Dear colleagues,

*** Apologies for any cross-postings ***

Are you interested in how institutional logics can help us to explain CSR? Are you interested in how institutional explanations of CSR can better incorporate power and values? Join us at this PDW in Anaheim!

"The 'institutional logics' turn in corporate social responsibility research: An opportunity to engage power and values"

Session Type: PDW Workshop

Program Session: 47

Submission: 13626

Sponsor:  Social Issues in Management (SIM)

Scheduled: Friday, August 5, 2016 8:00AM – 10:00AM at Anaheim Marriott: Newport Beach, Rancho Las Palmas

CSR scholars have recently begun to recognize the virtues of the institutional logics perspective. This perspective has been used to explain how multiple competing norms and values are adopted and reproduced by actors, thus redirecting the institutional analysis of CSR away from the study of sameness and stability to the study of variation and change. Amongst different streams of institutional research, the institutional logics perspective has come closest to the understanding of how culture, resources, and power structures interplay with organisational agency to shape organisational behaviour. Yet, there is little integrative explanation of how organisational agency is both externally and internally culturally and structurally embedded. In particular, it does not adequately address how power and values both embed and are embedded within agency and institutionalization processes. These are issues of prime interest for CSR researchers with institutional and critical perspectives. This PDW is organised to take advantage of the insights and discussions of these issues from within institutional research, and to bring these discussions into the CSR context.

The PDW features noted CSR and institutional researchers who will bring recent refinements in the institutional logics perspective, and other analytical and theoretical perspectives, in order to help CSR researchers utilize the institutional logics perspective in a more meaningful and fruitful way. Join us for the PDW in Anaheim to further discuss how values and power can be integrated into the institutional analysis of CSR and how this integration can be applied in fields other than SIM.
