Five notable faculty research papers
"Correlating sustainability and financial performance: what measures matter?"

"A state-stewardship view on executive compensation."
Luc Renneboog and Hao Liang, TIAS School for Business and Society

"Exploring tourists' accounts of responsible tourism."
Adrew Crane et al., Schulich School of Business

"Does ownership matter for employee motivation when occupation is controlled for?"
Lotte Bogh Andersen and Lene Holm Pedersen, Copenhagen Business School
The public service motivation literature argues that public employees are more motivated than private employees to deliver public service for the benefit of society. But is this solely due to the fact that classical welfare services are predominant in the public sector?

Juliane Reinecke and Jimmy Donaghey, Warwick Business School
Using an exploratory case study of the governance response to the 2013 Rana Plaza disaster, this article examined how complementary capacities of production- and consumption-based actors generated coalitional power to enact meaningful change.
