This document presents a plan to examine how organizational business history influences the development of corporate reputation from historical institutionalism perspective. In order to accomplish this task, this proposal has been delineated into seven sections.The first section introduces the study by taking a look at the trend in organizational business history and the anecdotal linkages between these phenomena. The review of literature in this part leads towards the conceptualisation of a number interrelated research questions, which will guide this research.The second section gives a brief insight into historical institutionalism and the third and fourth examines the methodology and data analytical methods to be deployed in the course of this study. Section five presents a research plan highlighting the publications that would be generated from this study. Section six gives a description of the contributions that would emerge from this research. The study ends in section seven with a summary of the issues discussed.

This paper examines a new inter-organizational form which is emerging from collaborative innovation processes within and across communities of firms operating in complementary markets. Idea sharing think tanks around high tech centers at leading universities and, more generally, around clusters, are well-documented phenomena. These inter-organizational processes and forms rest on collaborative capabilities. However, mainstream theories and even policies aimed at developing these capabilities are based on an incomplete set of assumptions about human nature, which constrain the very development of capabilities sought by them. The argument of this paper is that the sustainability of the processes and results of the emergent inter-organizational communities depends on a richer set of assumptions about human nature than that provided by mainstream management theories. The risks and demands involved in the design and operation of cross-organization collaborative communities require a challenging set of assumptions about human nature, which go far beyond the notion of enlightened self-interest embedded in neo-classical economics and even beyond the more complex models of human needs and motivation currently employed. Building on this argument and the evaluation of actual communities of firms, this paper contributes an inter-organizational network model based on the assumptions about human motives and choice offered by Aristotle. The conclusions of this paper are twofold. First, it argues that enlightened self-interest hinders rather than fosters the process of developing collaborative capabilities, given that this process will stop when difficulties affecting the pay-offs of the relationship arise in the short run. Second, it explains that a set of assumptions that takes both self-regarding and other' regarding preferences as ends is required in order to develop and sustain collaborative capabilities in the analyzed inter-organizational communities. Members of such communities have to understand and share these assumptions on a continuing basis in order to sustain their collaborative efforts and outcomes.

This paper attempts to make a conceptual analysis of the factors that trigger the development of generic corporate identity in business organizations. This objective is accomplished through a review of literature domicile with the disciplines of management, business studies and corporate communications. Thus, a number of factors including 1-mimetic isomorphism, 2-coercive isomorphism, 3-intelligence and behaviour, 4-corporate social responsibility, 5-corporate architecture and 6-multinational trade, are presented as factors activating this phenomenon. Consequently, these factors, which provide insights into the nature of generic corporate identity adds to the development of theory and increases a scholarly understanding of this phenomenon.

This paper shows how separation of ownership and control may arise as a response to overload costs, despite agency costs, and how conglomerates arise as solution to information asymmetries in capital markets. In a context where entrepreneurs have the ability to run projects and improve their future cash flow, there could be rationing of credit due to moral hazard between entrepreneurs and investors. Diversification could mitigate the moral hazard problem. However for a single entrepreneur running many different projects might be increasingly costly due to overload costs. Delegating the running of projects to several managers can not only reduce overload costs, but also the moral hazard problem of external financing. In this paper we show that delegation can be the only way to exploit the gains from diversification when overload costs of diversification are high; delegation thus is the key ingredient to be able to diversify.
