Business behavior and public co-operation: a structural perspective

Article Abstract:

A foundation for good business behavior within the social and political context of the community is developed based on concepts of partnership, participation, and cooperation. Business cooperation with society, structural influences on public cooperation, and the feasibility of general models are discussed. A partial explanatory model is described, reflecting the types of institutional and structural factors: proximities facilitated by underlying social institutions; comprehensive, remedial transparency (visibility); threshold organizational continuities; and organizational positive size distributions. These factors may offer clues as to why certain industries adapt to change successfully, while others experience resistance and suffer conflict.
