Download the presentation - 868.41 KB
Recent works document organizational scandals, revealing how they spread, contaminate associated organizations, taint the perception of entire fields, and affect competitive dynamics. We will discuss how scandals pave the way for moralizing discourses and practices, shake taken-for-granted assumptions about the conduct of organizations, and may result in a shift in the criteria used to evaluate organizations within the field, shaping regulation and the evolution of organizational fields.
