Item type:Publication, Winning the ‘Right’ Way? Normative Perspectives on the Business-Government InterfaceIn light of recent mandatory human rights due diligence (mHRDD) legislation, many emerging economies face both an opportunity - for a competitive advantage should they meet the required human rights and environmental criteria - as well as a challenge - if they are unable to meet the requirements and are excluded from increasingly compliant global supply chains. This paper, therefore, makes three contributions to scholarship at the intersection of business and human rights (BHR) and international business (IB). First, we advance the literature on the governance of the global factory, by investigating the implications of mHRDD for emerging markets. Second, drawing from the institutional systems literature, we develop a conceptual framework to shed light on three additional factors pertaining to mHRDD implementation that have been largely overlooked, namely, 1) a minimum living wage, 2) a National Action Plan on BHR, and 3) a ‘smart-mix’ of adequate labour protections. Finally, drawing from the VIS framework proposed by Fainshmidt and colleagues (2018), we develop illustrative examples and propositions, before suggesting future research directions. Building upon extant IB and BHR literature, we argue for more normative scholarship on regulatory isomorphic pressures and propose that mHRDD may provide an opportunity to bridge the ‘great divide’ between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and BHR.Type:conference paperJournal:Academy of Management ProceedingsVolume:2026Issue:1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Extending the Continuum of Corporate Diplomacy: Insights for Effective Implementation of the SDGsDenoting several of the “grand challenges” of our times, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a framework for addressing large scale issues through collaborative action. Yet to date, progress on the SDGs has been limited, with effective mechanisms for implementation lacking. In this paper, I argue that corporate diplomacy can act as a tool to support more effective multinational enterprise (MNE) participation and implementation of the SDGs, however, must be reconsidered from a holistic perspective in order to facilitate meaningful change. This paper builds off the continuum of corporate diplomacy proposed by Michelle Westermann-Behaylo, Kathleen Rehbein and Timothy Fort, by proposing three possible extensions of proactive corporate diplomacy. By extending existing conceptions of corporate diplomacy to incorporate theoretical perspectives from business and human rights as well as political corporate social responsibility scholarship, this paper aims to contribute to the literature on grand challenges by providing new approaches to improve collaboration.Type:conference paperJournal:Academy of Management ProceedingsVolume:2022, No. 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
