Firm responses to secondary stakeholder action
研究了次要利益相关者群体在什么条件下能引发企业的积极回应，基于行动而非感知定义显著性，并分析了权力、合法性和紧迫性如何从利益相关者-请求-企业三元组中产生。
Abstract In this paper, we explore the conditions under which secondary stakeholder groups are likely to elicit positive firm responses. To this end, we build upon and advance Mitchell, Agle, and Wood's (1997) stakeholder saliency and identification framework by defining saliency in terms of actions, not perceptions, and by proposing that power, legitimacy, and urgency arise out of the nature of stakeholder–request–firm triplets. To test this framework, we build a unique dataset of over 600 secondary stakeholder actions within the United States, all concerning environmental issues over the period 1971–2003.
