TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated supplier and customer integration strategies in a global sample of 322 manufacturers and found that the widest degree of arc of integration with both suppliers and customers had the strongest association with performance improvement.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review various literature streams to develop a comprehensive model that covers research into the antecedents, moderators, and outcomes of organizational ambidexterity, defined as an organization's ability to be aligned and efficient in its management of today's business demands while simultaneously being adaptive to changes in the environment.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors hypothesize that private company financial reporting nevertheless is of lower quality due to different market demand, regulation notwithstanding, and a large UK sample supports this hypothesis, using Basu's (1997) measure of timely loss recognition and a new accruals-based method.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that TCE is "bad for practice" because it fails to recognize the difference between a market and an organization, and identify some of the sources of the organizational advantage.
Abstract: Transaction cost economics (TCE), and more specifically the version of TCE that has been developed by Oliver Williamson (1975, 1985, 1993b), has become an increasingly important anchor for the analysis of a wide range of strategic and organizational issues of considerable importance to firms. As argued by some of its key proponents, the theory aims not only to explain but also to influence practice (Masten, 1993). In this article, we argue that prescriptions drawn from this theory are likely to be not only wrong but also dangerous for corporate managers because of the assumptions and logic on which it is grounded. Organizations are not mere substitutes for structuring efficient transactions when markets fail; they possess unique advantages for governing certain kinds of economic activities through a logic that is very different from that of a market. TCE is “bad for practice” because it fails to recognize this difference. We identify some of the sources of the “organizational advantage” and argue for the ...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate whether superior performance on corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies leads to better access to finance and find that firms with better CSR performance face significantly lower capital constraints.
Abstract: We investigate whether superior performance on corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies leads to better access to finance. We hypothesize that better access to finance can be attributed to (1) reduced agency costs due to enhanced stakeholder engagement and (2) reduced informational asymmetry due to increased transparency. Using a large cross-section of firms, we find that firms with better CSR performance face significantly lower capital constraints. We provide evidence that both better stakeholder engagement and transparency around CSR performance are important in reducing capital constraints. The results are further confirmed using several alternative measures of capital constraints, a paired analysis based on a ratings shock to CSR performance, an instrumental variables approach, and a simultaneous equations approach. Finally, we show that the relation is driven by both the social and environmental dimension of CSR. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
