My research pertains to corporate social responsibility, corporate image, corporate strategy, organizational theory, business ethics, and globalization. I have published in two Financial Times 50 journals, including Organization Studies and Journal of Business Ethics, and book chapters at Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press.

Shawn Pope; Alwyn Lim The Governance Divide in Global Corporate Responsibility: Structuration and Regime Complexity in Reporting and Certification Frameworks, 1998-2017 Article de journal Organization Studies, 2019. @article{Alwyn2019, title = {The Governance Divide in Global Corporate Responsibility: Structuration and Regime Complexity in Reporting and Certification Frameworks, 1998-2017}, author = {Shawn Pope and Alwyn Lim}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1177/0170840619830131}, year = {2019}, date = {2019-03-14}, journal = {Organization Studies}, abstract = {In recent decades, as worldwide attention to corporate responsibility increased, the global corporate responsibility (GCR) movement did not converge on a singular governance model nor hybridize into myriad country-specific models. The movement, rather, bifurcated into onerous certification frameworks and more lax reporting frameworks. We examine this ‘governance divide’ in the GCR movement by investigating the cross-national diffusion of seven core GCR frameworks. We adopt a glocalization perspective that conceptualizes a vertical nesting of local and global contexts. Our cross-national quantitative analyses suggest that, while linkages to global culture have encouraged business participation in all GCR frameworks, power dependencies related to international trade and domestic factors related to effectiveness of local governance institutions have contributed to divergent diffusion patterns across reporting and certification frameworks. We discuss these findings in relation to several organizational perspectives and note their implications for further research on corporate responsibility.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } In recent decades, as worldwide attention to corporate responsibility increased, the global corporate responsibility (GCR) movement did not converge on a singular governance model nor hybridize into myriad country-specific models.

Pope Shawn; Patricia Bromley; Alwyn Lim; John W.

We draw upon neo-institutional theory in this paper to extend the argument: The arrival of organizational actorhood has precipitated a concomitant, cross-sectoral movement toward organizational social responsibility. Whereas existing research has tended to theorize the social responsibilities of businesses, we develop a pyramid conceptual schema to array the social responsibilities of nonprofits. We then document the coevolution of organizational actorhood and responsibility across both sectors with a metastudy of nearly 200 extant surveys. We chart the institutionalization of a slate of formal structures that express organizational actorhood (i.e., mission statements, vision statements, and strategic plans) and that profess and define organizational social responsibilities (i.e., core values, ethics codes, and responsibility communications). We close with implications and future directions for organizational studies and research on corporate social responsibility.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } Observers have noted that organizations in all sectors, whether business, nonprofit, or government, have been moving toward rationalized structures that presuppose and express empowered organizational actorhood.

Shawn Pope; Alwyn Lim International Organizations as Mobilizing Structures: World CSR Associations and their Disparate Impacts on Members’ CSR Practices Article de journal Social Forces, 95 (4), p. 1725-1756, 2017. @article{Lim2017, title = {International Organizations as Mobilizing Structures: World CSR Associations and their Disparate Impacts on Members’ CSR Practices}, author = {Shawn Pope; Alwyn Lim}, doi = {doi.org/10.1093/sf/sox023}, year = {2017}, date = {2017-04-04}, journal = {Social Forces}, volume = {95}, number = {4}, pages = {1725-1756}, abstract = {International organizations are key players in globalization, but not all international organizations influence global processes in the same ways. In this paper, we argue that differences in international organizations’ mobilizing structures can shape the extent to which these organizations can positively impact the practices of their members. We present the first comparative and quantitative assessment of world corporate social responsibility (CSR) associations that comprise business participants that act collectively to address pressing social and environmental concerns. We conduct time-series panel regression analyses of a unique dataset of business participation in three core world CSR associations and test their effects on business adoption of three major CSR frameworks and business performance across six major CSR evaluation schemes. Our findings reveal that world CSR associations with participatory structures, compared to those with honorific or convocational structures, more consistently encourage member businesses to adopt CSR policies and to achieve highly evaluated CSR practices. We discuss these results in relation to sociological and world society perspectives on international organizations as well as implications for future research on global corporate responsibility.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } International organizations are key players in globalization, but not all international organizations influence global processes in the same ways.
