'Corporate purpose' has become a battleground for stakeholders' competing desires. Some argue that corporations must simply generate profit; others suggest that we must make them create social change.
Leading organization studies scholar Timothy Kuhn argues that this 'either/or' thinking dramatically oversimplifies matters: today's corporations must be many things, all at once.
Kuhn offers a bold new Communicative Theory of the Firm to highlight the authority that creates corporations' identities and activities. The theory provides a roadmap for navigating that battleground of competing desires to produce more responsive corporations.
