Deviance from social norms has been extensively examined in recent strategy research, leaving the strategic implications of conformity largely unexplored. In this article, we argue that firms can elect to conform to a norm along two dimensions: compliance with the goal and level of commitment to the procedures. We then produce a typology of four norm-conforming behaviors, which allows us to isolate differentiated effects of conformity on firm reputation. We examine the corporate environmental disclosures of 90 U.S. firms and find that firms derive different reputational rewards depending on whether they conform to the goal or procedure dimension of the environmental transparency norm. In addition, the relationship between conformity and reputation is moderated by the firm’s prior reputation and the stringency of the normative environment.

By Karnani A, Garrette B, Kassalow J & Lee M, Stanford Social Innovation Review, Spring 2011
Several social enterprises are attempting to provide eye- glasses to the 500 million to 1 billion poor people in the world who need them. Some enterprises see the provision of trained optometrists as the key to solving the problem; others are focused on cost reduction; others still are focused on technological innovations. Why haven’t any of these approaches succeeded on a large scale?
Revisiting the intertwined history of pirate organizations and capitalism, L’Organisation Pirate (Au bord de l’eau), written by Rodolphe Durand and Jean-Philippe Vergne, will be available in bookstores in October 2010: www.organisationpirate.com.
Abstract (Fr)
Qu’est-ce qui relie entre eux les pirates des mers, les pirates informatiques et les biopirates ?
L’ouvrage répond à cette question en développant une perspective originale sur l’organisation des communautés pirates opérant en mer, sur le Net, ou au coeur de l’ADN. Ces territoires sont aussi ceux de l’expansion du capitalisme, c’est pourquoi ce livre défend l’idée que l’organisation pirate, loin d’être un accident de l’histoire, se trouve être en réalité l’une des forces essentielles qui structurent le capitalisme depuis ses origines. Ce livre raconte une histoire du capitalisme en adoptant le point de vue des pirates, afin de révéler la dynamique essentielle qui anime et nourrit l’évolution des sociétés humaines depuis la découverte de l’Amérique. Ce livre propose une théorie transhistorique de l’organisation pirate qui révèle la face cachée des sociétés capitalistes et permet d’expliquer une facette essentielle de leur évolution.
