Theoretical Advances in Stakeholder Governance

Scholars of strategic management, social issues in management, and organization management theory have recently undertaken efforts to develop a more stakeholder-centric perspective on governance. The purpose of this symposium is to support dialogue among participants across various scholarly fields to identify and enhance linkages, and discuss directions for further theoretical advancement in the broad domain of stakeholder governance. In this presenter symposium, four authors will present their scholarly papers and discuss their latest work and thinking on stakeholder governance. Subsequently, a discussant will identify commonalities and tensions across the presentations and incite a discussion among the speakers and attendees.
