Transforming Indigenous Procurement: Empowerment, Challenges, and the Road Ahead
The path toward economic reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations in Canada is a complex and vital journey that requires careful consideration of historical injustices and contemporary challenges. This paper focuses on the role of public procurement in addressing economic disparities and strengthening the nation-to-nation relationship between the Government of Canada and Indigenous communities. It provides an overview of p…
Introduction to the Special Issue on the Role of Place in Sustainability: Key Trends and Agenda for Future Research
This editorial reviews key themes, trends, and assumptions of organizational research on place and sustainability and introduces the special issue on the “Role of Place in Sustainability.” While recent theorizing has often emphasized global issues such as grand challenges, planetary boundaries, and climate change, this special issue revisits the local by focusing on the role of place in sustainability. We discuss trends and subdomains of research…
Indigenous entrepreneurship? Setting the record straight
We provide an historical essay synthesising the macro societal processes that affected Indigenous peoples’ entrepreneurial and trade activities in Canada from pre-contact to 1920. Adopting Indigenous entrepreneurship and institutional theory lenses, we find that the evolution of legal, political, and socio-economic forces converged to undermine Indigenous peoples’ entrepreneurial activity and well-being in Canada. Our narrative suggests a dynamic…
Shared Value Creation in Equivocal CSR Environments: A Configuration Approach
Putting the “Love of Humanity” Back in Corporate Philanthropy: The Case of Health Grants by Corporate Foundations
With the growing call for private sector actors to address global challenges, it is necessary to first assess whether regions with the greatest needs are accessing corporate philanthropy. In this paper, we ask whether corporate philanthropy is reaching those with the greatest health-care needs. Drawing on economic geography and corporate homophily, we argue that corporate philanthropy tends to exacerbate health inequality as grants are destined f…
The Impact of Corruption and Poverty on NGO–Business Collaboration in Mexico
We examine the likelihood of collaboration between NGOs and business in persistent intense social contexts. Using social capital theory and the institutional void literature, we argue that an NGO’s stakeholder relations act as a valuable resource in the formation of the organization’s social capital and raise its potential value as a legitimate business partner relative to NGOs with weak or few relations. These relations, however, are moderated b…
Beyond Good Intentions: Designing CSR Initiatives for Greater Social Impact
Are corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives providing the societal good that they promise? After decades of CSR studies, we do not have an answer. In this review, we analyze progression of the CSR literature toward assessing the performance of CSR initiatives, identify factors that have limited the literature’s progress, and suggest a new approach to the study of CSR that can overcome these limits. We begin with comprehensive bibliometr…
Environmental Management Practices and Performance in Canada
In this paper, a model of the determinants of environmental management practices and the impact of these practices on environmental performance is described and tested using Canadian manufacturing facility-level data. Our results show that Canadian manufacturing facilities have indeed undertaken environmental initiatives as a result of pressures arising from the buyers of their products and corporate headquarters. The relationship between environ…
Spillover Effects of Voluntary Environmental Programs on Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Lessons from Mexico
We compare the environmental performance of voluntary environmental programs (VEPs) with different attributes. Using club theory, we argue that the differential performance of VEPs is due in part to their specific design attributes that will either enhance or diminish their ability to improve both targeted and untargeted environmental impacts. We analyze two VEPs in Mexico, the global standard ISO 14001 and the local standard Clean Industry. Thes…
Voluntary Environmental Programs: A Canadian Perspective
In light of the increasing number of environmental problems necessitating government's attention and the limited scope and budget for addressing these issues, environmental protection has, and continues to evolve as more flexible approaches to regulation are being sought and embraced by governments throughout the world. Voluntary environmental programs (VEPs) are a pragmatic response by both governments and business to find a more flexible way to…
Stakeholder influences on sustainability practices in the Canadian forest products industry
We examined how managers' perceptions of different types of stakeholder influences in the Canadian forestry industry affect the types of sustainability practices that their firms adopt. Both influences involving withholding of resources by social and ecological stakeholders and those involving directed usage of resources from economic stakeholders were found to drive such practices. We found that the industry and its stakeholders have moved beyon…
La rentabilité des études collégiales
Considérant le choix de poursuivre des études collégiales comme une décision d'investissement, il est possible d'en évaluer le rendement. Les données du Recensement de 1981et l'Enquête sur les finances des consommateurs de 1982 permettent de calculer des profils de revenus pour quatre groupes de Québécois : les diplômés du secondaire et du postsecondaire, hommes et femmes. En considérant l'écart entre les revenus des deux types de diplômés, on pe…
