This paper presents a study on the evolution of partnerships between social enterprises, organizations that are embedded in competing social and economic logics. Through longitudinal case studies of the interaction between four pairs of social enterprises operating in emerging economy settings, I analyze the factors which influence the evolution of knowledge transfer partnerships. Evidence from these case studies suggests that a variety of logics, not simply social and economic logics, were guides for organizational action, and that the extent to which these logics were aligned between firms determined the how firms managed the knowledge transfer process.

In this paper we focus on the association between stakeholder pressure and top management's sustainability orientation with organizational control choices. Building on stakeholder and organizational control literature, we propose that stakeholder pressure and top management's sustainability orientation both affect top management's choice of control mechanisms, in particular the use of non-financial performance indicators, the delegation of decision rights to middle managers and the use of cultural control mechanisms. Using survey data from 141 CEOs, our results indicate that stakeholder pressure and sustainability orientation are significant determinants of organizational control choices.

By looking at salience theory and dialogue, this paper argues that while a number of characteristics attributed to a stakeholder group matter in gaining managerial attention, the status of a group is the superordinate attribute that ultimately shapes managerial perceptions of salience. To pursue this argument, we highlight the economic and social roots that anchor managerial perceptions of status as a constructed reality to discuss the ways in which status matters to salience. In doing so, we offer a new definition of status. An empirical test using five years of shareholder resolutions data confirms that high status is a significant determinant of to whom and to what managers pay attention. We discuss the implications of this finding for future research.
