Black Women Managers And Participatory Action Research, Gloria Gordon Phd
Black Women Managers And Participatory Action Research, Gloria Gordon Phd
Gloria Gordon PhD
This paper informs on the work of an action research group set up to investigate the status and experiences of black women managers within an organisational context in the UK. It relates how the group rapidly becomes a ‘participatory’ action research group when it is recognised that the black women managers share the common perception that theirs’ is an experience of oppression and potential powerlessness in their organisational setting. Empowerment results as common experiences shared are identified also the immediate and longer term steps being taken towards their ‘emancipation’.

The Paradox Of Corporate Giving: Tax Expenditures, The Nature Of The Corporation, And The Social Construction Of Charity, Nancy J. Knauer
The Paradox Of Corporate Giving: Tax Expenditures, The Nature Of The Corporation, And The Social Construction Of Charity, Nancy J. Knauer
Nancy J. Knauer
Corporate charitable giving is big business. Fundraisers estimate that in 1992, U.S. corporations contributed $6 billion to qualified charitable organizations. Hard-pressed for funds, qualified charities actively seek and compete for corporate contributions. Fundraising literature identifies corporate giving as the last great frontier of philanthropy. Marketing literature touts corporate giving as the latest advertising and public relations technique. Both camps proclaim that corporate giving is good for business and extol the business advantages which flow from transfers to charity. In short, corporate giving means doing best by doing good. Legal scholarship ignores the way corporate giving is described, justified, and expressed …
Wage Bargaining With Time-Varying Threats, Peter Cramton, Joseph Tracy
Wage Bargaining With Time-Varying Threats, Peter Cramton, Joseph Tracy
Peter Cramton
We study wage bargaining in which the union is uncertain about the firm's willingness to pay and threat payoffs vary over time. Strike payoffs change over time as replacement workers are hired, as strikers find temporary jobs, and as inventories or strike funds run out. We find that bargaining outcomes are substantially altered if threat payoffs vary. If dispute costs increase in the long-run, then dispute durations are longer, settlement rates are lower, and wages decline more slowly during the short-run (and may even increase). The settlement wage is largely determined from the long-run threat, rather than the short-run threat.

The Determinants Of U.S. Labor Disputes, Peter Cramton, Joseph Tracy
Peter Cramton
We present a bargaining model of union contract negotiations, in which the union decides between two threats: the union can strike or continue to work under the expired contract. The model makes predictions about the level of dispute activity and the form the disputes take. Strike incidence increases as the strike threat becomes more attractive, because of low unemployment or a real wage drop during the prior contract. We test these predictions by estimating logistic models of dispute incidence and dispute composition for U.S. labor contract negotiations from 1970 to 1989. We find empirical support for the model's key predictions, …
Relational Investing And Agency Theory, Peter Cramton, Ian Ayres
Relational Investing And Agency Theory, Peter Cramton, Ian Ayres
Peter Cramton
This Article analyzes how, and when, corporate governance could be improved by utilizing "relational investing." The term relational investing is just coming into vogue and there does not yet seem to be a consensus on what it means. Although the term has been trumpeted on the cover of Business Week, before the Conference on Relational Investing at Columbia University, relatively little legal writing had been published on the subject. For the purposes of this Article, we define relational investing to encompass commitments to buy and hold significant blocks of a corporation's stock. And it is particularly important that the relational …
