Media coverage consistently features examples of organizations
engaging in unethical or illegal behavior. Given its potential to
impact and even damage established institutions, organizational
wrongdoing deserves to be closely monitored and more carefully
examined. Drawing attention to the theoretical and empirical
relevance of this topic, this second instalment in a double volume
of Research in the Sociology of Organizations focuses on the
consequences of organizational wrongdoing, the role of
whistleblowing, and methodological issues. Detailing the
ramifications of organizational wrongdoing, chapters in this second
volume examine the remedial actions that firms can take to recover
from wrongdoing, the so-called spill over effects of organizational
wrongdoing whereby ‘innocent’ firms are affected by the
misdeeds committed by others, as well as the valuable insights that
historical approaches can provide in studying organizational
wrongdoing. Taken individually as well as together, the two volumes
that comprise Organizational Wrongdoing as the “Foundational”
Grand Challenge provide a major touchstone for scholars interested
in understanding recent developments and exciting new directions in
the study of organizational wrongdoing.
This double volume presents a collection of 23 papers on how
institutions matter to socio-economic life. The effort was seeded
by the 2015 Alberta Institutions Conference, which brought together
108 participants from 14 countries and 51 different institutions.
The resulting papers delve deeply into the practical impact an
institutional approach enables, as well as how such research has
the potential to influence policies relevant to critical
institutional changes unfolding in the world today. In Volume 48A,
the focus is on the micro foundations of institutional impacts. In
Volume 48B, the focus is on the macro consequences of institutional
arrangements. Looking across the two volumes, there are multiple
theoretical, conceptual, methodological and practical points of
convergence and divergence. Overall, the volumes highlight the many
ways in which institutional processes and institutional researchers
can contribute to our understanding of the micro foundations and
macro consequences of institutions and their impacts on a wide
variety of globally pressing issues, while also identifying a
variety of fruitful directions for knowledge accumulation and
development.
How does organizations' embeddedness in broader social and cultural
communities influence their behavior? And how has this changed with
recent communication technology advances and globalization trends?
In this volume, we consider how diverse types of communities
influence organizations, as well as the associated benefit of
developing a richer accounting for community processes in
organizational theory. One goal of the volume is to move beyond the
focus on social proximity and networks that has characterized
existing work on communities. The papers in this volume consider
specific topics that expand the definition of community beyond
geography to include how transnational communities form and affect
organizations' perception, the development of a community-form
(C-form) organization as an important organizational architecture
for understanding twenty-first century business, and how virtual
communities influence key organizational processes. While there has
been a recent revival of research into the effects of both
geographic and non-geographic communities on organizational
behaviors, this volume is the first effort to bring both
perspectives together in order to aid in the identification of
common and disparate mechanisms across multiple types of
communities and how community as an organizing logic sits vis-a-vis
other logics related to the market, corporation, family and
religion.
Media coverage consistently features examples of organizations
engaging in unethical or illegal behavior. Given its potential to
impact and even damage established institutions, organizational
wrongdoing deserves to be closely monitored and more carefully
examined. Drawing attention to the theoretical and empirical
relevance of this topic, this first instalment in a double volume
of Research in the Sociology of Organizations consolidates and
extends knowledge of this important subject and highlights
potential directions for future research. Exploring the definitions
and antecedents of organizational wrongdoing, chapters in this
first volume probe the role of social control agents in drawing the
line between rightful and wrongful behavior, examine the mechanisms
and processes through which instances of wrongdoing turn into a
scandal, and consider the antecedents of organizational wrongdoing
which have received increasing attention in academic research in
recent years but that still deserve further analysis. Taken
individually as well as together, the two volumes that comprise
Organizational Wrongdoing as the “Foundational” Grand Challenge
provide a major touchstone for scholars interested in understanding
recent developments and exciting new directions in the study of
organizational wrongdoing.

This volume includes studies of organizations that deliver
professional services, including accounting, law, and management
consulting firms. These organizations are of importance for several
reasons: they underpin the modern economy, enabling economic
exchange; they constitute the 'intellect industry', developing and
disseminating new ideas; and, they are exemplars of
knowledge-intensive organizations. Contributors include researchers
from North America and Europe. This book series is available
electronically online.

Organizational Wrongdoing is an essential companion to
understanding the causes, processes and consequences of misconduct
at work. With contributions from some of the world's leading
management theorists, past theories on misconduct are critically
evaluated, and the latest research is introduced, expanding the
boundaries of our knowledge and filling in gaps highlighted in
previous studies. A wide range of unethical, socially
irresponsible, and illegal behaviors are discussed, including
cheating, hyper-competitive employee actions, and financial fraud.
Further multiple levels of analysis are considered, ranging from
individual to organization-wide processes. By providing a
contemporary overview of wrongdoing and misconduct, this book
provides solid and accessible foundations for established
researchers and advanced students in the fields of behavioral
ethics and organizational behavior.
