OpenAI and the new commons tragedy of artificial general intelligence (AGI): A micro-constitutional approach to governing AGI
On a par with shepherds that, motivated by personal gain, overexploit an open-access pasture resulting in its degradation, known as the tragedy of the commons, the race to build the first Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is overstretching safety boundaries exemplified by the reliability concerns associated with OpenAI's ChatGPT. In the worst case, this could lead to a rogue AGI or its monopolization by belligerent or for-profit interests res…
For a Unified Stakeholder Management Science: How Computational Ontologies Can Mend a Broken Theory
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 computational turn of mind outlined herein. Stakeholder scholarship has failed to progress toward thi…

Overhauling multinationals for the Anthropocene: How a rogue subsidiary offers a blueprint for sustainable development
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 recently dubbed Unilever's "rogue subsidiary," i.e., Ben & Jerry's, which could evolve into a turning po…
Bean-counting research and the mismanagement of knowledge production in business schools
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 havoc with business schools’ mission of knowledge production. The reduction of managing research to…
Mitigating health policy fragmentation through interlocks. The networks between American and Swiss public-private partnerships
The control of the policy advice industry: How patrons defer their decision-rights to think tank boards
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 that patrons are likely to control boards when the marginal benefit of partaking in decision-making…
Do candidates from non-profit organisations who adopt party political values improve their chances of electoral success
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 their prospects of success in running for election in local government. Their willingness to enter a pol…
Foundations in Switzerland: Between the American and the German Cases
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 show that despite the similarities to Germany in historical growth and to the United States in asset d…
Nonprofit Comparative Research: Recent Agendas and Future Trends
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 are identified as drivers of NPO research. This article conducts a correspondence analysis to study …
Transaction Cost Perspectives on Cooperation: A Study of Hybrids Through Foundations Lobbying in the EU
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 establish modes of coordination. This article explains how the concept of hybrids can be applied to rese…
EU Think Tank Fora as Transaction Cost Reducers: A Study of Informal Interest Intermediation in the EU
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) the risk of state capture, incentivise EU institutions to outsource part of the consultation activity …
