Institutions, Institutional Theory and Organizational Wrongdoing
Drugs, Sweat, and Gears: An Organizational Analysis of Performance-Enhancing Drug Use in the 2010 Tour de France
This paper seeks a more comprehensive explanation of wrongdoing in organizations by theorizing two underexplored causes of wrongdoing related to an organizational participant's embeddedness in formal organizational structures and informal peer relationships: the criticality of a person's role in their organization's division of labor, and their social ties to deviant peers within their organization and industry who vary with respect to their expe…
Organizational Myopia: Problems of Rationality and Foresight in Organizations
Organizations Gone Wild: The Causes, Processes, and Consequences of Organizational Misconduct
Although research on organizational misconduct has a long history and a recent increase in popularity, important questions are still unexplored. We review and critique research on misconduct with an emphasis on organizational causes. In addition to reviewing some active areas of research, we also examine less‐trodden areas and make suggestions for their development. We find that the definition of misconduct is often implicit and the role of socia…

Business and Health Care Policy Reform in the 1980s: The 50 States
This paper explores the causes and consequences of business involvement in health care reform. It uses the 50 U.S. states as its focus, analyzing a series of legislative initiatives popular in the 1980s. From an empirical standpoint, it builds on earlier work on business involvement in health care issues; from a theoretical standpoint, it aims to improve our understanding of business involvement in the policy-making process. It considers three th…
Lost in Space: The Geography of Corporate Interlocking Directorates
The article studies the causes of local and nonlocal interlocking directorates among the largest U.S. industrial corporations in 1964. The authors hypothesize that interlocks are spatial phenomena‐ with spatial attributes and spatial determinants. Consistent with this hypothesis, they find that local and nonlocal interlocks have different correlates. Further, three spatial structures influence interlocking: the location of a corporation's headqua…
The Friendly and Predatory Acquisition of Large U.S. Corporations in the 1960s: The Other Contested Terrain
Cet article etudie les rachats d'entreprise aux U.S.A. dans les annees 1960. Les mecanismes de concentration affectent l'organisation des entreprises et le monde des affaires. Ceux-ci sont de type predateur ou pacifiques. Ils dependent, d'une part, d'une strategie d'entreprise et de la position occupee par les differentes entreprises dans le reseau de dependance economique. Ils tiennent aussi aux situations specifiques des chefs d'entreprise dans…
The Finance Conception of Control--"The Theory That Ate New York?" Reply to Fligstein
reaffirm our conclusions, theoretical framework, and interpretation of results pertaining to acquisition of firms in 1960s, showing how Fligstein mischaracterizes each of these components of our paper. We maintain that our framework of organization analysis, which focuses on interests and capacities of corporate elites, is compatible with Fligstein's proposed institutional, historical approach. However, we contend that Fligstein's finance concept…
The geography of corporate production: Urban, industrial, and organizational systems
Corporations and the Urban Advanced Business Service Sector
This article analyzes interurban variation in one advanced service, management consulting, across large U.S. cities in 1963. Human ecologists assume advanced services fulfill a coordinative function in the metropolitan system. Consistent with this view, we found that: (1) metropolitan population size and distance to neighboring metropolitan areas were positively associated with a city's consulting activity, (2) the number of other large cities wi…
Intercorporate Relations: The Structural Analysis of Business
Within the last decade, researchers studying business organizations have come to realize that corporate behaviour cannot be explained in terms of the actions of individual firms alone, and that in order to understand how businesses operate it is necessary to explore the relationships among them. This volume constitutes the first compilation of work by leading international scholars who have adopted a structural approach to the study of business, …
The Ties That Bind: Organizational and Class Bases of Stability in a Corporate Interlock Network
We use the interorganizational and intraclass perspectives to examine how hypothesized causes and consequences of interlocking influence one stage in the process by which the interlock network connecting large U.S. corporations is reproduced over time-the reconstitution of disrupted ties. The results of our analysis suggest: 1) that only two of the organizational and class interests associated with interlocking in previous cross-sectional studies…
