Explanations of success and failure in management learning : What can we learn from Nokia's rise and fall

2016

International audience; In this paper, we study the changing explanations of success and failure over the course of a firm's history. We build on a discursive approach that highlights the role of narrative attributions in making sense of corporate performance. Specifically, we analyze how the Nokia Corporation was framed first as a success and later as a failure and how these dimensions of performance were explained in various actors' narrative accounts. In both the success and failure accounts, our analysis revealed a striking black-and-white picture that resulted in the institutionalization of Nokia's metanarratives of success and failure. Our findings also reveal a number of discursive a…

From state-owned smokestacks to post-industrial dreams : The Finnish government in business, 1970–2010

2020

While state-owned enterprises (SOEs) used to be considered obsolete tools for governmental intervention in the economy, in recent years governmental intervention in the business sector has re-emerged as a topic of debate. However, scholarship on the changes in and the modernisation of the SOE model is limited. In this article, we examine how the Finnish state’s ownership policy adapted to the requirements of economic globalisation between the 1970s and the 2010s. We show that the attitude towards globalisation was pragmatic and aimed at safeguarding the competitiveness of domestic companies. The state-owned company system was gradually adapted to meet new needs, losing most of its original …

Reputation, regulation and corporate governance as determinants of the improvement of non-financial information (NFI) reporting

2023

Many years have passed since corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the disclosure of non-financial information (NFI) aroused interest in very few organizations (Hąbek & Wolniak, 2016). Today, they are part of the main priorities for the most important companies in the world, and they are seen as an important part of the strategy due to the many benefits associated with them (Castilla-Polo & Sánchez-Hernández, 2020). In the last decades, it has become evident the relevance that NFI reporting has worldwide. It can be seen through the evolution of the issuance of this type of reports. In 2002, 45% of the G250 companies published a separate report, 20 years later, the numbers show that 96% …

Me niego a que la i griega pase a llamarse ye: los usuarios de Internet ante la ortografía y el diccionario de la Real Academia Española

2011

La recepción de las obras normativas académicas por parte de los medios de comunicación y por parte de especialistas en la materia suele ir acompañada de opiniones que aceptan o rechazan las innovaciones que estas proponen, creando mayor o menor polémica. En noviembre de 2010 los medios de comunicación del mundo hispánico presentaban un avance de la Ortografía de la lengua española de la Real Academia Española cuya reacción en las redes sociales no se hizo esperar, de tal manera que la prensa se haría eco de ella, muy pronto, como movimiento contrario a la obra académica. Este hecho resulta novedoso, pues ya no son solo los expertos e intelectuales los que opinan sobre las obras académicas,…

Deadlock in corporate governance: Finding a common strategy for private telephone companies, 1978–1998

2017

This paper looks at how a group of small, incumbent private telephone companies complied with the international convergence of market structures. The existing research has mainly focused on large national incumbents, assuming a transition to multinational enterprise. This development process is often associated with privatisation policies and various institutional factors. The article tests these assumptions using a case study of the network of Finnish local telephone companies. It looks at the development of an interfirm network, its perspectives on the different phases of the deregulation process, and how the network tried to regenerate itself but failed to form a unified corporate struct…

Multiple directorships of corporate boards and firm performance in India

2017

The purpose of the paper is to investigate, first, the association between multiple directorship assignments (busyness) undertaken by corporate directors and firm performance, second, whether endogenously determined limits of multiple directorships, highlighting the ownership structure and other institutional settings, explain the above association better than those by exogenously mandated by regulators and third, the association between the nature of busyness and firm performance. The study develops measures of busyness in the light of the agency and resource dependence theories. The spline regression technique is applied in order to reflect institutional settings of a large sample and sub…

Negatiivisen yritysvastuun vaikutus yritysvastuun hyvän hallintotapaan : case Stora Enso, UPM-Kymmene ja Metsäliitto

2017

Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on tarkastella onko negatiivinen yritysvastuu vaikuttanut suomalaisten metsäyritysten yritysvastuun hyvän hallintotavan käytäntöihin. Aiemmassa tutkimuksessa on todettu, että tätä aihetta ei ole tutkittu. Yritysvastuun hyvällä hallintotavalla tarkoitetaan niitä rakenteita (hallintomallia) ja käytäntöjä, joilla varmistetaan että yritysvastuu otetaan huomioon yrityksen koko toiminnassa. Aikaisemman tutkimuksen pohjalta muodostettiin yritysvastuun hyvän hallintotavan käytäntöjen viitekehys. Viitekehyksen avulla etsittiin kolmen case-yrityksen (Stora Enso, Metsäliitto (nykyisin nimeltään Metsä Group) ja UPM-Kymmene) vuosien 2006–2015 yritysvastuuraporteista yrity…
