Corporate response to normative social pressure

Corporate response to normative social pressure
Corporate response to normative social pressure
This chapter explores corporate responses to normative social pressures. Normative pressures refer to socially derived expectations where a plurality of institutional demands tend to be combined. Here a distinction is made between willingness and ability of organizations to respond to normative pressures. The willingness derives from issue salience that refers to the extent to which a stakeholder issue resonates with and is prioritized by management. Coverage includes an examination of normative corporate corruption pressures, including responses to auditors, and perceived socio-economic conflict towards an attempted remaking of capitalism towards social acceptance.

Abstract

This chapter explores corporate responses to normative social pressures. Normative pressures refer to socially derived expectations where a plurality of institutional demands tend to be combined. Here a distinction is made between willingness and ability of organizations to respond to normative pressures. The willingness derives from issue salience that refers to the extent to which a stakeholder issue resonates with and is prioritized by management. Coverage includes an examination of normative corporate corruption pressures, including responses to auditors, and perceived socio-economic conflict towards an attempted remaking of capitalism towards social acceptance.
