TL;DR: For example, the authors argued that organizational phenomena are better understood if cognition and motivation are allowed to interact through framing effects, as organizationa l scholars have long argued, and developed the implications of this for Williamson's notion of the "impossibility of selective intervention".
Abstract: Economics in general, and the theory of the firm more specifically, places motivation and cognition in very different analytical boxes, in spite of cognitive science evidence that the boundaries between the two are in reality blurred. While this analytical assumption has often served the theory of the firm well, a number of organizational phenomena are better understood if cognition and motivation are allowed to interact, for example, through framing effects, as organizationa l scholars have long argued. The paper exemplifies by developing the implications of this for Williamson’s notion of the “impossibility of selective intervention.”

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the strategies of one of the pillars of this export success, the Hidden Champions, focusing on leading medium size companies identified by Hermann Simon in the early 1990s, and investigates their long-term progress over one decade.
Abstract: Despite mediocre macro-economic performance of the German economy, German companies are successful players in global trade. This article explores the strategies of one of the pillars of this export success, the Hidden Champions, Our empirical analysis focuses on leading medium size companies identified by Hermann Simon in the early 1990s, and investigates their long-term progress over one decade. We show that these companies continue to prosper with family ownership combined with professional external management, strategies of market leadership in global niches and a persistent focus on operational effectiveness. Scholars and business leaders, in particular of companies based in other high-cost countries, therefore ought to consider German companies as source for lessons on how to succeed in the global economy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider two complementary perspectives on the concept of corporate reputation and its relationship to success and credibility and conclude that supplementing the primarily "external" image orientation of the pragmatic perspective with the internal identity perspective of the reflective perspective can lead to increased corporate self-awareness, to an improved capability for reflecting on corporate identity, and to more realistic methods for measuring, evaluating, and reporting on the organization's impact on its stakeholders and society as a whole.
Abstract: It is fruitful to consider two complementary perspectives on the concept of corporate reputation and its relationship to success and credibility. The first of these can be said to be a managerial or pragmatic perspective. Its basis is economic rationality and it focuses on traditional notions of corporate success. It is primarily concerned with the qualities imputed to the corporation by its stakeholders and aims at protecting and improving corporate image. This pragmatic perspective on corporate reputation is having an increased effect upon the behavior of business leaders due to the growing expectations of employees, customers, investors, and the media — and is promoted and marketed by eager hordes of consultants and PR experts. The second perspective can be said to be a reflective perspective. It is existential or philosophical in nature and, in comparison with the pragmatic perspective, employs a broader repertoire of measures of corporate success and focuses on organizational identity rather than image. It is reflective rather than communicative in nature and is more concerned with the inherent ‘character’ of the organization rather than its outward appearance. This perspective does not receive nearly as much conscious leadership attention as the pragmatic perspective. Nevertheless, its focus on ‘what is’ and ‘what should be’ — rather than on ‘what appears to be’ — is rapidly becoming central to the theory and practice of leadership. This is evident in the increasing interest in such concepts as corporate social responsibility, corporate citizenship, and values-based leadership. This paper concludes that supplementing the primarily ‘external’ image orientation of the pragmatic perspective with the ‘internal’ identity perspective of the reflective perspective can lead to increased corporate self-awareness, to an improved capability for reflecting on corporate identity, and to more realistic methods for measuring, evaluating, and reporting on the organization's impact on its stakeholders and society as a whole — in other words, to an improved and more inclusive depiction of the enterprise and its performance which will be necessary for organizational viability and success.

TL;DR: In contrast to most studies of reputation ranking systems, the authors discusses the constitutive aspects of such systems and analyzes the mechanics used to construct them, thus making their procedures the object of research.
Abstract: In contrast to most studies of reputation ranking systems, this paper discusses the constitutive aspects of such systems. It analyzes the mechanics used to construct them, thus making their procedures the object of research. Based on a study of a Danish ranking system similar to the Fortune system, the authors suggest that reputation is sticky over time in spite of shifting ranking criteria and fragile statistical methods. We show that the ongoing development of an increasingly complex measurement system paradoxically becomes ‘more of the same’ and thus creates sticky reputation for large and visible companies.
