Business Participation in Regulation
This paper conceptualizes how regulation is viewed in management studies in the context of business participation in regulation and explores its implications. We theorize six lenses through which management studies understand regulation: as competitive advantages, boundaries, forums, principles, systems, and cognitive frames. These partly overlapping lenses reveal distinct theoretical approaches to the motivations, strategies, and regulatory outc…

Introduction to the Special Issue on the Role of Place in Sustainability
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…

Necessity-driven circular economy in low-income contexts
Low-income informal sector contexts are rife in practices that retain value of materials and goods, but in the academic literature and policy debates these practices are seldom considered as part of the circular economy (CE). This is a major omission in CE discourse, as over 60 percent of the world’s employed population is in the informal sector and many of them make their living from circularity practices. Hence, our paper advances a globally co…

The state of international business, corporate social responsibility, and development
This chapter summarizes key themes and findings from research over the past decades, also considering its geographic foci (developed, developing, and/or emerging countries). Furthermore, noting that scholars are starting to explore the uptake of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by organizations in practice, frameworks are presented for understanding ways in which business (can) engage with the SDGs, elucidated by a cas…
Intermediary roles in regulatory programs
This paper develops a role‐based framework of intermediaries in regulatory programs. In examining the types of roles that organizations adopt in regulation and governance, we argue that roles have important implications for understanding organizational and program level dynamism and outcomes. We use the Regulator–Intermediary–rule‐Taker framework to describe how organizational roles can be adopted through assignment, appropriation, or promotion. …
