uses a transaction cost economics (TCE) approach to analyze cooperation between nonprofits, governments and firms, namely, hybrids. This is a different concept from hybrids in the nonprofit management literature. In TCE, hybrids are organizational modes of transactions where the parties contribute limited resources, for which they esta...

If board voting membership for stakeholders is inefficient and thus likely to be unfeasible, as Transaction Cost Economics (TCE) posits, how can Ben & Jerry’s (B&J) be accounted for? This question, overlooked by TCE scholars and stakeholder advocates alike, is answered in this paper. Shareholder-centric corporate boards are the only feasible option...

This article examines the state of comparative rese arch of Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs). Reviewing 110 articles published in philanthropic and third sector j ournals in the last 10 years, this article surveys the essential aspects of the research design and content of comparative studies. It is found that practical con- straints of the compar...

By examining the organisational structure of EU think tank fora (seminars, workshops and conferences), this article proposes that fora can play the role of transaction cost reducers in EU policymaking. I argue that certain aspects of EU policymaking, including i) controlled processes of consultation, ii) diminishing costs of management, and iii) th...

This article aims to depict how the EU policymaking process affects the knowledge-broker role of EU think tanks. To this end, I examine the organisational and output strategies of 22 EU think tanks—think tanks sharing a EU-transnational origin, an interest in EU subjects, and the intention to contribute to EU policymaking. I argue that certain aspe...

This is a study of EU think tanks. EU think tanks are think tanks located in Brussels and sharing an EU-transnational origin, an interest in EU subjects and the intention to contribute to EU policymaking. Lack of systematic research in this area and the need for a comprehensive theoretical approach to understanding the think tank phenomenon in the...
