Hello!
Just a quick reminder that the virtual seminar series of the Alliance for Research on Corporate Sustainability (ARCS) will be hosting Sinziana Dorobantu (NYU Stern) on Feb 7th. She will present "Stakeholder Governance and the Institutional Environment". It is a great opportunity for all to learn about research-in-progress in corporate sustainability (the presentation is 20 mins long and Q&A is another 10 mins) and for all juniors out there (PhD students and junior faculty) to socialize with the speaker afterwards (the last 30 mins). Please find the abstract below:
Firms ensure the cooperation of stakeholders through governance mechanisms that coordinate stakeholders' resource contributions towards value creation and the allocation of this value. We provide a theoretical framework to explain how stakeholder governance mechanisms vary in different institutional environments around the world. Our framework combines insights from prior work on governance with a novel typology of institutional environments to predict how stakeholder governance mechanisms incorporate and complement existing features in the institutional environment defined by broader political and social structures.
Here is the list of the remaining speakers and dates of the virtual seminars (11am-12pm EST):
Mar 7 Lucca Berchicci (Rotterdam) is no longer available, instead we will host the President of ARCS, Caroline Flammer (lucky us!)
Apr 4 Vanessa Burbano (Columbia)
May 2 Hannah Schupfer (King's College, Ivey/ARCS PhD best paper award winner)
