Understanding the Organization of Green Activism
Environmental activists are an important voice in public and private politics, urging governmental and corporate responses and solutions to ongoing environmental damage. Scholars have become increasingly interested in understanding environmental movements and the influence of environmental activist organizations. This article describes two literatures that have analyzed the dynamics and outcomes of activism, one based in a sociological examinatio…
Technology stigma and secondary stakeholder activism
While researchers have recognized the importance of social movements for market emergence, we know little about the mechanisms through which mobilized secondary stakeholders trigger interest in new markets among incumbent firms. We investigate the possibility that social movements create and amplify a polluting technology stigma that leads incumbents to develop a stigma dilution strategy, which is associated with entering a new market. We also ex…
Taking aim at or making friends with the metaphysical theorists
Paul du Gay and Signe Vikkelso are upset with organizational theorists, and their new book, For Formal Organization, is the hammer they use to bludgeon the field. The first couple of chapters in th

All theoretical perspectives are welcome. Books in the series typically combine theory with empirica…

Social movement researchers began importing ideas from organization theory in the 1970s to account for the role of formal organizations, resources and strategic b…

Beyond the Boycott
Signals or Mixed Signals
Drawing on political opportunity theory, the theory of legislative logic, and political mediation theory, we hypothesize differential effects of the political environment on the actions of challengers (suffragists) and state actors (legislators) in the women's suffrage movement. We use sequential logistic regression to assess the effects of explanatory variables on two intermediate stages of mobilization and policy change. In the case of challeng…
