Abstract

We take a process perspective to review the literature on corporate responses to social activism and argue that theoretical advances have not kept pace with the extensive and expanding scope of the literature. We identify three critical assumptions in the literature, which we believe can be traced back to two overarching issues: a mechanistic conceptualization that ascribes limited reflexivity to managers and an overreliance on variance theorizing. In order to tackle these challenges and propel future research, we suggest a research agenda that revolves around an enhanced role for managerial reflexivity in theory development and a stronger emphasis on the process-oriented view of the relationship between activism and response.

企业对社会行动主义的回应:回顾与研究议程
我们从一个过程的角度来回顾关于企业对社会行动主义的反应的文献,并认为理论的进步没有跟上文献的广泛和不断扩大的范围。我们确定了文献中的三个关键假设,我们认为这些假设可以追溯到两个总体问题:将有限的反射性归因于管理者的机械概念化和过度依赖方差理论化。为了应对这些挑战并推动未来的研究,我们建议一个研究议程,围绕管理反身性在理论发展中的增强作用,并更加强调行动主义与反应之间关系的过程导向观点。
