Order without law? the role of certified management standards in shaping socially desired firm behaviors
分析认证管理标准（CMS）如何通过编码和认证两个要素，在规范失效的环境中塑造企业行为，同时指出这些要素也可能削弱执行过程，限制CMS的有效性。
Certified management standards (CMS), like norms, rely on decentralized enforcement processes to guide firm behaviors. I analyze how two elements of CMS—codification and certification—enable this institution to shape firm behaviors in settings where norms are ineffective. I further theorize that these same two elements limit the effectiveness of CMS by weakening enforcement processes. I contribute to institutional theory by identifying possibilities and limitations for normlike institutions to function beyond established boundary conditions.
