Capitalism works when actors are motivated to engage in joint value creation. Stakeholder theorists have long argued that this is most likely when firms “manage for stakeholders,” but have only recently explicitly recognized that stakeholders engaged in joint value creation face collective action problems: situations in which stakeholders may be tempted to pursue their own interest at the expense of maximizing joint value creation. We build on the work of Elinor Ostrom on solving collective action problems to develop theory about how to govern joint value creation when managing for stakeholders. Specifically, we use Ostrom’s design principles to contrast the hub-and-spoke form of governance central to much of the stakeholder literature with two alternative governance forms (lead role governance and shared governance) that we derive from Ostrom’s work, and we discuss the comparative effectiveness of these three governance forms as depending on the nature of the joint value creation activities. Our work contributes to stakeholder theory as an integrative perspective on the role of management and governance in fostering cooperation in modern capitalist systems, where joint value creation increasingly involves stakeholders outside the boundaries of the firm as traditionally understood. 当参与者有动力进行联合价值创造时,资本主义才能发挥作用。利益相关者理论学者长期以来认为,企业“为利益相关者管理”时最有可能出现这种情况,但只是最近才明确认识到,参与联合价值创造的利益相关者会面临集体行动问题:即利益相关者可能会为了追求自身利益而损害联合价值创造的最大化。我们以埃莉诺·奥斯特罗姆(Elinor Ostrom)关于解决集体行动问题的研究为基础,构建了一套理论,探讨在为利益相关者管理时如何治理联合价值创造。具体而言,我们运用奥斯特罗姆的设计原则,将利益相关者文献中核心的“中心辐射式”治理形式,与我们从奥斯特罗姆的研究中推导得出的两种替代治理形式(主导角色治理和共享治理)进行对比,并讨论这三种治理形式的相对有效性如何取决于联合价值创造活动的性质。我们的研究为利益相关者理论做出了贡献,将其作为一种整合视角,探讨管理和治理在现代资本主义体系中促进合作的作用——在这些体系中,联合价值创造越来越多地涉及传统意义上企业边界之外的利益相关者。
The need to reconsider how we theorize, teach, and practice stakeholder governance is compelling and pressing. Depending on the outcome, a theory of stakeholder governance could be among the most important theoretical—and deeply practical—contributions to the field of management in the 21st century. 重新思考我们如何构建利益相关者治理的理论、开展教学和实践,这一需求既迫切又必要。根据结果,利益相关者治理理论可能成为21世纪管理学领域最重要的理论贡献之一——并且具有深远的实践意义。

Capitalism works when actors are motivated to cooperate in the joint creation of value (Freeman, Martin, & Parmar, 2007; Freeman & Phillips, 2002; Jones, 1995). Stakeholder theorists have developed a rich body of literature arguing that managing according to the principles of stakeholder theory (in short, “managing for stakeholders”) fosters such cooperation (Bosse & Coughlan, 2016; Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016; Bundy, Vogel, & Zachary, 2018; Harrison, Bosse, & Phillips, 2010; Harrison & Wicks, 2013; Jones, 1995; Jones, Harrison, & Felps, 2018; Phillips, 当参与者有动力合作创造共同价值时,资本主义才能有效运作(Freeman, Martin, & Parmar, 2007; Freeman & Phillips, 2002; Jones, 1995)。利益相关者理论学者发展了大量文献,认为依据利益相关者理论原则进行管理(简而言之,“为利益相关者管理”)能够促进这种合作(Bosse & Coughlan, 2016; Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016; Bundy, Vogel, & Zachary, 2018; Harrison, Bosse, & Phillips, 2010; Harrison & Wicks, 2013; Jones, 1995; Jones, Harrison, & Felps, 2018; Phillips,
2003). However, stakeholder theory has only recently explicitly acknowledged that the problem of managing joint value creation is not just a problem of motivating stakeholders to cooperate, but one of motivating stakeholders to cooperate in the face of collective action problems (Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016; Klein, Mahoney, McGahan, & Pitelis, 2019). “Collective action problems” emerge when actors face situations in which there is a tension between their (short-term) self-interest and the (long-term) collective interest (Olson, 1965; Van Lange, Joireman, Parks, & van Dijk, 2013). This tension characterizes many of the most interesting problems related to value creation, including managing team production (Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016) and motivating firm-specific investments (Barney, 2018). 2003年)。然而,利益相关者理论只是在最近才明确承认,管理共同价值创造的问题不仅是激励利益相关者合作的问题,而且是在集体行动问题面前激励利益相关者合作的问题(Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016;Klein, Mahoney, McGahan, & Pitelis, 2019)。“集体行动问题”出现在行动者面临其(短期)自身利益与(长期)集体利益之间存在张力的情况时(Olson, 1965;Van Lange, Joireman, Parks, & van Dijk, 2013)。这种张力是许多与价值创造相关的最有趣问题的特征,包括管理团队生产(Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016)和激励企业特定投资(Barney, 2018)。
Much of the theorizing about how managing for stakeholders helps obtain stakeholders’ cooperation conceptualizes the relationship between a firm and its stakeholders in terms of a hub-and-spoke model— with the focal firm and its managers as the hub and the stakeholders as spokes that are only related to the hub, as opposed to also being related to each other (Freeman, Harrison, Wicks, Parmar, & De Colle, 2010; Neville & Menguc, 2006; Rowley, 1997). This hub-and-spoke model implies a form of governance in which managers are the ultimate decision-makers on governance matters (Jones, 1995), and thus assumes managerial authority as the primary mechanism to obtain stakeholders’ cooperation (see also Phillips, Berman, Elms, & Johnson-Cramer, 2010). Explicitly recognizing the collective action problems inherent in joint value creation leads to the question of whether the hub-and-spoke model is the only or best approach to governing the interactions among the stakeholders involved in joint value creation. One reason to question this is that, in modern knowledge-intensive economies, joint value creation increasingly involves stakeholders that are outside the boundaries of the firm as traditionally understood, such as customers, suppliers, or local communities (Raab & Kenis, 2009). Assuming that (as opposed to explaining why) managers have authority over these outside stakeholders is even more problematic than making the same assumption about “inside” stakeholders, such as employees. 关于如何通过利益相关者管理获得利益相关者合作的诸多理论,将企业与其利益相关者之间的关系概念化为一种中心辐射模型——以核心企业及其管理者为中心,利益相关者为仅与中心相关的辐条,而非彼此之间也存在关联(Freeman, Harrison, Wicks, Parmar, & De Colle, 2010; Neville & Menguc, 2006; Rowley, 1997)。这种中心辐射模型意味着一种治理形式,其中管理者是治理事务的最终决策者(Jones, 1995),因此将管理权威视为获取利益相关者合作的主要机制(亦见 Phillips, Berman, Elms, & Johnson-Cramer, 2010)。
明确认识到联合价值创造中固有的集体行动问题,就会引出这样一个问题:中心辐射模型是否是管理联合价值创造所涉利益相关者之间互动的唯一或最佳方法。质疑这一点的一个原因是,在现代知识密集型经济体中,联合价值创造越来越多地涉及传统上理解的企业边界之外的利益相关者,例如客户、供应商或当地社区(Raab & Kenis, 2009)。假设(而非解释为何)管理者对这些外部利益相关者拥有权威,比就“内部”利益相关者(如员工)做出同样假设更成问题。
To address the question of how to govern the interactions among the stakeholders involved in joint value creation activities so as to ensure cooperation in the face of collective action problems, we build on the work of Elinor Ostrom (Ostrom, 1990, 2000; Poteete, Janssen, & Ostrom, 2010; Wilson, Ostrom, & Cox, 2013). Meta-analyzing a large number of case studies of communities that succeeded or failed to sustain cooperation, Ostrom derived design principles for governing cooperation in the face of collective action problems. Based on these design principles, we identify, detail, and contrast three different governance forms that can be used to realize the benefits of joint value creation when managing for stakeholders: the traditional “hub-and-spoke” approach of extant stakeholder theory, and two forms of governance derived from Ostrom’s work that we will refer to as “lead role governance” and “shared governance.” Among others, these three forms require and sustain different types of trust, imply markedly different roles for managers, and will be effective for different types of joint value creation. 为解决如何管理参与联合价值创造活动的利益相关者之间的互动,以确保在集体行动问题面前实现合作这一问题,我们借鉴了埃莉诺·奥斯特罗姆(Elinor Ostrom,1990、2000;Poteete、Janssen & Ostrom,2010;Wilson、Ostrom & Cox,2013)的研究成果。通过对大量成功或未能维持合作的社区案例研究进行元分析,奥斯特罗姆推导出了在集体行动问题面前管理合作的设计原则。基于这些设计原则,我们识别、详述并对比了三种不同的治理形式,这些形式可用于在管理利益相关者时实现联合价值创造的收益:现有利益相关者理论中的传统“中心辐射”方法,以及两种源自奥斯特罗姆研究的治理形式,我们将其分别称为“主导角色治理”和“共享治理”。此外,这三种形式需要并维持不同类型的信任,对管理者的角色有显著不同的暗示,并且适用于不同类型的联合价值创造。
Hence, we make three contributions. The first is to further develop stakeholder theory as a perspective on capitalism. If collective action problems are the common denominator in many of the market frictions (Mahoney & Qian, 2013) studied in the economically oriented management literature, then a stakeholder theory grounded in the work of Ostrom presents itself as a natural candidate for a more integrative understanding of the governance of cooperation in a successful capitalist system. Our second contribution is to use Ostrom’s work to identify different viable governance forms and to contrast them in terms of how they help solve the collective action problems that stakeholders face when they engage in joint value creation. The stakeholder literature has long argued that, because stakeholders have different goals, the job of managers is to balance stakeholders’ interests (Freeman, 2010; Freeman et al., 2010). Our message is that balancing stakeholders’ interests in the face of collective action problems can be accomplished with at least two other governance forms than the one usually assumed in the hub-and-spoke representation of the firm. Our third contribution is to use Ostrom’s work to detail how these forms differ from the huband-spoke form and to derive contingency variables that specify when each form is likely to be most effective, so that managers can better choose among them. 因此,我们提出了三点贡献。第一点是进一步发展利益相关者理论,将其作为一种资本主义视角。如果集体行动问题是经济导向的管理文献中研究的许多市场摩擦的共同根源(Mahoney & Qian,2013),那么基于奥斯特罗姆(Ostrom)研究成果的利益相关者理论自然成为理解成功资本主义体系中合作治理的更具整合性视角的候选理论。我们的第二个贡献是运用奥斯特罗姆的研究成果,识别不同可行的治理形式,并对比它们如何帮助解决利益相关者在参与联合价值创造时面临的集体行动问题。利益相关者文献长期以来认为,由于利益相关者目标不同,管理者的职责是平衡利益相关者的利益(Freeman,2010;Freeman et al.,2010)。我们的观点是,在面对集体行动问题时,平衡利益相关者利益至少可以通过两种不同于企业中心辐射型(hub-and-spoke)通常假设的治理形式来实现。我们的第三个贡献是运用奥斯特罗姆的研究成果,详细说明这些形式与中心辐射型形式的差异,并推导出权变变量,以明确每种形式在何时最有可能发挥最大效用,从而帮助管理者更好地在这些形式中做出选择。
MANAGING FOR STAKEHOLDERS AS SOLVING COLLECTIVE ACTION PROBLEMS
作为解决集体行动问题的利益相关者管理
Managing for Stakeholders
利益相关者管理
Stakeholder theory has consistently argued that capitalism works when actors are motivated to jointly create value and to trade (Freeman, Martin, & Parmar, 2007; Freeman & Phillips, 2002). While “trade” refers to buying and selling goods and services, “joint value creation” refers to “value creation processes involving multiple parties, within or across the firm’s boundaries, who face high task and outcome interdependence in providing mutually supportive contributions to value creation” (Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016: 231). These multiple parties are a subset of the firm’s “essential stakeholders”—that is, stakeholders without which the firm would struggle to survive (Clarkson, 1995; Tantalo & Priem, 2016). Some of these stakeholders are individuals, others are organizations (Harrison et al., 2010). For the sake of clarity, and because management research is typically interested in how the managers of a specific firm can encourage cooperation, we reserve the label “firm” for that focal firm and call all other organizations involved in joint value creation “stakeholders.” Importantly, in modern knowledge-intensive economies, the stakeholders involved in joint value creation are increasingly likely to be parties that are outside of the boundaries of the firm as traditionally understood (Raab & Kenis, 2009), such as suppliers and customers involved in innovation. 利益相关者理论一直认为,当行为体有动力共同创造价值并进行交易时,资本主义才能有效运作(Freeman, Martin, & Parmar, 2007;Freeman & Phillips, 2002)。虽然“交易”指的是买卖商品和服务,但“共同价值创造”指的是“涉及多个参与方的价值创造过程,这些参与方在企业边界之内或之外,在提供相互支持的价值创造贡献时面临高度的任务和结果相互依存”(Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016: 231)。这些多方是企业“关键利益相关者”的子集——即没有他们企业将难以生存的利益相关者(Clarkson, 1995;Tantalo & Priem, 2016)。这些利益相关者中有些是个人,有些是组织(Harrison et al., 2010)。为了清晰起见,并且因为管理研究通常关注特定企业的管理者如何鼓励合作,我们将“企业”一词保留给该焦点企业,并将所有其他参与共同价值创造的组织称为“利益相关者”。重要的是,在现代知识密集型经济体中,参与共同价值创造的利益相关者越来越可能是传统上理解的企业边界之外的实体(Raab & Kenis, 2009),例如参与创新的供应商和客户。
Of course, stakeholder theory embraces the idea of fostering cooperative relations that extend beyond traditional firm boundaries; it has even been argued that “stakeholder theory’s raison d’etre is to understand managerial behavior regarding actors typically seen as outside the firm’s direct control” (Phillips, Barney, Freeman, & Harrison, 2019: 4, emphasis added). In fact, the central proposition of stakeholder theory is that firms that take the interests of all their stakeholders into account—in short, firms “managing for stakeholders” (Freeman, Harrison, & Wicks, 2007)—are best able to foster the cooperative relationships necessary for joint value creation and trade (Freeman, 1984; Freeman et al., 2010; Phillips, 2003). Much of the stakeholder literature consists of theorizing about why managing for stakeholders leads to more stakeholder cooperation and value creation than either an arm’s-length approach, in which relationships with stakeholders are seen as competitive and managed based on power differences (Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2014, 2016; Harrison et al., 2010; Harrison & Wicks, 2013; Jones et al., 2018), or a shareholder primacy approach, in which managers view the maximization of shareholder value as the ultimate objective and the relationships with other stakeholders as means to achieve this end (Jones, Felps, & Bigley, 2007). The central mechanism in most of this theorizing is the superior ability of stakeholder-oriented firms to gain stakeholders’ trust (Bosse, Phillips, & Harrison, 2009; Harrison et al., 2010; Harrison & Wicks, 2013; Jones, 1995; Wicks, Berman, & Jones, 1999). 当然,利益相关者理论包含培养超越传统企业边界的合作关系这一理念;甚至有人认为“利益相关者理论的存在理由是理解管理者针对通常被视为超出企业直接控制范围的行为体的管理行为”(Phillips, Barney, Freeman, & Harrison, 2019: 4,强调部分为原文添加)。事实上,利益相关者理论的核心命题是,那些考虑到所有利益相关者利益的企业——简而言之,即“为利益相关者管理”(Freeman, Harrison, & Wicks, 2007)的企业——最有能力培养联合价值创造与交易所需的合作关系(Freeman, 1984; Freeman et al., 2010; Phillips, 2003)。大部分利益相关者文献都在理论化探讨,为何“为利益相关者管理”比两种方法更能促进利益相关者合作与价值创造:一种是“手臂长度”(arm’s-length)方法,即把与利益相关者的关系视为竞争性关系,并基于权力差异进行管理(Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2014, 2016; Harrison et al., 2010; Harrison & Wicks, 2013; Jones et al., 2018);另一种是股东至上(shareholder primacy)方法,即管理者将最大化股东价值视为最终目标,而将与其他利益相关者的关系视为实现这一目标的手段(Jones, Felps, & Bigley, 2007)。在大多数这类理论化探讨中,核心机制是利益相关者导向型企业具有获得利益相关者信任的卓越能力(Bosse, Phillips, & Harrison, 2009; Harrison et al., 2010; Harrison & Wicks, 2013; Jones, 1995; Wicks, Berman, & Jones, 1999)。
Joint Value Creation: The Delicate Engine of Capitalism
共同价值创造:资本主义的精妙引擎
While stakeholder theory has long emphasized the importance of cooperative relations with stakeholders for both joint value creation and trade, stakeholder theorists have only recently acknowledged that cooperation in joint value creation is much less self-evident than cooperation in trade (Barney, 2018; Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016; Klein et al., 2019). Cooperation, by definition, refers to an actor’s behavior that benefits a recipient (another actor or a collective) and that is selected because of its beneficial effect on the recipient, rather than this effect being an unintended by-product (West, Griffin, & Gardner, 2007). To the actor, cooperation could be immediately beneficial, costly, or costly in the short term but beneficial in the long term (West et al., 2007). When cooperation is immediately beneficial to the actor as well as to the recipient, as it is in discrete sale transactions (Etzioni, 1998), their interests are aligned. In its pure form, this is what trade is about: because both parties to a market transaction immediately benefit, the price mechanism is enough to motivate them to cooperate (Bowles & Gintis, 2011). 虽然利益相关者理论长期以来强调与利益相关者建立合作关系对于共同价值创造和贸易的重要性,但利益相关者理论家直到最近才认识到,共同价值创造中的合作远不如贸易中的合作那么不言而喻(Barney, 2018; Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016; Klein et al., 2019)。根据定义,合作是指一个行为体的行为使接受者(另一个行为体或集体)受益,并且这种行为是因为其对接受者的有益效果而被选择的,而不是这种效果是意外的副产品(West, Griffin, & Gardner, 2007)。对行为体而言,合作可能立竿见影有益,也可能代价高昂,或者短期内代价高昂但长期有益(West et al., 2007)。当合作对行为体和接受者都立竿见影有益时(如在离散的销售交易中,Etzioni, 1998),他们的利益是一致的。在纯粹的形式中,这就是贸易的本质:因为市场交易的双方都能立即受益,价格机制就足以激励他们进行合作(Bowles & Gintis, 2011)。
In contrast, the immediate interest alignment facilitating trade is missing for joint value creation: because of their task or outcome dependence, actors involved in joint value creation face collective action problems that may undermine cooperation (Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016; Klein et al., 2019). Collective action problems, also called social dilemmas, arise in all situations in which (a) actors’ outcomes depend in part on the actions of the other actor(s) involved, and (b) the actors’ interests conflict to some degree (Balliet & Van Lange, 2013). In these situations, the collective action problem is that noncooperation is tempting because it yields superior (often short-term) outcomes for the individual actors, but, if many actors do not cooperate, all are (often in the longer term) worse off (Olson, 1965; Van Lange et al., 2013). 相比之下,促进贸易的直接利益对齐在联合价值创造中却缺失:由于参与者的任务或成果相互依赖,参与联合价值创造的行为体面临集体行动问题,这可能会破坏合作(Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016; Klein et al., 2019)。集体行动问题,也被称为社会困境,出现在所有这样的情境中:(a)行为体的成果部分取决于其他参与行为体的行动,并且(b)行为体的利益在某种程度上存在冲突(Balliet & Van Lange, 2013)。在这些情境中,集体行动问题在于,不合作具有诱惑力,因为它能为个体行为体带来更优(通常是短期)的成果,但如果许多行为体都不合作,那么所有人最终(通常是长期来看)都会处境更糟(Olson, 1965; Van Lange et al., 2013)。
Stakeholders face several types of collective action problems when engaging in joint value creation. First, joint value creation activities regularly take the form of give-some dilemmas: situations in which an action that has negative consequences for the self (e.g., employees “giving” extra effort for tasks that are not rewarded) leads, if performed by enough of the actors involved, to positive consequences for the collective (e.g., happier customers and a better organizational culture) (Van Lange et al., 2013). Two give-some dilemmas have been discussed in relation to stakeholders: (1) the team production problem and (2) the asset-specialization dilemma. 利益相关者在参与联合价值创造时会面临几种集体行动问题。首先,联合价值创造活动通常呈现为“付出困境”:即对自身有负面后果的行动(例如员工为未获奖励的任务付出额外努力),若足够多的参与者实施该行动,会对集体产生正面后果(例如客户更满意、组织文化更优)(Van Lange等人,2013)。与利益相关者相关的两种付出困境已被讨论:(1)团队生产问题和(2)资产专业化困境。
In team production activities, resources belonging to multiple stakeholders are used to create value, and the value creation potential of the resources together is more than the sum of the value each cooperating resource would create separately (Alchian & Demsetz, 1972). Team production has the potential of creating more value because stakeholders contribute resources to one another’s tasks (Ethiraj & Garg, 2012; Thompson, 1967), such as when investors make capital available to fund activities, or because stakeholders work jointly on tasks (Van de Ven, Delbecq, & Koenig, 1976), such as when investors advise managers and customers participate in open innovation. In team production situations, stakeholders are vulnerable to others pursuing their individual, short-term interests by free riding on the team effort, and this can make stakeholders reluctant to cooperate in order to avoid being exploited (Adler, 2001; Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016; Klein et al., 2019; Lindenberg & Foss, 2011; McCarter & Northcraft, 2007; Ouchi, 1979, 1980). 在团队生产活动中,属于多个利益相关者的资源被用来创造价值,这些资源共同的价值创造潜力大于每个合作资源单独创造的价值之和(阿尔奇安和德姆塞茨,1972)。团队生产具有创造更多价值的潜力,因为利益相关者会为彼此的任务贡献资源(埃西拉吉和加格,2012;汤普森,1967),例如投资者提供资金以资助活动,或者因为利益相关者共同完成任务(范德文、德尔贝克和科尼格,1976),例如投资者为管理者提供建议以及客户参与开放式创新。在团队生产情境中,利益相关者容易因他人利用团队努力谋取个人短期利益而受到损害,这可能会使利益相关者不愿合作以避免被剥削(阿德勒,2001;布里杜和斯图尔霍斯特,2016;克莱因等人,2019;林登伯格和福斯,2011;麦卡特和诺斯克拉夫特,2007;大内,1979,1980)。
The team production problem often comes in combination with the asset-specialization dilemma (Hoskisson, Gambeta, Green, & Li, 2018; McCarter & Northcraft, 2007; Wang, He, & Mahoney, 2009; Zeng & Chen, 2003). For example, a supplier may invest substantially in adapting its technology to enhance the quality of an end product, or a local community can provide infrastructures dedicated to the production of that end product. Specializing their resources to the resources controlled by others leaves stakeholders vulnerable to being exploited when changing circumstances require renegotiation of the division of the value that is jointly created. This is because specialized resources are, by definition, significantly less valuable in other exchange or production relationships (Williamson, 1975, 1985). As a consequence of this hold-up risk, stakeholders may be reluctant to specialize their resources, even if they know that doing so would benefit joint value creation (Hoskisson et al., 2018; Zeng & Chen, 2003). 团队生产问题常与资产专用性困境相伴出现(Hoskisson, Gambeta, Green, & Li, 2018;McCarter & Northcraft, 2007;Wang, He, & Mahoney, 2009;Zeng & Chen, 2003)。例如,供应商可能大幅投入技术改造以提升最终产品质量,或者当地社区可提供专门用于生产该最终产品的基础设施。将自身资源专门化以适配他人控制的资源,会使利益相关者在环境变化需要重新协商共同创造的价值分配时,极易受到剥削。这是因为专用性资源,根据定义,在其他交换或生产关系中价值会大幅降低(Williamson, 1975, 1985)。由于存在这种套牢风险,利益相关者可能不愿专门化其资源,即便他们知道这样做会有利于共同价值创造(Hoskisson et al., 2018;Zeng & Chen, 2003)。
In addition to give-some dilemmas, stakeholders involved in joint value creation activities also face take-some dilemmas: situations in which an action that benefits the self in the short term leads to a negative outcome for the collective, and sometimes the self, in the long term (Van Lange et al., 2013). A classic example is the overharvesting of a communal resource such as a fish stock or forest that eventually leads to its destruction (Ostrom, 1990). In the context of firms, value appropriation is such a dilemma: in the short term, it is beneficial for stakeholders to appropriate as much as possible of the value created jointly, yet, if all stakeholders act like this, there may not be sufficient profit left to invest in the maintenance and development of the communal resources that are needed to create value in the future (Barney, 2018). 除了面临“给予”困境外,参与共同价值创造活动的利益相关者还面临“索取”困境:一种情况是,短期内对自身有利的行动会导致集体(有时也包括自身)在长期面临负面结果(Van Lange等人,2013)。一个典型例子是对公共资源(如鱼群或森林)的过度开采,最终导致资源枯竭(Ostrom,1990)。在企业环境中,价值攫取就是这样一种困境:短期内,利益相关者尽可能多地攫取共同创造的价值是有利的,但如果所有利益相关者都这样做,未来创造价值所需的公共资源的维护和开发可能就没有足够的利润来投入(Barney,2018)。
Finally, in joint value creation activities, stakeholders also face hybrid collective action problems, which combine give-some and take-some dilemmas (McCarter, Budescu, & Scheffran, 2011). Such hybrid dilemmas often exist in relation to the maintenance and exploitation of communal resources such as the firm’s reputation. The firm’s reputation is a public good involving a give-some dilemma, in the sense that stakeholders that have invested little in building it still benefit when the firm’s reputation allows it to sell products and services at higher prices. As a result, some stakeholders may be tempted to enjoy the benefits of the firm’s reputation without contributing to building it. At the same time, the firm’s reputation is also a common-pool resource involving a take-some dilemma that can be damaged if stakeholders behave in ways that get bad press (Barnett & 最后,在联合价值创造活动中,利益相关者还面临混合集体行动问题,这些问题结合了“付出型”和“索取型”困境(McCarter, Budescu, & Scheffran, 2011)。此类混合困境通常与公共资源(如企业声誉)的维护和开发相关。企业声誉是一种公共物品,涉及“付出型”困境:那些对声誉建设投入较少的利益相关者,仍能在企业声誉使其以更高价格销售产品和服务时获益。因此,一些利益相关者可能会试图享受企业声誉的好处却不为此贡献。同时,企业声誉也是一种公共池塘资源,涉及“索取型”困境——如果利益相关者的行为引发负面新闻,声誉可能受损(Barnett &
King, 2008), as illustrated by the reputational damage to Western fashion firms when their suppliers in developing countries violate basic human rights. 金,2008年),这一点从西方时尚企业的声誉受损中可见一斑——当它们在发展中国家的供应商侵犯基本人权时。
To sum up, in contrast to trade, joint value creation involves collective action problems. While these problems come in many flavors, their common feature is that some stakeholders may be tempted not to cooperate because it individually benefits them in the short term, while joint value creation is higher when all stakeholders do cooperate (McCarter et al., 2011). These collective action problems make joint value creation a much more delicate engine of capitalism than trade. And yet it is a necessary engine, simply because most products and services that are traded require joint value creation to be produced. 综上所述,与贸易相比,联合价值创造涉及集体行动问题。尽管这些问题有多种表现形式,但它们的共同特征是,一些利益相关者可能会因为短期内个人受益而不愿合作,而当所有利益相关者都进行合作时,联合价值创造的规模会更大(McCarter等人,2011)。这些集体行动问题使得联合价值创造成为一种比贸易更加微妙的资本主义引擎。然而,它又是一个必要的引擎,仅仅因为大多数被交易的产品和服务都需要通过联合价值创造才能生产出来。
Ostrom’s Design Principles
奥斯特罗姆的设计原则
If stakeholder theory is about managing for stakeholders, and if managing for stakeholders means overcoming the collective action problems inherent in joint value creation, then the work of Elinor Ostrom (Ostrom, 1990, 2000, 2010; Ostrom, Gardner, & Walker, 1994; Poteete et al., 2010; Wilson et al., 2013) presents itself as a natural candidate for further developing the concept of managing for stakeholders (Klein et al., 2019). Over a life-long career, Ostrom distilled her Nobel Prize-winning insights about how to solve collective action problems by meta-analyzing field work on communities managing communal resources such as fisheries and forests (Ostrom, 1990), and by conducting laboratory experiments (see, e.g., Ostrom et al., 1994). She showed that collectives, which she labeled “communities,” sometimes succeed in solving collective action problems by self-organizing and using “complex, layered, nuanced mechanisms of coordination, collaboration, and communication” (Klein et al., 2019: 12). While Ostrom initially focused on take some dilemmas, in later work (Poteete et al., 2010; Wilson et al., 2013), she generalized her insights to all collective action problems. That Ostrom’s core theoretical insights hold for social dilemmas other than take-some dilemmas is not surprising: some of the common-pool resources Ostrom studied in the field were not natural resources but man-made resources (e.g., irrigation systems), which means that, in addition to facing a take some dilemma, the communities managing these resources were also facing give-some dilemmas for the provision and the maintenance of these resources (Ostrom et al., 1994). 如果利益相关者理论是关于为利益相关者进行管理,而“为利益相关者进行管理”意味着克服联合价值创造中固有的集体行动问题,那么埃莉诺·奥斯特罗姆(Elinor Ostrom)的研究(Ostrom, 1990, 2000, 2010;Ostrom, Gardner, & Walker, 1994;Poteete et al., 2010;Wilson et al., 2013)自然成为进一步发展“为利益相关者进行管理”这一概念的候选(Klein et al., 2019)。在其毕生职业生涯中,奥斯特罗姆通过对社区管理渔业和森林等公共资源的实地研究进行元分析(Ostrom, 1990),并开展实验室实验(例如,Ostrom et al., 1994),提炼出她获得诺贝尔奖的关于如何解决集体行动问题的见解。她表明,那些被她称为“社区”的集体有时能够通过自我组织并运用“复杂、分层且细致的协调、协作和沟通机制”(Klein et al., 2019: 12)成功解决集体行动问题。虽然奥斯特罗姆最初关注的是“take some”困境(注:此处原文“take some dilemmas”可能为笔误或术语,保留原表述),但在后来的研究中(Poteete et al., 2010;Wilson et al., 2013),她将自己的见解推广到了所有集体行动问题。奥斯特罗姆的核心理论见解适用于除“take some”困境之外的其他社会困境,这并不令人惊讶:奥斯特罗姆在实地研究中考察的一些公共资源并非自然资源,而是人造资源(例如灌溉系统),这意味着管理这些资源的社区除了面临“take some”困境外,还面临着为这些资源的供应和维护而产生的“give some”困境(Ostrom et al., 1994)。

最终输出(严格按要求,不含注释):
如果利益相关者理论是关于为利益相关者进行管理,而“为利益相关者进行管理”意味着克服联合价值创造中固有的集体行动问题,那么埃莉诺·奥斯特罗姆(Elinor Ostrom)的研究(Ostrom, 1990, 2000, 2010;Ostrom, Gardner, & Walker, 1994;Poteete et al., 2010;Wilson et al., 2013)自然成为进一步发展“为利益相关者进行管理”这一概念的候选(Klein et al., 2019)。在其毕生职业生涯中,奥斯特罗姆通过对社区管理渔业和森林等公共资源的实地研究进行元分析(Ostrom, 1990),并开展实验室实验(例如,Ostrom et al., 1994),提炼出她获得诺贝尔奖的关于如何解决集体行动问题的见解。她表明,那些被她称为“社区”的集体有时能够通过自我组织并运用“复杂、分层且细致的协调、协作和沟通机制”(Klein et al., 2019: 12)成功解决集体行动问题。虽然奥斯特罗姆最初关注的是“take some”困境,在后来的研究中(Poteete et al., 2010;Wilson et al., 2013),她将自己的见解推广到了所有集体行动问题。奥斯特罗姆的核心理论见解适用于除“take some”困境之外的其他社会困境,这并不令人惊讶:奥斯特罗姆在实地研究中考察的一些公共资源并非自然资源,而是人造资源(例如灌溉系统),这意味着管理这些资源的社区除了面临“take some”困境外,还面临着为这些资源的供应和维护而产生的“give some”困境(Ostrom et al., 1994)。
Mapping the rules used across many communities that succeeded or failed in sustaining cooperation over time, Ostrom realized that these rules vary markedly across cases because sustaining cooperation requires rules that are adapted to the specific characteristics of the collective action problems, the culture of the participants, and the economic and political setting in which the community is embedded (Ostrom, 1990). So, rather than looking further for specific rules, Ostrom identified eight general design principles that explain the success of communities confronted with collective action problems in formulating specific, locally adapted rules that lead to high levels of cooperation (Ostrom, 1990, 2000; Wilson et al., 2013). These design principles specify (a) how to devise rules that community members are willing to voluntary commit to (design principles 13); (b) how to ensure compliance to these rules (design principles 46); and (c) how higher levels of governance should be organized in order to enable communities to achieve (a) and (b) (design principles 7 and 8). 通过梳理众多成功或失败维持长期合作的社区所遵循的规则,奥斯特罗姆(Ostrom)发现这些规则在不同案例中存在显著差异,因为维持合作需要根据集体行动问题的具体特征、参与者的文化以及社区所处的经济和政治环境来调整规则(Ostrom, 1990)。因此,奥斯特罗姆没有进一步寻找具体规则,而是确定了八项通用设计原则,这些原则解释了社区在面对集体行动问题时如何制定具体的、适应本地情况的规则,从而实现高水平的合作(Ostrom, 1990, 2000; Wilson et al., 2013)。这些设计原则具体包括:(a)如何制定社区成员愿意自愿遵守的规则(设计原则13);(b)如何确保对这些规则的遵守(设计原则46);以及(c)如何组织更高层级的治理结构,以帮助社区实现(a)和(b)(设计原则7和8)。
Ostrom’s insights have been validated by experimental work in behavioral economics and social psychology for various types of social dilemmas (Van Lange et al., 2013). Applications of her ideas to organizations include the work of Klein et al. (2019), who built on Ostrom to discuss the adaptation of governance to changes in the firm’s institutional environment; Barnett and King (2008), who used 奥斯特罗姆的见解已被行为经济学和社会心理学领域针对各类社会困境的实验研究证实(Van Lange等人,2013)。她的思想在组织中的应用包括Klein等人(2019)的研究,他们以奥斯特罗姆的理论为基础,探讨了治理对企业制度环境变化的适应;以及Barnett和King(2008)的研究,他们运用
Ostrom’s ideas to discuss the capacity of firms within an industry to develop self-regulatory institutions; and Deakin (2012), a law scholar, who described modern corporations as commons, contrasting this view with shareholder primacy. Here, we use Ostrom’s work to ask how firms that choose to manage for stakeholders can govern joint value creation. As a first step, Table 1 applies Ostrom’s design principles to joint value creation. In the remainder of the paper, we use her work to theorize about different governance forms that can help solve the collection problems inherent in joint value creation. Specifically, we identify, detail, and compare three governance forms that can be used to govern the interactions among stakeholders involved in joint value creation when managing for stakeholders. 奥斯特罗姆的观点是讨论行业内企业发展自我监管机构的能力;而法律学者迪金(2012)将现代企业描述为公共资源,将这一观点与股东至上主义进行了对比。在这里,我们运用奥斯特罗姆的研究来探讨选择为利益相关者管理的企业如何治理联合价值创造。作为第一步,表1将奥斯特罗姆的设计原则应用于联合价值创造。在本文的其余部分,我们将利用她的研究对不同的治理形式进行理论化分析,这些治理形式有助于解决联合价值创造中固有的集体行动问题。具体而言,我们识别、详述并比较了三种治理形式,这些形式可用于在为利益相关者管理时治理参与联合价值创造的利益相关者之间的互动。
IDENTIFYING STAKEHOLDER GOVERNANCE FORMS
识别利益相关者治理形式
The term “governance form” refers to a set of rules that support cooperation among actors by defining who has decision-making authority over the accumulation, development, and allocation of resources (who decides?), who monitors and sanctions so that conflicts of interests are resolved in favor of joint value creation (who controls?), and how the value created jointly is distributed (who gets what?) (Klein et al., 2019). Some rules are formal agreements and give rise to control and reporting systems that can include incentive systems and documented dispute resolution procedures (Alvarez, Pilbeam, & Wilding, 2010). Other rules are informal and include norms and conventions that can arise from the interactions themselves and become the “dos and don’ts that one learns on the ground” (Alvarez et al., 2010; Kiser & Ostrom, 2000; Klein et al., 2019; Ostrom, 1999: 38). “治理形式”这一术语指的是一套规则,这些规则通过明确谁拥有资源积累、开发和分配的决策权(谁做决定?)、谁进行监督和制裁以解决利益冲突并有利于共同价值创造(谁控制?)以及如何分配共同创造的价值(谁得到什么?)来支持行为体之间的合作(Klein等人,2019)。一些规则是正式协议,会产生控制和报告系统,其中可能包括激励机制和有记录的争议解决程序(Alvarez、Pilbeam和Wilding,2010)。其他规则是非正式的,包括规范和惯例,这些规范和惯例可能源于互动本身,并成为“在实地学到的行为准则”(Alvarez等人,2010;Kiser和Ostrom,2000;Klein等人,2019;Ostrom,1999:38)。

FIGURE 1 The Three Stakeholder Governance Forms
图1 三种利益相关者治理形式
governance relationships. 治理关系。
We use the term “stakeholder governance form” to make clear that we are studying the set of rules that organizes the interactions among stakeholders regardless of whether stakeholders are inside or outside the boundaries of the firm as traditionally understood. This implies a broader view than is common in the corporate governance literature, where the main concern is with the interactions among stakeholders that are “inside” to the firm (managers, employees, and shareholders) and where the focus is often on the governance of managers—shareholders relationships (Amis et al., 2020). Also, note that, while a governance form tends to co-evolve with the operational activities in which the stakeholders are involved, operational linkages and governance interactions among stakeholders are not the same thing and do not necessarily mirror each other: stakeholders connected in the arena of operations could be unconnected in the governance arena and vice versa. 我们使用“利益相关者治理形式”这一术语,以明确我们研究的是组织利益相关者之间互动的一系列规则,无论这些利益相关者是在传统意义上企业边界之内还是之外。这意味着我们的视角比公司治理文献中常见的视角更为宽泛,后者主要关注“内部”利益相关者(管理者、员工和股东)之间的互动,且往往聚焦于管理者与股东关系的治理(Amis等人,2020)。此外,需要注意的是,尽管治理形式往往会与利益相关者参与的运营活动共同演变,但运营联系与利益相关者之间的治理互动并非同一事物,也不一定相互映射:在运营领域有联系的利益相关者,在治理领域可能并无联系,反之亦然。
The Hub-and-Spoke Governance Form
枢纽-辐射治理模式
Stakeholder theory has traditionally thought about a firm’s relations with its stakeholders in terms of a hub-and-spoke model (Freeman, 1984; Freeman, 利益相关者理论传统上从中心辐射模型(Hub-and-Spoke Model)的角度来思考企业与利益相关者的关系(Freeman, 1984; Freeman,
Harrison, & Wicks, 2007). In this model, the firm (and its managers) is the “hub” and each of the stakeholders is at the end of a “spoke” (see Figure 1a). One implication of the model is that managing for stakeholders takes the form of managing a series of independent, dyadic relationships between the firm and each of its stakeholders. Much of the literature on the benefits of managing for stakeholders assumes such a form of governance, in the sense that it reasons in terms of what managers can do to positively influence stakeholders’ perceptions of their relationship with the firm, as opposed to their perceptions of their relationships with the broader set of stakeholders involved in joint value creation (e.g., Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2014; Harrison et al., 2010; Jones, 1995; Jones et al., 2018).1 Harrison and Wicks, 2007). In this model, the firm (and its managers) is the “hub” and each of the stakeholders is at the end of a “spoke” (see Figure 1a). One implication of the model is that managing for stakeholders takes the form of managing a series of independent, dyadic relationships between the firm and each of its stakeholders. Much of the literature on the benefits of managing for stakeholders assumes such a form of governance, in the sense that it reasons in terms of what managers can do to positively influence stakeholders’ perceptions of their relationship with the firm, as opposed to their perceptions of their relationships with the broader set of stakeholders involved in joint value creation (e.g., Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2014; Harrison et al., 2010; Jones, 1995; Jones et al., 2018).1
A second implication of the hub-and-spoke model as a governance form is that it assumes (albeit often implicitly) that the firm’s managers have some form of authority (i.e., legitimate power) over stakeholders: managers are assumed to have “the freedom or capacity to act according to stakeholder theory’s moral and instrumental prescriptions” (Phillips et al., 2010: 176). In particular, even if some of the literature has argued that managing for stakeholders should include giving a voice to stakeholders in the decision-making process (Harrison et al., 2010), managers are seen as the actors making decisions related to the nature of the relationships with stakeholders and the division of value (Freeman, 1984; Jones, 1995).2 Given this implicit assumption about managers having authority over stakeholders, the hub-and-spoke form essentially invokes a central authority (in this case, the authority of the firm’s managers) as the solution to the collective action problems inherent in joint value creation. 作为一种治理形式,枢纽-辐射模型的第二个含义是,它(尽管往往是隐含地)假设企业管理者对利益相关者拥有某种形式的权威(即合法权力):管理者被假定拥有“根据利益相关者理论的道德和工具性规定采取行动的自由或能力”(Phillips et al., 2010: 176)。特别是,尽管一些文献认为管理利益相关者应包括在决策过程中赋予利益相关者发言权(Harrison et al., 2010),但管理者仍被视为决定与利益相关者关系性质及价值分配的行动者(Freeman, 1984; Jones, 1995)。2 鉴于这种关于管理者对利益相关者拥有权威的隐含假设,枢纽-辐射形式本质上援引了一个中央权威(在这种情况下,即企业管理者的权威)作为解决联合价值创造中固有的集体行动问题的方案。
The fundamental question that flows from recognizing the central role of collective action problems in joint value creation is whether a governance form that revolves around exercising managerial authority in a set of independent, dyadic relationships is the only or best way to overcome these collective actions problems—especially when joint value creation involves stakeholders outside of the boundary of the firm as traditionally understood. We answer this question below, after using Ostrom’s work to identify two alternative forms of governance that can be used to manage for stakeholders. 从认识到集体行动问题在联合价值创造中的核心作用这一角度出发,最根本的问题是:一种围绕在一组独立的二元关系中行使管理权威而构建的治理形式,是否是解决这些集体行动问题的唯一或最佳方式——尤其是当联合价值创造涉及传统意义上企业边界之外的利益相关者时。我们将在下文借助奥斯特罗姆(Ostrom)的研究来识别两种可用于管理利益相关者的替代治理形式后,回答这一问题。
Lead Role Governance and Shared Governance Forms
主导角色治理与共享治理形式
Both the stakeholder literature and the work of Ostrom give us reason to consider other forms of governance than the hub-and-spoke form. First, stakeholder theorists have pointed out the limitations of both the dyadic view of stakeholder relations and the implicit assumption that managers can exercise authority over stakeholders that characterize the hub-and-spoke form. Criticizing the dyadic view, scholars studying networks of stakeholders have emphasized the importance of also studying interactions among stakeholders (Neville & Menguc, 2006; Rowley, 1997). And, going against the assumption that managers have authority over stakeholders, some of the most cited work in stakeholder theory has argued that powerful stakeholders can influence managerial behavior (Frooman, 1999; Mitchell, Agle, & Wood, 1997). Assuming managerial authority may be warranted when the power differential in the manager—stakeholder relationship is very much in favor of the managers or the firm, as is often the case for individual employees and sometimes the case for suppliers, as illustrated by Nike’s capacity to discipline shoe manufacturer in its value chain in the face of scandals about human rights violations by these manufacturers (Phillips et al., 2010). However, this assumption is problematic when actors are roughly equally dependent on each other to create value, or when the power differential is in stakeholders’ favor (Frooman, 1999). This may be the case for some internal stakeholders, such as large shareholders, as well as for outside stakeholders such as large suppliers and customers. 利益相关者文献和奥斯特罗姆的研究都让我们有理由考虑除了中心辐射式治理形式之外的其他治理形式。首先,利益相关者理论学者指出了二元利益相关者关系视角以及隐含的管理者能够对利益相关者行使权威这一假设的局限性——这正是中心辐射式治理形式的特征。研究利益相关者网络的学者批评二元视角,强调还需研究利益相关者之间的互动(Neville & Menguc, 2006;Rowley, 1997)。此外,与管理者对利益相关者拥有权威这一假设相悖的是,利益相关者理论中一些被广泛引用的研究认为,有影响力的利益相关者能够影响管理行为(Frooman, 1999;Mitchell, Agle, & Wood, 1997)。当管理者与利益相关者之间的权力差异明显偏向管理者或企业时,假设管理者拥有权威可能是合理的——这种情况在个体员工中经常出现,有时在供应商中也会出现,例如耐克在其价值链中的制鞋制造商因违反人权丑闻而受到其约束的能力(Phillips et al., 2010)。然而,当行为体之间为创造价值而相互依赖程度大致相当时,或者权力差异偏向利益相关者时,这一假设就存在问题(Frooman, 1999)。这种情况可能适用于一些内部利益相关者(如大股东),也适用于外部利益相关者(如大型供应商和客户)。
Second, it is important to note that Ostrom saw her own work as a crucial complement to the traditional solutions to solving collective problems in economic theory: privatization and centralization (Ostrom, 2010). When she started her work, the prevailing view among economists was that there were only two possible solutions for collective action problems. The first was to put the control of resources in private hands, and the second was to put the control of resources in the hands of a central authority. Ostrom’s fundamental contribution was to show that there is a third way of addressing collective action problems: by putting resources in the hands of a collective and governing this collective on the basis of certain design principles. 其次,需要注意的是,奥斯特罗姆认为她自己的研究是对经济学理论中解决集体问题的传统方案(私有化和集中化)的重要补充(Ostrom, 2010)。当她开始研究时,经济学家中普遍的观点是,集体行动问题只有两种可能的解决方案:第一种是将资源控制权交给私人,第二种是将资源控制权交给中央权威。奥斯特罗姆的核心贡献在于证明存在第三种解决集体行动问题的方式:将资源控制权交给集体,并基于某些设计原则对该集体进行治理。
Together, the counterpoints to the hub-and-spoke view in stakeholder theory and Ostrom’s own insistence that her work offers an explicit alternative to solving collective action problems by way of a central authority (in this instance, the firm’s managers) give us good reason to consider other forms of governance than the hub-and-spoke. Based on her case studies of local communities, Ostrom’s alternative to a central authority, “community governance,” can take two forms, which we will refer to as the “lead role governance form” and the “shared governance form.” When applied to firms, these forms differ in terms of the centrality of the firm and its managers in the governance of stakeholders’ interactions, and in terms of the extent of the interactions among stakeholders with regard to governance (Figure 1). Both forms resonate with examples from the literature on stakeholder networks; while this literature has not discussed governance as such, it has explicitly studied interactions among stakeholders (Garriga, 2009; Rowley, 1997). 综合来看,利益相关者理论中对中心辐射型观点的反对,以及奥斯特罗姆本人坚持其研究为解决集体行动问题提供了一种明确的替代方案(在本例中,即企业管理者),这让我们有充分理由考虑除中心辐射型之外的其他治理形式。基于她对地方社区的案例研究,奥斯特罗姆提出的替代中心权威的“社区治理”可分为两种形式,我们将其称为“主导角色治理形式”和“共享治理形式”。当应用于企业时,这两种形式在企业及其管理者在利益相关者互动治理中的核心地位,以及利益相关者之间在治理方面的互动程度上存在差异(图1)。这两种形式都与利益相关者网络文献中的案例相呼应;尽管该文献并未直接讨论此类治理,但它明确研究了利益相关者之间的互动(Garriga, 2009;Rowley, 1997)。
An example of the lead role governance form is the Nestlé Nespresso AAA sustainable quality program described by Alvarez et al. (2010). This program included assessing the sustainability practices of farms and designing a continuous improvement process. The program was driven by Nespresso but developed in collaboration with green coffee suppliers (traders and farmers) and the Rainforest Alliance, an NGO mostly active in the environmental certification for agricultural production. An essential ingredient of the program was an explicit intention to build relationships among the various stakeholders. To achieve this, governance mechanisms that were mostly informal at the beginning became more formalized over time. Both to ensure more consistency and to deal with a growing number of stakeholders, the very intense and frequent communication among all parties in the initial stage morphed into planned activities in the second stage, when field visits and meetings around industry events were organized. As a result of this program, Nestlé Nespresso was able to secure and increase the supply of high-quality coffee, the NGO Rainforest Alliance successfully extended its certification activities in the coffee industry, and the coffee traders and farmers got a premium price for their coffee. 雀巢Nespresso的AAA可持续质量计划是主导角色治理形式的一个例子,这一计划由阿尔瓦雷斯等人(2010)描述。该计划包括评估农场的可持续性做法以及设计持续改进流程。该计划由雀巢公司推动,但与绿色咖啡供应商(贸易商和农民)以及主要活跃于农业生产环境认证的非政府组织雨林联盟合作制定。该计划的一个关键要素是建立各利益相关方之间关系的明确意图。为实现这一点,最初大多是非正式的治理机制随着时间的推移变得更加正式化。为了确保更高的一致性并应对日益增多的利益相关方,各方在初始阶段非常密集和频繁的沟通在第二阶段演变为有计划的活动,此时组织了实地考察和围绕行业活动的会议。由于该计划,雀巢Nespresso能够确保并增加高质量咖啡的供应,非政府组织雨林联盟成功扩大了其在咖啡行业的认证活动,咖啡贸易商和农民也获得了其咖啡的溢价。
An example of the shared governance form is described in Garriga’s (2009) study of a project to build a new gas network in Argentina in 20052007. The project was initiated by “Gas-Nat,” a large gas distributor in Argentina, and involved 98 stakeholders, among which were customers, financial and credit institutions, technical suppliers, insurance suppliers, local NGOs, health institutions, religious organizations, local authorities, national regulating authorities, and local mass media.3 An important role that Gas-Nat played in achieving cooperation was to encourage direct connections among stakeholders. Gas-Nat and 25 other stakeholders set up an organizational structure with three bodies: (1) a legislative body wherein 46 stakeholders met every three months to discuss problems and issues, and where the main decisions were made by a voting system based on a simple majority rule; (2) a small working group that met weekly and implemented the decisions of the legislative body; and (3) an advisory body made up of eight professionals who provided advice on technical questions to the other two bodies. Garriga (2009: 629) noted that, in all three bodies, “the communication was open and uncensored, and issues were dealt [with] in a democratic manner without any type of control or influence from either Gas-Nat or any other stakeholders.” As a result of this project, Gas-Nat was able to distribute gas in a poor locality that had a great potential for growth for Gas-Nat but where no commercial program had succeeded before. People in this poor locality, in turn, gained access to a basic commodity and the local government delivered on its electoral promise to supply natural gas. 共享治理形式的一个例子在加里加(2009)对2005-2007年阿根廷一个新建天然气网络项目的研究中有所描述。该项目由阿根廷大型天然气分销商“Gas-Nat”发起,涉及98个利益相关方,其中包括客户、金融信贷机构、技术供应商、保险供应商、地方非政府组织、卫生机构、宗教组织、地方当局、国家监管机构和地方大众媒体。3 Gas-Nat在促进合作方面发挥的一个重要作用是鼓励利益相关方之间建立直接联系。Gas-Nat与其他25个利益相关方建立了一个由三个机构组成的组织结构:(1)一个立法机构,其中46个利益相关方每三个月开会讨论问题和议题,主要决策通过基于简单多数规则的投票系统做出;(2)一个小型工作组,每周开会并执行立法机构的决策;(3)一个由八名专业人士组成的咨询机构,为其他两个机构提供技术问题方面的建议。加里加(2009:629)指出,在所有三个机构中,“沟通是开放且未经审查的,问题以民主方式处理,不受Gas-Nat或任何其他利益相关方的任何形式的控制或影响。”由于该项目,Gas-Nat能够在一个对其具有巨大增长潜力但此前没有任何商业项目成功的贫困地区分发天然气。反过来,该贫困地区的民众获得了基本商品的使用权,地方政府也兑现了其供应天然气的选举承诺。
CHARACTERIZING THE THREE STAKEHOLDER GOVERNANCE FORMS
三种利益相关者治理形式的特征
We next compare the hub-and-spoke form with these two alternative forms of governance on the basis of Ostrom’s design principles 2 to $6 ^ { 4 }$ (see Table 2). In addition, we consider two variables that are central to stakeholder theory: the role of managers and the nature and role of trust. 我们接下来根据奥斯特罗姆的设计原则2至6(见表格2),将轮辐式结构与这两种替代治理形式进行比较。此外,我们还考虑了利益相关者理论中的两个核心变量:管理者的角色,以及信任的本质和作用。
Who Makes Governance-Related Decisions?
谁做出与治理相关的决策?
In the hub-and-spoke form, there are few direct governance-related interactions among stakeholders because governance occurs through and by the firm and its managers in relatively independent, dyadic firmstakeholder relationships (e.g., Harrison et al., 2010; Jones et al., 2018). In each of these dyadic governance relationships, the firm’s managers claim the right to make the governance-related decisions. When stakeholders accept the hub-and-spoke governance form, they target their influence tactics at the firm’s managers. If stakeholders often ally with other stakeholders to weigh in on governance-related issues, using what Frooman (1999) described as indirect influence strategies, stakeholders are factually moving governance away from the hub-and-spoke form by creating direct governance-related connections with other stakeholders. 在中心辐射(hub-and-spoke)模式下,利益相关者之间直接的治理相关互动较少,因为治理是通过企业及其管理者在相对独立的二元企业-利益相关者关系中进行的(例如,Harrison等人,2010;Jones等人,2018)。在每一种这种二元治理关系中,企业管理者声称有权做出治理相关决策。当利益相关者接受中心辐射式治理模式时,他们会将影响力策略针对企业管理者。如果利益相关者经常联合其他利益相关者参与治理相关问题,采用Frooman(1999)所述的间接影响策略,那么利益相关者实际上是通过与其他利益相关者建立直接的治理相关联系,将治理从中心辐射模式中转移出来。
In contrast, governance in the shared governance form works in a highly decentralized, bottom-up, and collective fashion, in line with Ostrom’s design principle 3. Stakeholders are all connected in the governance arena and make governance-related decisions on a relatively equal basis: all participate and have a relatively equal say in the final decisions, even if stakeholders vary in terms of the resources they control and their contribution to joint value creation. In this respect, this form resembles direct democracy and can be linked to the debate about the benefits and costs of a stakeholder democracy, which extends decision-making to employees (Harrison & Freeman, 2004; Kerr, 2004; Matten & Crane, 2005) or customers (Edinger-Schons, Lengler-Graiff, Scheidler, Mende, & Wieseke, 2020). 相比之下,共享治理模式下的治理以高度分散、自下而上且集体的方式运作,这符合奥斯特罗姆的设计原则3。利益相关者在治理领域相互关联,并在相对平等的基础上做出与治理相关的决策:所有人都参与其中,并且在最终决策中拥有相对平等的话语权,即使利益相关者在他们所控制的资源以及对共同价值创造的贡献方面存在差异。在这方面,这种模式与直接民主相似,并且可以与关于利益相关者民主的利弊的讨论联系起来,该讨论将决策范围扩大到员工(Harrison & Freeman, 2004; Kerr, 2004; Matten & Crane, 2005)或客户(Edinger-Schons, Lengler-Graiff, Scheidler, Mende, & Wieseke, 2020)。
TABLE 2 Characteristics of the Three Stakeholder Governance Forms
表2 三种利益相关者治理形式的特征

Note: DP $=$ design principle. 注:DP = 设计原则。
Finally, in the lead role governance form, the firm’s managers take a leadership role in the governance activities. Like the shared governance form, this third form complies with Ostrom’s design principle 3, but the key difference is the asymmetric role of the firm’s managers and other stakeholders with regard to governing. Based on what seems most effective, stakeholders may mandate the firm and its managers to take the leadership role in governance-related matters. Ostrom was not blind to “the expenditure of resources, time, effort, and opportunities forgone in decision-making” when governance is shared (Ostrom, 1990; Ostrom & Ostrom, 2000: 41). She proposed that, weighing these costs of equal participation in rulemaking against the costs that result from decisions that may deviate from their personal preferences, stakeholders may prefer to be represented rather than participate directly in the decisionmaking process for governance-related issues. Thus, governance is not centralized in the hands of the firm’s managers because they have claimed this role in each independent, dyadic relationship with a stakeholder, but because stakeholders, as a collective, see centralization and indirect participation as desirable and the firm and its managers as the most competent party to govern on their behalf. 最后,在主导治理形式中,公司的管理者在治理活动中扮演领导角色。与共享治理形式类似,第三种形式也符合奥斯特罗姆的设计原则3,但关键区别在于公司管理者与其他利益相关者在治理方面的角色不对称。根据最有效的方式,利益相关者可能会要求公司及其管理者在与治理相关的事务中承担领导角色。奥斯特罗姆并未忽视“治理共享时决策过程中资源、时间、精力和机会的耗费”(Ostrom, 1990;Ostrom & Ostrom, 2000: 41)。她提出,在权衡平等参与规则制定的成本与因决策可能偏离其个人偏好而产生的成本后,利益相关者可能更愿意被代表,而非直接参与与治理相关问题的决策过程。因此,治理并未集中在公司管理者手中——这并非因为他们在与每个利益相关者的独立二元关系中声称了这一角色,而是因为利益相关者作为一个整体认为集中化和间接参与是可取的,并且公司及其管理者是代表他们进行治理的最有能力的一方。
Who Monitors and Sanctions?
谁进行监督和制裁?
The monitoring of stakeholders’ compliance to the rules that support cooperation and the sanctioning of stakeholders’ non-compliance is an essential part of governance. To be effective, all three forms should comply with Ostrom’s design principle 5; namely, have sanctions that reflect the seriousness and context of the rule violation (Ostrom, 1990, 2000). For example, stakeholders that violate the rules in use should be sanctioned lightly at first, but more severely if they violate the rules repeatedly (Ostrom, 1990). Graduated sanctions, ranging from light social sanctions to exclusion from joint value creation activities, are important to sustain cooperation. Light initial sanctions reflect that “everyone can make an error or can face difficult problems leading them to break a rule,” but do signal that the rule violation has been noticed (Ostrom, 1990: 151). A severe sanction for an honest mistake or a violation with attenuating circumstances could spur a vicious circle of noncooperation if the rule violator or other stakeholders perceive the punishment as unfair and reciprocate this unfairness by cooperating less. On the other hand, the capacity to increase the severity of the sanctions reassures all stakeholders that rule violation will not be repeated (Ostrom, 1990). 对利益相关者遵守支持合作的规则以及对利益相关者不遵守规则进行制裁的监督,是治理的重要组成部分。为确保有效性,所有三种形式都应符合奥斯特罗姆的设计原则5,即制裁应反映规则违反行为的严重性和具体情境(奥斯特罗姆,1990,2000)。例如,违反现行规则的利益相关者起初应受到轻微制裁,但如果他们反复违反规则,则应受到更严厉的制裁(奥斯特罗姆,1990)。从轻微的社会制裁到被排除在共同价值创造活动之外的分级制裁,对于维持合作至关重要。轻微的初始制裁反映了“每个人都可能犯错或面临导致其违反规则的难题”,但也表明规则违反行为已被注意到(奥斯特罗姆,1990:151)。对无心之失或存在减轻情节的违规行为施加严厉制裁,如果违规者或其他利益相关者认为惩罚不公平并以减少合作的方式进行报复,可能会引发不合作的恶性循环。另一方面,能够提高制裁严厉程度的能力,可让所有利益相关者确信规则违反行为不会再次发生(奥斯特罗姆,1990)。
While all three stakeholder governance forms must share the feature of graduated sanctions to be effective governance forms, they differ in terms of who monitors and sanctions. In the hub-and-spoke form, the firm’s managers are in charge of exercising control. In contrast, in the shared governance form, stakeholders rely on peer monitoring and sanctioning, whereby stakeholders that have reciprocal preferences monitor others’ actions and sanction non-compliance to rules despite the personal cost of doing so (Bridoux, Coeurderoy, & Durand, 2011; Loughry & Tosi, 2008). Peer monitoring can be informal, as when employees who notice other employees’ deviating from the rules speak up and encourage others to correct their behavior. Alternatively, it can be formalized in appraisal systems that invite some stakeholders (e.g., customers) to monitor other stakeholders (e.g., frontline employees) by assessing their behavior (e.g., through a satisfaction survey after a customer—employee encounter). 虽然所有三种利益相关者治理形式要成为有效的治理形式都必须具备分级制裁的特征,但它们在谁来监督和制裁方面存在差异。在中心辐射式(hub-and-spoke)治理形式中,公司的管理者负责实施控制。相比之下,在共享治理形式中,利益相关者依靠同行监督和制裁,即具有互惠偏好的利益相关者会监督他人的行为,并在付出个人成本的情况下制裁不遵守规则的行为(Bridoux,Coeurderoy,& Durand,2011;Loughry & Tosi,2008)。同行监督可以是非正式的,例如当员工注意到其他员工违反规则时发声,并鼓励他人纠正其行为;也可以通过评估系统正式化,邀请一些利益相关者(例如客户)通过评估其行为(例如在客户与员工互动后进行的满意度调查)来监督其他利益相关者(例如一线员工)。
In the lead role governance form, stakeholders delegate a large part of the monitoring and sanctioning to the firm and its managers to avoid the high costs of pure peer control in the same fashion that communities often create official positions for monitors (Ostrom, 2000). Ostrom’s design principle 4 suggests that these official monitors should be accountable to the stakeholders involved in joint value creation, as argued in the literature about stakeholder democracy (Harrison & Freeman, 2004; Kerr, 2004). This accountability is an important difference between the lead role governance form and the hub-andspoke one. Another important difference is that all stakeholders may still play a role, albeit a smaller one, in monitoring other stakeholders—especially the stakeholders they closely interact with in joint value creation activities and that they can therefore cheaply monitor. If stakeholders other than the firm sanction in this form, they are likely to rely on social sanctions, while formal sanctions such as fines are likely to be centralized in the hands of the official monitors. 在主导角色治理形式中,利益相关者将大部分监督和制裁权委托给企业及其管理者,以避免纯粹同行监督的高昂成本,这与社区经常为监督者设立正式职位的做法类似(Ostrom,2000)。Ostrom的设计原则4表明,这些正式监督者应向参与联合价值创造的利益相关者负责,正如利益相关者民主相关文献中所论证的(Harrison & Freeman,2004;Kerr,2004)。这种问责制是主导角色治理形式与中心辐射型治理形式之间的一个重要区别。另一个重要区别是,所有利益相关者可能仍然在监督其他利益相关者方面发挥作用,尽管作用较小——特别是那些在联合价值创造活动中与他们密切互动、因此可以低成本监督的利益相关者。如果除企业外的其他利益相关者在这种形式中实施制裁,他们可能会依赖社会制裁,而诸如罚款等正式制裁则可能集中在正式监督者手中。
How Are Conflicts Resolved?
冲突是如何解决的?
When managing for stakeholders, the potential for conflicts is high because the interests of all stakeholders involved in joint value creation are deemed to count. Thus, an effective resolution of conflicts becomes “perhaps the most important” governance process affecting performance (Kochan & Rubinstein, 2000: 377), regardless of the stakeholder governance form. While strategy scholars, following organizational economists, tend to focus on conflicts of interests among self-interested or even opportunistic actors, conflicts are not necessarily destructive. They can help identify governance problems that must be addressed to sustain cooperation (Kochan & Rubinstein, 2000) and may arise from different interpretations of rules among stakeholders that are otherwise disposed to cooperate, because rules are always ambiguous to some degree (Kiser & Ostrom, 2000; Ostrom, 1990). A quick resolution of conflicts prevents conflicts from escalating and damaging trust (Ostrom, 1990). If conflicts are not resolved quickly, stakeholders are likely to take actions to protect their interests and, once such actions are taken, stakeholders may see each other as “neither trusted nor trustworthy to behave appropriately” (Ghoshal & Moran, 1996: 24). Stakeholders should therefore have access to fair, rapid, low-cost, local arenas to resolve their conflicts, in line with design principle 6 (Ostrom, 1990). 在管理利益相关者时,冲突的可能性很高,因为所有参与联合价值创造的利益相关者的利益都被认为是重要的。因此,有效的冲突解决成为“或许最重要”的影响绩效的治理过程(Kochan & Rubinstein,2000:377),无论采用何种利益相关者治理形式。虽然策略学者追随组织经济学家,倾向于关注自利甚至机会主义行为体之间的利益冲突,但冲突不一定具有破坏性。它们可以帮助识别维持合作必须解决的治理问题(Kochan & Rubinstein,2000),并且可能源于利益相关者之间对规则的不同解释——这些利益相关者原本倾向于合作,但规则在某种程度上总是模糊的(Kiser & Ostrom,2000;Ostrom,1990)。快速解决冲突可以防止冲突升级并损害信任(Ostrom,1990)。如果冲突没有得到快速解决,利益相关者可能会采取行动保护自身利益,而一旦采取此类行动,利益相关者可能会认为彼此“既不可信也不值得信任以适当行事”(Ghoshal & Moran,1996:24)。因此,利益相关者应能通过符合设计原则6(Ostrom,1990)的公平、快速、低成本的本地场域解决冲突。
In the hub-and-spoke form, the resolution of conflicts is primarily dyadic, in that it occurs in each of the firm—stakeholder relationships relatively independently. Accordingly, the conflict resolution mode (see Mohr & Spekman, 1994) could be different across stakeholders. It could depend, for example, on stakeholders’ past level of cooperation, ranging from a cooperative mode of conflict resolution, to overcome disagreements with stakeholders that have exhibited cooperative behavior in the past, to more power-based conflict resolution modes, such as confrontation and dominance by the firm, for stakeholders that have behaved non-cooperatively. A cooperative mode of conflict resolution involves communication that is frequent, transparent (i.e., free of voluntary distortion), multidirectional (as opposed to one-way), and formalized (i.e., routinized, planned, or structured, as opposed to unplanned, fleeting, or ad hoc in nature) (Mohr, Fisher, & Nevin, 1996). It also involves joint problem solving that aims to reach a resolution beneficial to all parties involved in the conflict (Koza & Dant, 2007; Mohr & Spekman, 1994). 在枢纽-辐射(hub-and-spoke)模式下,冲突解决主要是二元性的,即它在每个企业-利益相关者关系中相对独立地发生。因此,冲突解决模式(见Mohr & Spekman, 1994)可能因利益相关者而异。例如,这可能取决于利益相关者过去的合作水平,从合作性的冲突解决模式(用于克服与过去表现出合作行为的利益相关者的分歧),到更基于权力的冲突解决模式(如企业的对抗和主导,用于行为非合作的利益相关者)。合作性冲突解决模式包括频繁、透明(即无自愿扭曲)、多向(而非单向)且正式化(即常规化、计划化或结构化,而非非计划、短暂或临时性质)的沟通(Mohr, Fisher, & Nevin, 1996)。它还涉及旨在达成对冲突中所有相关方都有利的解决方案的联合问题解决(Koza & Dant, 2007; Mohr & Spekman, 1994)。
Conflict resolution is even more important in the shared governance form than in the hub-and-spoke one. In the shared governance form, the potential for conflicts is higher because conflicts can arise among any subset of the stakeholders involved in joint value creation, rather than being limited primarily to conflicts between a stakeholder and the firm’s managers. Conflicts could also spread quickly to the entire set of stakeholders, as stakeholders interact regularly with all others to deal with governancerelated issues. Therefore, the multiplicity and high intensity of governance-related relationships among stakeholders in the shared governance form make the rapid and low-cost conflict resolution promoted by Ostrom rather more important than in the huband-spoke form, where some firm—stakeholder relationships could stay conflictual with much less risk of contagion of other relationships. In the shared governance form, rapid and low-cost conflict resolution must primarily rest on the cooperative mode, because the power symmetry in shared governance means that there is no actor among the stakeholders involved in joint value creation that can systematically take the lead in resolving conflicts and that has the last word on how the conflicts should be resolved. A cooperative mode can work well for conflicts of interpretation among parties that are motivated to cooperate, but may not succeed in settling some conflicts of interests. Settling these conflicts then requires either involving all stakeholders to build a broad agreement regarding the most appropriate solution (factually, imposing the solution favored by the group of stakeholders involved in joint value creation on the stakeholders involved in the conflict) or the intervention of an outsider such as a court. Neither of these solutions is likely to be quick and low cost. 在共享治理模式中,冲突解决比在中心辐射模式中更为重要。在共享治理模式下,冲突发生的可能性更高,因为冲突可能出现在参与联合价值创造的任何利益相关者子集中,而不仅仅局限于利益相关者与公司管理层之间的冲突。此外,由于利益相关者会定期与其他所有利益相关者互动以处理治理相关问题,冲突还可能迅速蔓延至所有利益相关者群体。因此,共享治理模式中利益相关者之间多重且高强度的治理相关关系,使得奥斯特罗姆所倡导的快速且低成本的冲突解决机制比中心辐射模式下更为重要——在中心辐射模式中,某些公司与利益相关者的关系可能会持续存在冲突,但其他关系受到传染的风险要小得多。
在共享治理模式中,快速且低成本的冲突解决必须主要依靠合作模式,因为共享治理中的权力对称性意味着,在参与联合价值创造的利益相关者中,没有任何一个行为体能够系统地主导冲突解决,并对冲突的解决方式拥有最终话语权。合作模式对于动机合作的各方之间的解释性冲突可能效果良好,但可能无法解决某些利益冲突。解决这些冲突需要要么让所有利益相关者参与进来,就最合适的解决方案达成广泛共识(实际上,是将参与联合价值创造的利益相关者群体所青睐的解决方案强加给冲突中的利益相关者),要么由外部人士(如法院)介入。这两种解决方案都不太可能快速且低成本。
In a lead role governance form, the potential for governance-related conflicts is higher than in the hub-and-spoke form, but not as high as in the shared governance form. Indeed, with many governance tasks centralized in the hands of the firm’s managers, the other stakeholders have more limited interactions with one another regarding governance issues. In addition, the firm’s managers can be granted the role of arbiter in conflict resolution, which, compared to shared governance, may help resolve more conflicts of interests without recourse to outsiders. It is, however, a difficult role to fulfill because an arbiter should be seen as unbiased while, as an insider to the joint value creation activities, the firm and its managers will often have a stake in the outcome of conflicts (van Hille, de Bakker, Ferguson, & Groenewegen, 2019). 在主导型治理模式中,与治理相关的冲突可能性高于中心辐射型模式,但低于共享治理模式。事实上,由于许多治理任务集中在公司管理者手中,其他利益相关者之间就治理问题的互动更为有限。此外,公司管理者可被赋予冲突解决中的仲裁者角色,与共享治理相比,这可能有助于在无需诉诸外部人士的情况下解决更多利益冲突。然而,这一角色难以胜任,因为仲裁者应被视为不偏不倚的,但作为联合价值创造活动的内部参与者,公司及其管理者往往会在冲突结果中存在利益关联(van Hille, de Bakker, Ferguson, & Groenewegen, 2019)。
How Is a Fair Distribution of Value Achieved?
如何实现价值的公平分配?
A fair distribution of value is one, if not the, core attribute of managing for stakeholders (Bosse et al., 2009; Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2014; Harrison et al., 2010; Harrison & Wicks, 2013; Phillips, 2003). Stakeholders can rely on multiple distributive rules to assess how fair the distribution of value is. These rules include utilitarian power (Frooman, 1999), as well as the distributive justice principles of equity, equality, and need (Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016; Deutsch, 1975). Stakeholders that adopt utilitarian power as distributive rule see the value they would get elsewhere as the relevant comparison point to assess how fair the distribution of value is. In contrast, equity, equality, and need involve inside-focused comparisons among (some of) the stakeholders involved in joint value creation. When relying on such inside-focused comparisons, stakeholders in Western countries most widely support equity (Fortin & Fellenz, 2008; Hayibor, 2012; Kabanoff, 1991)—that is, rewarding stakeholders in proportion to their contribution to joint value created. Yet, they may sometimes want to apply the equality or need principle—that is, giving more to stakeholders that have the biggest material needs (Deutsch, 1975)— in order to, for example, ensure that they or other stakeholders earn a decent income (Bridoux & Vishwanathan, 2020). 价值的公平分配是管理利益相关者的核心属性之一(如果不是核心属性的话)(Bosse等人,2009年;Bridoux & Stoelhorst,2014年;Harrison等人,2010年;Harrison & Wicks,2013年;Phillips,2003年)。利益相关者可以依靠多种分配规则来评估价值分配的公平性。这些规则包括功利主义权力(Frooman,1999年),以及公平、平等和需求的分配正义原则(Bridoux & Stoelhorst,2016年;Deutsch,1975年)。采用功利主义权力作为分配规则的利益相关者,会将他们在其他地方可能获得的价值视为评估价值分配公平性的相关比较点。相比之下,公平、平等和需求涉及参与联合价值创造的(部分)利益相关者之间的内部比较。在依靠此类内部比较时,西方国家的利益相关者最广泛支持公平原则(Fortin & Fellenz,2008年;Hayibor,2012年;Kabanoff,1991年)——即根据利益相关者对联合创造的价值的贡献比例来奖励他们。然而,他们有时可能希望应用平等或需求原则——即向物质需求最大的利益相关者给予更多——例如,确保他们或其他利益相关者获得体面的收入(Bridoux & Vishwanathan,2020年)。
Value distribution in the hub-and-spoke form is managed primarily at the level of each firm-stakeholder relationship. This makes it possible to apply different distributive rules to different stakeholders as a function of stakeholders’ preferences. However, this latitude is not unlimited because, even if the governance relationships are managed dyadically, stakeholders may both be aware (because stakeholders communicated with each other about operations) and may care about what other stakeholders get— either out of a concern for other stakeholders’ welfare or out of a more self-centered worry to safeguard their own share of the value created jointly (Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2014; Rupp, Shao, Thornton, & Skarlicki, 2013; Lange, Bundy, & Park, 2020). 在枢纽-辐射式结构中的价值分配主要在每个企业-利益相关者关系层面进行管理。这使得可以根据利益相关者的偏好,对不同的利益相关者应用不同的分配规则。然而,这种自由度并非无限的,因为即使治理关系是通过二元方式管理的,利益相关者可能既意识到这一点(因为他们就运营情况相互沟通),也可能关心其他利益相关者获得的东西——这可能出于对其他利益相关者福祉的关切,也可能出于更以自我为中心的担忧,即保护自己在共同创造的价值中所占的份额(Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2014; Rupp, Shao, Thornton, & Skarlicki, 2013; Lange, Bundy, & Park, 2020)。
In contrast, in a shared governance form, a fair distribution of value requires an agreement from all stakeholders about the distributive rule(s) that will be applied to divide the value created jointly. When stakeholders have different distributional preferences, reaching such an agreement may be a lengthy process because all stakeholders have an equal say in the making of the agreement. Yet, once reached, such an agreement will be highly legitimate, leading to a strong commitment of stakeholders to joint value creation (Garriga, 2009). 相比之下,在共享治理模式中,价值的公平分配需要所有利益相关者就将用于分配共同创造价值的分配规则达成一致。当利益相关者有不同的分配偏好时,达成这种协议可能是一个漫长的过程,因为所有利益相关者在协议制定中都有平等的话语权。然而,一旦达成,这样的协议将具有高度合法性,从而促使利益相关者对共同价值创造做出坚定承诺(Garriga,2009)。
In the lead role governance, the firm’s managers can play a facilitator role in reaching an agreement on a fair distribution of the value created jointly. Given its importance, how to divide value is one of the governance decisions that stakeholders are unlikely to delegate. Much like in the shared governance form, stakeholders will thus need to reach an agreement on how to distribute value. The firm’s managers can facilitate this negotiation process by helping stakeholders take the perspective of the other stakeholders involved (van Hille et al., 2019). However, as is the case for conflict resolution, managers must be perceived as neutral enough to play this role successfully, even when they have a stake in the outcome of this negotiation. 在主导性治理中,公司管理者可以扮演促进者角色,帮助利益相关者就共同创造价值的公平分配达成一致。鉴于其重要性,价值分配方式是利益相关者不太可能委托他人决定的治理决策之一。与共享治理形式类似,利益相关者因此需要就价值分配方式达成一致。公司管理者可以通过帮助利益相关者站在其他相关利益相关者的角度思考来促成这一谈判过程(van Hille等人,2019)。然而,与冲突解决的情况一样,管理者必须被视为足够中立,才能成功扮演这一角色,即使他们在谈判结果中存在利益关联。
The Role of Managers
管理者的角色
The role of managers is fundamentally different in the three stakeholder governance forms. The huband-spoke form embodies the role for managers we are most familiar with: the managers as the ultimate decision-makers who, akin to benevolent patriarchs, listen to stakeholders and attempt to balance their interests. In contrast, in the lead organization form, managers are stewards to whom stakeholders delegate authority to make decisions on their behalf (see also Davis, Schoorman, & Donaldson, 1997). In this form, managers remain accountable to stakeholders; their leadership position is only secure as long as they lead the governance of joint value creation satisfactorily in stakeholders’ eyes. Finally, in the shared governance form, managers’ formal role is limited to being one decision-maker among many. Yet, managers can take on informal roles as facilitators of governance processes; for example, by trying to gather momentum around changes of rules that would improve joint value creation. 管理者的角色在三种利益相关者治理形式中根本不同。在中心辐射型(hub-and-spoke)形式中,管理者的角色是我们最熟悉的:作为最终决策者,他们类似仁慈的族长,倾听利益相关者的意见并试图平衡他们的利益。相比之下,在主导组织(lead organization)形式中,管理者是利益相关者委托以代表他们做出决策的管家(另见Davis, Schoorman, & Donaldson, 1997)。在这种形式中,管理者仍需对利益相关者负责;只要他们在利益相关者眼中令人满意地领导联合价值创造的治理,其领导地位就稳固。最后,在共享治理形式中,管理者的正式角色仅限于众多决策者之一。然而,管理者可以承担治理过程的促进者等非正式角色;例如,通过努力推动有利于联合价值创造的规则变革。
Given their different roles in the three governance forms, the latitude, or discretion, managers have to shape the interactions among the actors involved in joint value creation (Phillips et al., 2010) also differs. 由于他们在三种治理形式中角色不同,管理者在塑造联合价值创造中涉及的参与者之间的互动时所拥有的自由度(或酌情权)也有所不同(Phillips等人,2010)。
Formally, this managerial latitude ranges from low, in the shared governance form, through moderate, in the lead role governance form, to high, in the huband-spoke form. Mirroring this, stakeholders’ latitude ranges from high, in the shared governance form, through moderate in the lead role governance form, to low in the hub-and-spoke form. Next to their formal power, actors (both managers and stakeholders) may exercise other forms of influence on governance-related decisions. 从形式上看,这种管理自由度在共享治理模式中较低,在主导角色治理模式中为中等,在中心辐射模式中较高。与之相对应,利益相关者的自由度在共享治理模式中较高,在主导角色治理模式中为中等,在中心辐射模式中较低。除了其正式权力外,参与者(包括管理者和利益相关者)还可能在与治理相关的决策中运用其他形式的影响力。
Trust
信任
Trust is both an antecedent of the choice of a specific governance form and an outcome of having a governance form in place that successfully fosters cooperation (Poteete et al., 2010). It can be defined as “the intention to accept vulnerability based upon the positive expectations of the intentions or behavior of another” (Rousseau, Sitkin, Burt, & Camerer, 1998: 395). Many stakeholder theorists have presented stakeholders’ trust as one of the key mechanisms with which to explain stakeholders’ cooperation (Bosse et al., 2009; Harrison et al., 2010; Harrison & Wicks, 2013; Jones, 1995; Wicks et al., 1999). Trust is even more important if one focuses on addressing collective action problems: actors’ cooperation in collective action situations has been found to be almost always conditional on their expectations that others will cooperate too (Balliet & Van Lange, 2013; Van Lange et al., 2013). 信任既是特定治理形式选择的前提,也是成功促进合作的治理形式存在的结果(Poteete等人,2010)。它可以被定义为“基于对他人意图或行为的积极期望而接受脆弱性的意愿”(Rousseau、Sitkin、Burt和Camerer,1998:395)。许多利益相关者理论家将利益相关者的信任视为解释利益相关者合作的关键机制之一(Bosse等人,2009;Harrison等人,2010;Harrison和Wicks,2013;Jones,1995;Wicks等人,1999)。如果专注于解决集体行动问题,信任就更加重要:研究发现,行动者在集体行动情境中的合作几乎总是取决于他们对他人也会合作的期望(Balliet和Van Lange,2013;Van Lange等人,2013)。
Before the value creation activities start, the choice of a governance form typically will be negotiated among the firm’s managers and, at a minimum, those stakeholders that are in a relatively balanced power relationship with the firm and its managers (Alvarez et al., 2010; Klein et al., 2019). Less powerful stakeholders may also be invited to take part in these negotiations, but they may also be approached to participate in the joint value creation activities after the initial choice of a governance form has been negotiated among the more powerful actors. The governance form can evolve over time as actors experience the need to change how interactions are governed to better address the collective action problems that threaten joint value creation. 在价值创造活动开始之前,治理形式的选择通常会在公司管理者之间进行协商,至少会与那些与公司及其管理者处于相对权力平衡关系的利益相关者进行协商(Alvarez等人,2010;Klein等人,2019)。权力较弱的利益相关者也可能被邀请参与这些谈判,但在更有权力的行为者就治理形式的初步选择达成协商后,他们也可能被邀请参与联合价值创造活动。随着行为者意识到需要改变互动的治理方式以更好地解决威胁联合价值创造的集体行动问题,治理形式可能会随着时间的推移而演变。
The initial choice of a specific governance form will be influenced by the initially prevailing levels and types of trust. Moreover, to make it simpler an increase or decrease in trust can trigger a change in governance form. While the three stakeholder governance forms do not differ with regard to how important trust is, they very much differ with regard to the primary type of trust that drives the choice of a governance form. First, consider the hub-and-spoke governance form. For stakeholders to accept the managers’ authority central to the hub-and-spoke form, even in situations of more equal dependence, the firm or its managers must have a legitimate basis for their claim to authority (Wood & Gray, 1991).5 To have a legitimate basis to claim authority over stakeholders, the firm or its managers must be trusted by stakeholders. This type of trust is “interpersonal.” Interpersonal trust is trust grounded in the competence and moral character (benevolence and integrity) of another actor on which one depends (Robinson, 1996)—here, the firm’s managers, the firm, or both (depending on stakeholders’ views of who their counterpart in the relationship is). 特定治理形式的初始选择将受到初始盛行的信任水平和类型的影响。此外,为了简化,信任的增加或减少可以触发治理形式的变化。虽然三种利益相关者治理形式在信任的重要性方面没有差异,但它们在驱动治理形式选择的主要信任类型方面存在很大差异。首先,考虑中心辐射式治理形式。为了让利益相关者接受中心辐射式形式中核心的管理者权威,即使在更平等的依赖关系中,公司或其管理者也必须有合法的权威主张依据(Wood & Gray,1991)。5 为了拥有对利益相关者主张权威的合法依据,公司或其管理者必须得到利益相关者的信任。这种信任是“人际的”。人际信任是基于一个人所依赖的另一方行为者的能力和道德品质(善意和正直)的信任(Robinson,1996)——这里,是公司的管理者、公司,或者两者(取决于利益相关者对关系中对方是谁的看法)。
Thus, the stakeholders negotiating a governance form at the outset of the joint creation activities will only accept a hub-and-spoke governance form if the firm or its managers are seen as possessing both the competences needed to govern joint value creation and the moral character to govern in the collective interest rather than only in the interest of the firm (or the personal interests of its managers). Similarly, if these stakeholders no longer trust the firm and its managers, stakeholders with the power to do so will push for a change in the way that joint value creation activities are governed. A decrease in interpersonal trust can come from, among others, managers’ mobility, when trusted managers are replaced by managers who are not known or not trusted by the stakeholders (Broschak, 2004; Ring & Van de Ven, 1994). 因此,在联合创造活动开始时就联合制定治理形式的利益相关者,只有在企业或其管理者被认为既具备管理联合价值创造所需的能力,又具备为集体利益而非仅为企业利益(或其管理者个人利益)进行治理的道德品质时,才会接受中心辐射式治理形式。同样,如果这些利益相关者不再信任企业及其管理者,拥有这种权力的利益相关者将推动改变联合价值创造活动的治理方式。人际信任的降低可能来自多种因素,包括管理者的流动性——当受信任的管理者被利益相关者不了解或不信任的管理者取代时(Broschak, 2004;Ring & Van de Ven, 1994)。
Interpersonal trust is the type of trust stakeholder theorists tend to focus on (Harrison et al., 2010; Harrison & Wicks, 2013; Jones et al., 2018; Wicks et al., 1999), even when they explicitly acknowledge the interdependence of stakeholders in joint value creation (Crane, 2020). Yet, stakeholders’ participation in designing the rules in the shared governance and lead role governance forms fosters another type of trust: “system trust.” System trust is “a belief that the proper impersonal structures have been put into place enabling one party to anticipate successful transactions with another party” (Pennington, Wilcox, & Grover, 2003: 201). 人际信任是利益相关者理论学者倾向于关注的信任类型(Harrison et al., 2010; Harrison & Wicks, 2013; Jones et al., 2018; Wicks et al., 1999),即便他们明确承认利益相关者在共同价值创造中的相互依存关系(Crane, 2020)。然而,利益相关者在共享治理和主导角色治理形式中参与规则设计,会催生另一种信任:“系统信任”。系统信任是“一种信念,即适当的非个人化结构已被建立,使一方能够预期与另一方的交易成功”(Pennington, Wilcox, & Grover, 2003: 201)。
In the shared governance form, system trust is the most important type of trust in sustaining cooperation and guiding the choice of a governance form. System trust arises from stakeholders’ participation in the making and implementation of the governance rules if and when their participation reassures stakeholders that other participants in joint value creation will have to cooperate. “Decision-makers knowing that rules restrict actions by other decision-makers can predict responses to their own actions better than they could without those rules” (Kiser & Ostrom, 2000: 65). At the start of joint value creation activities, system trust is crucial for the choice of a shared governance form, because the stakeholders involved in joint value creation may not know enough about some other participants to form judgments about their competence and moral character, or may even know that some other participants are not trustworthy. As time goes by, stakeholders may get to know more about other participants and interpersonal trust may come to characterize many of the stakeholder-stakeholder relationships in a shared governance form. However, because shared governance requires interpersonal trust among many parties, some of which are likely to be mobile (some stakeholders leave, others join), interpersonal trust can, at most, complement system trust in a shared governance form but cannot substitute for it. 在共享治理形式中,制度信任是维持合作和指导治理形式选择的最重要信任类型。制度信任源于利益相关者参与治理规则的制定和实施,当且仅当他们的参与使利益相关者确信联合价值创造中的其他参与者将不得不进行合作时,制度信任才会产生。“决策者知道规则会限制其他决策者的行动,能够比没有这些规则时更好地预测自身行动的反应”(Kiser & Ostrom,2000:65)。在联合价值创造活动开始时,制度信任对于选择共享治理形式至关重要,因为参与联合价值创造的利益相关者可能对其他一些参与者了解不足,无法对其能力和道德品质形成判断,甚至可能知道某些其他参与者不可信。随着时间的推移,利益相关者可能会更多地了解其他参与者,人际信任可能会成为共享治理形式中许多利益相关者之间关系的特征。然而,由于共享治理需要多方之间的人际信任,其中一些利益相关者可能具有流动性(一些利益相关者离开,另一些加入),人际信任最多只能在共享治理形式中补充制度信任,而不能替代制度信任。
Finally, in a well-functioning lead role governance form, system trust and interpersonal trust work in tandem and reinforce each other. At the outset of joint creation activities, at least a moderate level of both system trust and interpersonal trust in the firm and its managers is required for stakeholders to accept this governance form. The firm can only take the lead role in governing if stakeholders have enough interpersonal trust in the firm or its managers. Yet, this interpersonal trust needs not to be as high for the lead role governance form to be accepted by stakeholders as is the case for the huband-spoke form if stakeholders also experience system trust from the fact that they participate in governance and can, as an ultimate recourse, replace the firm as governance leader. As the firm and its managers accomplish the governance tasks as mandated by the stakeholders and exhibit accountability to them, interpersonal trust and system trust can grow. The combination of two types of trust makes joint value creation more resilient to managers’ mobility: a dip in interpersonal trust (e.g., caused by the replacement of the firm’s CEO by somebody whom stakeholders do not know yet) may be compensated by system trust. 最后,在一个运作良好的主导型治理形式中,制度信任和人际信任相互配合、相互强化。在联合创造活动开始时,利益相关者要接受这种治理形式,至少需要对企业及其管理者拥有中等程度的制度信任和人际信任。只有当利益相关者对企业或其管理者有足够的人际信任时,企业才能在治理中发挥主导作用。然而,如果利益相关者因参与治理而获得制度信任,并且可以最终作为替代者更换企业作为治理领导者,那么人际信任在主导型治理形式被利益相关者接受时,其要求不必像在中心-卫星形式中那样高。随着企业及其管理者完成利益相关者授权的治理任务并向他们承担责任,人际信任和制度信任会不断增强。两种信任的结合使联合价值创造对管理者流动性的抵抗力更强:人际信任的下降(例如,因企业CEO被利益相关者尚不了解的人取代而导致)可能会由制度信任来弥补。
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE THREE STAKEHOLDER GOVERNANCE FORMS
三方利益相关者治理形式的有效性
We now turn to comparing the relative effectiveness of the three stakeholder governance forms. Given our focus on managing for stakeholders, we consider a governance form to be more effective when it allows the set of stakeholders involved in joint value creation, as a collective, to create more economic value. Economic value is realized by trading the products and services that embed the results of stakeholders’ joint value creation activities. While stakeholders may also enjoy some non-economic value from joint value creation activities (e.g., employees may enjoy meaningfulness in their job), economic value is a crucial measure to assess the overall success of stakeholders’ cooperation. 我们现在转向比较三种利益相关者治理形式的相对有效性。鉴于我们关注的是为利益相关者进行管理,我们认为一种治理形式更有效,当且仅当它允许参与联合价值创造的利益相关者集合作为一个整体创造更多的经济价值。经济价值通过交易嵌入利益相关者联合价值创造活动成果的产品和服务来实现。虽然利益相关者也可能从联合价值创造活动中获得一些非经济价值(例如,员工可能在工作中获得意义感),但经济价值是评估利益相关者合作整体成功与否的关键衡量标准。
Together with the stakeholder governance form, joint value creation activities—that is, “what do we do and who does what in the arena of operations”— are negotiated and evolve over time (Alvarez et al., 2010). We therefore consider two characteristics of the joint value creation activities that are likely to affect the relative effectiveness of the three governance forms. Looking at the nature of the joint value creation activities for contingency factors likely to influence the effectiveness of the governance forms is in line with Ostrom’s later work, in which she identified the nature of the resource used in common as an “exogenous variable” that shapes the collective action situation that actors are in (Ostrom, 2005; Poteete et al., 2010). Following Poteete et al. (2010), we examine two characteristics of the joint value creation activities: (1) complexity and (2) dynamism. It should be noted that, in the case of joint value creation, these characteristics might not be entirely exogenous. For example, when setting up joint value creation, there are often several technologies to choose from (Raveendran, Silvestri, & Gulati, 2020) and the choice that is made among them could affect complexity and dynamism. Table 3 offers an overview of our arguments about comparative effectiveness. 与利益相关者治理形式一起,共同价值创造活动——即“在运营领域我们做什么以及谁做什么”——是经过协商并随时间演变的(Alvarez等人,2010)。因此,我们考虑共同价值创造活动的两个特征,这些特征可能会影响三种治理形式的相对有效性。从共同价值创造活动的性质出发,研究可能影响治理形式有效性的权变因素,这与奥斯特罗姆后来的研究一致,在她的研究中,她将共同使用的资源的性质确定为塑造行动者所处集体行动情境的“外生变量”(Ostrom,2005;Poteete等人,2010)。遵循Poteete等人(2010)的研究,我们考察共同价值创造活动的两个特征:(1)复杂性和(2)动态性。需要注意的是,在共同价值创造的情况下,这些特征可能并非完全外生。例如,在建立共同价值创造时,通常有多种技术可供选择(Raveendran、Silvestri和Gulati,2020),而在这些技术中做出的选择可能会影响复杂性和动态性。表3概述了我们关于比较有效性的论点。
The Level of Complexity of Joint Value Creation Activities
联合价值创造活动的复杂程度
Complexity affects actors’ ability to understand how their actions relate to joint value created (Poteete et al., 2010). Given stakeholders’ interdependencies in joint value creation, this form of value creation is always at least moderately complex (Ployhart, Nyberg, Reilly, & Maltarich, 2014): the value generated jointly has multiple causes that interact in non-linear ways, so that it is not a trivial matter to infer the properties of the whole from the properties of the parts (Simon, 1962: 468). Other characteristics of joint value creation that increase complexity include the time period over which the effects of stakeholders’ actions on joint value created unfold, which further increases the difficulty of understanding the causeeffect relationships involved. The higher the complexity of the joint value creation activities, the more learning is required to find out which rules are most suited to solving collective action problems (Poteete et al., 2010). 复杂性影响参与者理解其行动与共同创造的价值之间关系的能力(Poteete等人,2010)。鉴于利益相关者在共同价值创造中的相互依存关系,这种价值创造形式至少具有中等程度的复杂性(Ployhart、Nyberg、Reilly和Maltarich,2014):共同产生的价值有多种原因,这些原因以非线性方式相互作用,因此从部分的属性推断整体的属性并非易事(Simon,1962:468)。共同价值创造中增加复杂性的其他特征包括利益相关者的行动对共同创造的价值产生影响所经历的时间跨度,这进一步增加了理解所涉及的因果关系的难度。共同价值创造活动的复杂性越高,就越需要学习来确定哪些规则最适合解决集体行动问题(Poteete等人,2010)。
The three governance forms are differently equipped to (a) deal with the cognitive challenges posed by high complexity and (b) support the evolution of suitable rules for governing the specific joint value creation activities in which stakeholders take part. The shared governance form is comparatively the best form to support the shared cognition and collective learning needed to deal with high levels of complexity. By performing part of the joint value creation activities, each stakeholder will, over time, develop some understanding of the complex cause-effect relationships involved. The regular interactions around governance among all stakeholders in the shared governance form (via meetings, debates, etc.) allow for the integration of the different pieces of knowledge stakeholders acquire over time. This integration in turn enables adaption of the governance rules, fitting them as closely as possible to the particulars of the joint creation activities, despite their high complexity. 这三种治理形式在应对(a)高复杂性带来的认知挑战和(b)支持利益相关者参与的特定联合价值创造活动的适宜治理规则演进方面,具备不同的能力。共享治理形式相对而言是支持处理高复杂性所需的共享认知和集体学习的最佳形式。通过参与部分联合价值创造活动,每个利益相关者会随着时间的推移,逐步理解其中涉及的复杂因果关系。在共享治理形式中,所有利益相关者围绕治理的定期互动(通过会议、辩论等方式),能够整合各利益相关者随时间积累的不同知识片段。这种整合反过来又能推动治理规则的调整,使其尽可能紧密地适配联合创造活动的具体情况,即便这些活动具有高度复杂性。
TABLE 3 The Comparative Effectiveness of the Three Stakeholder Governance Forms
表3 三种利益相关者治理形式的比较有效性

In contrast, the integration of stakeholders’ knowledge and the translation of this knowledge into adaptations of the governance rules is less likely to take place in the lead role governance form, wherein governance is largely centralized in the hands of the firm’s managers, and much less likely to take place in the hub-and-spoke form, in which governance is completely centralized in the hands of the firm’s managers. It is not so much that stakeholders may be reluctant to share what they may have learnt individually (they will often benefit from rules that are better adapted), but, rather, that, as described in the organizational learning literature (Brown & Duguid, 1991; Orlikowski, 2002), knowledge integration is facilitated in the ongoing interactions among stakeholders when discussing and negotiating governance. These interactions do not exist in the hub-and-spoke form, with its independent, dyadic firmstakeholder relationships, and they are much more limited in the lead role governance form than in the shared governance form. As a result, the shared governance form can handle a higher level of complexity than the lead role governance form, which in turn can handle more complexity than the hub-and-spoke form. Thus: 相比之下,在主导型治理模式中,利益相关者的知识整合以及将这些知识转化为治理规则的调整不太可能发生,因为在这种模式下,治理权主要集中在公司管理者手中;而在中心辐射型治理模式中,治理权完全集中在公司管理者手中,这种整合和转化就更不可能发生。这并非是因为利益相关者可能不愿意分享他们各自学到的东西(事实上,他们通常会从更适配的规则中受益),而是正如组织学习文献中所描述的(Brown & Duguid, 1991;Orlikowski, 2002),当利益相关者在讨论和协商治理问题时,持续的互动会促进知识整合。而在中心辐射型治理模式中,并不存在这种互动,因为其存在独立的二元公司-利益相关者关系;并且在主导型治理模式中,这种互动也比共享型治理模式中有限得多。因此,共享型治理模式能够处理更高程度的复杂性,而主导型治理模式又比中心辐射型治理模式能处理更多的复杂性。因此:
Proposition 1. At high levels of complexity of joint value creation activities, the shared governance form is more effective than the lead role governance form, and the lead role governance form is more effective than the hub-and-spoke governance form. 命题1. 在联合价值创造活动的复杂性处于高水平时,共享治理形式比主导角色治理形式更有效,而主导角色治理形式比中心辐射型治理形式更有效。
The Level of Dynamism in Joint Value Creation Activities
联合价值创造活动的动态水平
When joint value creation takes place in a dynamic environment, the need for changes in the joint value creation activities in which stakeholders are involved will tend to go hand in hand with a need for changes in the rules that govern stakeholders’ interactions. Failure to change the governance rules when operational activities are changing significantly will decrease the capacity of these rules to sustain cooperation, as these rules will be less and less adapted to the specifics of stakeholders’ interactions in the operational arena. At higher levels of dynamism, governance rules need to be changed both more frequently and faster than at lower levels. 当联合价值创造在动态环境中发生时,利益相关者所参与的联合价值创造活动需要发生变化,这往往与治理利益相关者互动的规则需要发生变化相辅相成。如果在运营活动发生重大变化时未能改变治理规则,这些规则维持合作的能力将会下降,因为这些规则将越来越不适应运营领域中利益相关者互动的具体情况。在更高的动态水平下,治理规则需要比在较低水平下更频繁、更快地进行调整。
As is the case for any adaptation in the face of change (Zollo & Winter, 2002), adapting governance rules when joint value creation activities change relies on a decision-making process in which actors come up with potential changes to governance rules and select from among these potential changes how the rules will actually be changed. The centralization of governance in the hub-and-spoke form, and to a lesser extent in the lead role governance form, benefits the speed of decision-making (Baum & Wally, 2003) and therefore enables more frequent and faster governance adaptation compared to the shared governance form, wherein stakeholders must be involved in all governance changes. However, speed is not the only criterion determining the success of governance changes: the accuracy and legitimacy of the changes also matter. There is often a tension between speed and accuracy of decisions (Beersma, Hollenbeck, Humphrey, Moon, Conlon, & Ilgen, 2003; Förster, Higgins, & Bianco, 2003), as well as between speed and building legitimacy for decisions. 与面对变化时的任何适应情况一样(Zollo & Winter,2002),当联合价值创造活动发生变化时,调整治理规则依赖于一个决策过程,在此过程中,参与者提出治理规则的潜在变更,并从中选择如何实际修改这些规则。以中心辐射型(hub-and-spoke)形式集中治理,以及在较小程度上以主导角色治理形式集中治理,都有利于提高决策速度(Baum & Wally,2003),因此与共享治理形式相比,能够实现更频繁、更快的治理调整——在共享治理形式中,利益相关者必须参与所有治理变更。然而,速度并非决定治理变更成功的唯一标准:变更的准确性和合法性也很重要。决策的速度与准确性之间(Beersma、Hollenbeck、Humphrey、Moon、Conlon & Ilgen,2003;Förster、Higgins & Bianco,2003),以及速度与决策合法性构建之间,往往存在张力。
Whereas shared governance slows down governance adaptation, new rules are likely to more accurately reflect the changes in the joint value creation activities. Compared to a hub-and-spoke form, and to a lesser extent a lead role governance form, a shared governance form, in which all stakeholders are involved in changing the rules, enables more comprehensive information gathering and processing to come up with potential changes to governance rules and to select the most suitable rules to implement. In addition to more accurate changes in governance rules, thanks to stakeholders’ participation in designing the rules, shared governance is also likely to deliver more legitimate governance changes compared to a hub-and-spoke form, wherein stakeholders are not involved, and, to a lesser extent, to a lead role governance form, in which stakeholders are only involved in designing some rules but not all. There is thus a trade-off between the benefits of equal participation in terms of the quality of new rules (if stakeholders’ participation in decisions allows them to tap into distributed expertise) and stakeholders’ commitment to these new rules as being legitimate, on the one hand, and the costs linked to time-consuming negotiations and slower decisions (Defourny & Nyssens, 2010), on the other hand. 尽管共享治理会减缓治理适应速度,但新规则可能更准确地反映联合价值创造活动的变化。与中心辐射型(hub-and-spoke)形式相比,在较小程度上也与主导型治理形式相比,共享治理形式(所有利益相关者都参与规则变更)能够进行更全面的信息收集和处理,从而提出治理规则的潜在变更,并选择最适合实施的规则。除了治理规则的更准确变更外,由于利益相关者参与规则设计,与中心辐射型形式(利益相关者不参与)以及较小程度上与主导型治理形式(利益相关者仅参与部分规则设计而非全部)相比,共享治理还可能带来更合法的治理变更。因此,一方面,利益相关者平等参与在新规则质量方面(如果利益相关者的决策参与使他们能够利用分散的专业知识)带来的益处,以及利益相关者对这些新规则作为合法规则的承诺,与另一方面,与耗时谈判和决策延迟相关的成本(Defourny & Nyssens, 2010)之间存在权衡。
Together, the arguments above suggest that, at low to moderate levels of dynamism in joint value creation activities, all three governance forms are likely to be able to handle the need for changes in governance rules, albeit with different hurdles to surmount: a hurdle of lower accuracy and legitimacy in the hub-and-spoke form, and a hurdle of a slower decision-making process in the shared governance form. In contrast, at high levels of dynamism, these hurdles in the hub-and-spoke and the shared governance forms are likely to become major stumbling blocks that, over time, make these forms less and less effective, compared to the lead role governance form. The lead role governance form is most likely to remain effective at high levels of dynamism because it combines a high sensing capacity with moderate speed of rule adaptation, thanks to the centralization of rule design in the leader’s hands and some of the accuracy and legitimacy provided by stakeholders’ participation. 综上所述,上述论点表明,在联合价值创造活动的低至中等动态水平下,所有三种治理形式都可能能够应对治理规则变化的需求,尽管需要克服不同的障碍:在中心辐射型治理形式中,准确性和合法性较低是一个障碍;在共享治理形式中,决策过程较慢是一个障碍。相比之下,在高动态水平下,中心辐射型和共享治理形式中的这些障碍可能会成为主要的绊脚石,随着时间的推移,与领导型治理形式相比,这些形式的有效性会越来越低。领导型治理形式在高动态水平下最有可能保持有效性,因为它将高度的感知能力与适度的规则适应速度相结合,这得益于规则设计的集中化(由领导者掌控)以及利益相关者参与带来的一定准确性和合法性。
Proposition 2. At high levels of dynamism in joint value creation activities, the lead role governance form is more effective than the hub-and-spoke and shared governance forms. 命题2. 在联合价值创造活动高度动态化的情况下,主导型治理形式比中心-辐射型和共享型治理形式更有效。
DISCUSSION
讨论
Both management scholars (Amis et al., 2020; Asher, Mahoney, & Mahoney, 2005) and practitioners (Business Roundtable, 2019) are increasingly aware of the need to rethink governance from a stakeholder perspective. Stakeholder theorists have long argued that “managing for stakeholders” is likely to lead to more value creation than a purely arm’s-length or shareholder primacy approach, but have only recently explicitly recognized that, in the case of joint value creation, managing for stakeholders means overcoming collective action problems (Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016; Klein et al., 2019). This recognition prompted us to ask how the interactions among the stakeholders involved in joint value creation when managing for stakeholders should be governed. We have answered this question by building on the work of Elinor Ostrom, whose design principles offer guidelines to think about stakeholder governance in the presence of collective action problems. We have used Ostrom’s principles to contrast the way of governing joint value creation implied by the traditional hub-and-spoke view of the firm and its stakeholders with two alternative forms of stakeholder governance—the lead role governance form and the shared governance form— resulting in a typology of three stakeholder governance forms and a contingency argument for when each of these forms is more likely to be effective. 管理学者(Amis et al., 2020;Asher, Mahoney, & Mahoney, 2005)和从业者(Business Roundtable, 2019)都越来越意识到需要从利益相关者视角重新思考治理问题。利益相关者理论学者长期以来认为,“为利益相关者管理”可能比纯粹的臂长距离(arm’s-length)或股东至上(shareholder primacy)方法创造更多价值,但直到最近才明确认识到,在共同价值创造的情况下,为利益相关者管理意味着克服集体行动问题(Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016;Klein et al., 2019)。这一认识促使我们思考:在为利益相关者管理时,参与共同价值创造的利益相关者之间的互动应如何治理?我们通过借鉴埃莉诺·奥斯特罗姆(Elinor Ostrom)的研究成果来回答这一问题,她的设计原则为在存在集体行动问题时思考利益相关者治理提供了指导。我们运用奥斯特罗姆的原则,对比了传统的企业及其利益相关者“中心辐射型”(hub-and-spoke)视角所隐含的共同价值创造治理方式,与两种替代的利益相关者治理形式——主导角色治理形式和共享治理形式——从而形成了三种利益相关者治理形式的类型学,并提出了一个权变论证,说明每种形式在何种情况下更可能有效。
Our first contribution is to further develop stakeholder theory as an alternative perspective on capitalism by explicitly grounding it in Ostrom’s work on how to design governance rules that help solve collective action problems. Stakeholder theorists have always emphasized that the role of firms in capitalism is to organize cooperation among stakeholders, and have always held that organizing such cooperation requires different solutions than those formulated in, for example, transaction cost theory (Freeman & Evan, 1990; Jones, 1995) and agency theory (Bosse & Phillips, 2016; Hill & Jones, 1992). However, if the central issue in managing for stakeholders is not just organizing cooperation, but organizing cooperation in the face of collective action problems (Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016; Klein et al., 2019), stakeholder theory can be strengthened as a theoretically and practically meaningful alternative perspective on capitalism by explicitly re-examining some of its central concepts in terms of how they relate to solving collective action problems. 我们的第一项贡献是通过明确将利益相关者理论建立在奥斯特罗姆(Ostrom)关于如何设计治理规则以解决集体行动问题的研究基础上,进一步发展该理论,将其作为资本主义的另一种替代视角。利益相关者理论学者一直强调,企业在资本主义中的作用是组织利益相关者之间的合作,并且一直认为组织这种合作需要不同于交易成本理论(Freeman & Evan, 1990; Jones, 1995)和代理理论(Bosse & Phillips, 2016; Hill & Jones, 1992)中提出的解决方案。然而,如果以利益相关者为中心的管理的核心问题不仅仅是组织合作,而是在面临集体行动问题时组织合作(Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016; Klein et al., 2019),那么通过从这些核心概念与解决集体行动问题的关系角度重新审视其部分核心概念,利益相关者理论可以作为一种在理论和实践上都有意义的资本主义替代视角得到强化。
We have taken a step in this direction by rethinking the hub-and-spoke view of stakeholder relationships as the starting point of “managing for stakeholders.” Once we explicitly conceptualize the role of firms and managers as finding solutions to collective action problems, it is clear that cooperation may be more difficult to realize than the extant literature has acknowledged. More specifically, the primary governance-related task of managers is to help stakeholders overcome the difficult give some, take some, and hybrid dilemmas inherent in productive activities that involve task or outcome interdependence. This task becomes all the more difficult when joint value creation involves stakeholders that are outside the boundaries of the firm as traditionally understood, and that may be in a balanced power relationship with the firm or its managers—as is increasingly the case in modern economies. In such cases, the (often implicit) assumption in stakeholder theory that managers can rely on their authority over stakeholders to manage for stakeholders is even more problematic than when joint value creation activities only involve “inside” stakeholders over whom managers are more likely to have power. We must therefore explain why such stakeholders may accept managers as a central authority, or acknowledge that other governance forms may be needed to solve collective action problems. 我们已经朝着这个方向迈出了一步,将利益相关者关系的“中心辐射”视角重新审视为“为利益相关者管理”的起点。一旦我们明确将企业和管理者的角色概念化为解决集体行动问题的主体,就会发现合作可能比现有文献所承认的更难实现。更具体地说,管理者的主要治理相关任务是帮助利益相关者克服生产活动中固有的“有所给予、有所获取”以及混合困境,这些困境源于涉及任务或结果相互依赖的情境。当共同价值创造涉及传统意义上超出企业边界的利益相关者,并且这些利益相关者可能与企业或其管理者处于权力平衡的关系中时(这在现代经济中日益普遍),这项任务会变得更加艰巨。在这种情况下,利益相关者理论中(通常隐含的)管理者可以依靠其对利益相关者的权威来“为利益相关者管理”的假设,比当共同价值创造活动仅涉及“内部”利益相关者(管理者对他们更可能拥有权力)时,问题更为严重。因此,我们必须解释为何这类利益相关者可能接受管理者作为核心权威,或者承认可能需要其他治理形式来解决集体行动问题。
At the same time, the upshot of conceptualizing the role of firms and managers as solving collective action problems is that it opens the door to an extensive and very rich interdisciplinary literature on (solving) collective action problems (for reviews, see Kollock, 1998, and Van Lange et al., 2013) as a basis for thinking about stakeholder governance. Ostrom’s Nobel Prize-winning work offers a particular wellsuited starting point for such a project (Klein et al., 2019). Ostrom’s design principles are arguably the most comprehensive set of general insights about solving collective action problems available in the literature, and thus present themselves as a natural foundation for a theory of stakeholder governance. For example, in line with what Deakin (2012) did for law scholars, it would be interesting to (re)assess extant literature on corporate governance (e.g., Hansmann, 2000; Jensen, 2002), in general, and corporate governance from a stakeholder perspective (Asher et al., 2005; Blair & Stout, 1999; Freeman & Evan, 1990), in particular, in terms of how it aligns with Ostrom’s principles. 同时,将企业和管理者的角色概念化为解决集体行动问题的做法,其结果是为关于(解决)集体行动问题的广泛且非常丰富的跨学科文献打开了大门(相关综述见Kollock, 1998;Van Lange等人, 2013),以此作为思考利益相关者治理的基础。奥斯特罗姆(Ostrom)获得诺贝尔奖的研究为这一项目提供了一个特别合适的起点(Klein等人, 2019)。奥斯特罗姆的设计原则可以说是文献中关于解决集体行动问题的最全面的一般性见解集合,因此自然成为利益相关者治理理论的基础。例如,与Deakin(2012)为法学学者所做的工作类似,从奥斯特罗姆原则的角度重新评估现有关于公司治理的文献(例如Hansmann, 2000;Jensen, 2002),以及特别是从利益相关者视角的公司治理(Asher等人, 2005;Blair & Stout, 1999;Freeman & Evan, 1990),将是一件有趣的事情。
Our second contribution is to use Ostrom’s work to develop a typology of three governance forms for joint value creation that managers may consider in order to solve collective actions problems when managing for stakeholders. The first of these is the governance form implicit in the hub-and-spoke representation of the firm and its relationship with stakeholders that is central to much of the stakeholder literature, while we derived the other two forms—lead role governance and shared governance—from Ostrom’s work. 我们的第二项贡献是运用奥斯特罗姆的研究成果,构建一个包含三种治理形式的类型学,以助力管理者在为利益相关者进行管理时解决集体行动问题,实现联合价值创造。其中第一种治理形式是隐含在企业及其与利益相关者关系的“中心辐射”(hub-and-spoke)模型中的治理形式,这一模型是利益相关者理论文献中的核心内容;而另外两种治理形式——主导角色治理(lead role governance)和共享治理(shared governance)——则是我们从奥斯特罗姆的研究中推导出来的。
The fundamental difference between these three forms is the involvement of other stakeholders than the firm’s managers in governance; this involvement ranges from no formal role, in the hub-and-spoke form, via representation, in the lead role governance form, to equal participation, in the shared governance form. It should be noted that we are not arguing for (or against) involving all stakeholders in the processes of governance; our theory only applies to the subset of stakeholders involved in joint value creation. With regard to these stakeholders, participation in governance is neither an ideal nor a fantasy. For example, employees have participated in the governance of many European firms for a long time, even if this fact has been largely ignored by agency theorists, who tend to focus on the bilateral contracts between shareholders and top managers (Aguilera & Jackson, 2003). Multiple stakeholders’ participation in governance is also commonly described in the small literature on governance in goal-directed networks, which are networks of three or more autonomous organizations that are set up with a specific collective goal and evolve largely through conscious efforts to improve cooperation (Alvarez et al., 2010; Provan & Kenis, 2007). 这三种形式之间的根本区别在于,除了公司管理者之外,其他利益相关者是否参与治理;这种参与的范围从无正式角色(在中心辐射型形式中),到通过代表参与(在主导角色治理形式中),再到平等参与(在共享治理形式中)。需要注意的是,我们并非主张(或反对)让所有利益相关者参与治理过程;我们的理论仅适用于参与联合价值创造的那部分利益相关者。对于这些利益相关者而言,参与治理既不是理想状态,也不是幻想。例如,员工长期以来一直参与许多欧洲公司的治理,尽管这一事实在很大程度上被代理理论学者忽视了,他们往往侧重于股东与高层管理者之间的双边契约(Aguilera & Jackson, 2003)。在目标导向型网络的治理小文献中,也普遍描述了多个利益相关者参与治理的情况,这些网络是由三个或更多自治组织组成的,旨在实现特定的集体目标,并通过有意识地努力改善合作而不断发展(Alvarez et al., 2010; Provan & Kenis, 2007)。
The three governance forms in our typology also have something fundamental in common: each of the three forms requires trust to be chosen and can generate trust when it governs stakeholders’ interactions satisfactorily. Trust has been argued to be an essential ingredient of cooperative relationships by stakeholder theorists (Harrison et al., 2010; Wicks et al., 1999), scholars studying interorganizational collaborations (Zaheer, McEvily, & Perrone, 1998), including cross-sector collaborations (Bryson, Crosby, & Stone, 2006), and researchers studying individual stakeholders, such as employees (Robinson, 1996) and consumers (Morgan & Hunt, 1994). Contrary to some (e.g., Adler, 2001), but in line with Ostrom, we do not view trust as a governance form, but as a consequence of having a set of rules in place that effectively addresses the collective action problems that actors encounter in their interactions. As such, our theory also contributes to the debates around the control-trust dynamics of governance (Long & Sitkin, 2018). All three forms involve control to reassure stakeholders disposed to cooperate that they will not be the dupe of others that may not cooperate in the absence of control. However, this control is exercised by different actors (managers and/or peers) in the different forms, which also leads to different types of trust. Trust has been conceptualized inconsistently across levels of analysis and sometimes even within literatures studying the same level (Long & Sitkin, 2018), and one important message from our typology is that it is useful to distinguish between interpersonal trust and system trust to fully grasp the relationship between control and trust. 我们的类型学中的三种治理形式也有一个根本的共同点:这三种形式中的每一种都需要信任的选择,并且在令人满意地治理利益相关者互动时能够产生信任。利益相关者理论家(Harrison等人,2010;Wicks等人,1999)、研究组织间合作的学者(Zaheer、McEvily和Perrone,1998),包括跨部门合作(Bryson、Crosby和Stone,2006),以及研究个体利益相关者(如员工(Robinson,1996)和消费者(Morgan和Hunt,1994))的研究人员,都认为信任是合作关系的基本要素。与一些人(例如Adler,2001)的观点相反,但与Ostrom一致,我们不将信任视为一种治理形式,而是将其视为一套有效解决行动者在互动中遇到的集体行动问题的规则的结果。因此,我们的理论也有助于围绕治理的控制-信任动态的辩论(Long和Sitkin,2018)。这三种形式都涉及控制,以向倾向于合作的利益相关者保证,在没有控制的情况下,他们不会成为可能不合作的其他人的受害者。然而,这种控制由不同形式中的不同行动者(管理者和/或同行)行使,这也导致了不同类型的信任。信任在分析层面的概念化不一致,有时甚至在研究同一层面的文献中也是如此(Long和Sitkin,2018),而我们类型学的一个重要启示是,区分人际信任和系统信任对于充分理解控制与信任之间的关系非常有用。
Our third contribution is to shed light on the comparative effectiveness of the three stakeholder governance forms in relation to two important characteristics of joint value creation activities— namely, complexity and dynamism—that, according to Ostrom, affect the effectiveness of communities in dealing with collective action problems. While we have focused on the nature of joint value creation activities to identify contingency factors, future research could examine other contingency variables, such as characteristics of stakeholders. Among others, we would expect the three governance forms to vary with respect to how effectively they can handle a high level of stakeholder mobility and a high level of motivational heterogeneity among stakeholders (i.e., diversity regarding stakeholders’ goals and the values they espouse). These two characteristics of stakeholders are important features of modern knowledge-intensive economies, where stakeholders’ voluntary turnover has increased over time and where joint value creation increasingly involves stakeholders from different sectors and from different national cultures. 我们的第三个贡献是揭示三种利益相关者治理形式在与联合价值创造活动的两个重要特征(即复杂性和动态性)相关的比较有效性方面的差异——根据奥斯特罗姆的观点,这两个特征会影响社区处理集体行动问题的有效性。虽然我们侧重于联合价值创造活动的性质以识别权变因素,但未来的研究可以考察其他权变变量,例如利益相关者的特征。此外,我们预计这三种治理形式在有效处理高程度的利益相关者流动性以及高程度的利益相关者动机异质性(即利益相关者目标和他们信奉的价值观方面的多样性)方面会有所不同。这两个利益相关者特征是现代知识密集型经济体的重要特征,在这些经济体中,利益相关者的自愿流动随时间增加,并且联合价值创造越来越多地涉及来自不同部门和不同国家文化的利益相关者。
Besides identifying circumstances under which each form can effectively govern joint value creation, our theory also reveals tensions that must be managed in one or several of the governance forms. First, the tension between speed, accuracy, and legitimacy in governance-related decision-making exists in all three forms, but is greater in the hub-and-spoke and shared governance forms. Second, building on Ostrom’s work reveals a tension between the use of graduated sanctions and the use of the strong identification mechanism of the clan (Adler, 2001; Ouchi, 1979, 1980), which has recently been promoted by stakeholder theorists as the best way to manage for stakeholders when stakeholders are highly interdependent (Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016; Jones et al., 2018). A well-developed sanctioning scheme is not easy to reconcile with the strong common identity of a clan because it makes differences in interests more salient to stakeholders. The clan mechanism works only as long as stakeholders see others as very similar to themselves and a clan approach should therefore suppress these differences. One important reason to look beyond the clan mechanism as a solution to collective action problems and consider Ostrom’s approach is that the clan can only solve collective action problems if the stakeholders have internalized the common identity, which factually eliminates the goal incongruence between stakeholders (Ouchi, 1979). Yet, some stakeholders may want to preserve their own identity. This is highly likely for collectives that are (partly) outside of the firm’s traditional boundaries, such as labor unions and supplying firms, but it may even be the case for “inside” stakeholders, given the variance in organizational identification found by organizational behavior scholars (Ashforth, Harrison, & Corley, 2008). 除了确定每种形式能够有效治理联合价值创造的情况外,我们的理论还揭示了在一种或多种治理形式中必须加以管理的紧张关系。首先,在与治理相关的决策中,速度、准确性和合法性之间的紧张关系存在于所有三种形式中,但在中心-辐射型和共享治理形式中更为突出。其次,基于奥斯特罗姆的研究,揭示了分级制裁的使用与氏族的强烈认同机制的使用之间存在紧张关系(Adler, 2001;Ouchi, 1979, 1980),利益相关者理论学者最近将这种机制推广为在利益相关者高度相互依赖时管理利益相关者的最佳方式(Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2016;Jones et al., 2018)。完善的制裁机制难以与氏族的强烈共同身份相协调,因为它会使利益差异对利益相关者更加突出。只要利益相关者认为他人与自己非常相似,氏族机制就能发挥作用,因此氏族方法应该会抑制这些差异。超越氏族机制作为解决集体行动问题的方案并考虑奥斯特罗姆方法的一个重要原因是,只有当利益相关者内化了共同身份时,氏族才能解决集体行动问题,而这实际上消除了利益相关者之间的目标不一致(Ouchi, 1979)。然而,一些利益相关者可能希望保留自己的身份。对于(部分)处于公司传统边界之外的集体(如工会和供应公司),这种情况极有可能发生,但对于“内部”利益相关者而言,也可能存在这种情况,考虑到组织行为学者发现的组织认同差异(Ashforth, Harrison, & Corley, 2008)。
While we examined the comparative effectiveness of the three stakeholder governance forms, we do not presume that the most effective governance form will always be the one adopted. In governance, like in operations, stakeholders may face collective action problems. Adopting the governance form that leads to the highest joint value created may not be in the best interest of some individual stakeholders, because they would appropriate more of the joint value created with another governance form— creating, here too, a tension between collective and individual interests. For example, while we have, in line with stakeholder theory, assumed that the firm’s managers wish to manage for stakeholders and therefore aim to maximize joint value creation, they may, in practice, press stakeholders to accept a hub-and-spoke form because it gives them more latitude to decide on the division of the value created jointly, and therefore also the possibility to appropriate more of it— even if more value would be created with another form. Other powerful stakeholders may similarly push for a governance form that benefits them rather than the collective. Future research should investigate the factors that, besides trust, affect the choice of a governance form. Following arguments in organizational economics (Williamson, 1975), we would expect higher competition in product and factor markets to put pressure on stakeholders to adopt an efficient form of governance, lest they be outcompeted. Yet, in the many cases in which competition is not extremely harsh, other factors are also likely to play a role, such as stakeholders’ past (positive or negative) experiences with different governance forms. 在我们考察三种利益相关者治理形式的相对有效性时,我们并不假定最有效的治理形式会被一直采用。在治理中,就像在运营中一样,利益相关者可能面临集体行动问题。采用能创造最高联合价值的治理形式,可能并不符合某些个别利益相关者的最佳利益,因为他们若采用另一种治理形式,能攫取更多的联合价值——这同样会在集体利益与个人利益之间造成张力。例如,尽管我们根据利益相关者理论假定,公司的管理者希望为利益相关者进行管理,因此旨在最大化联合价值创造,但在实践中,他们可能会迫使利益相关者接受一种中心辐射式(hub - and - spoke)的治理形式,因为这种形式让他们有更多的自由度来决定共同创造的价值的分配,从而也有机会攫取更多的价值——即便采用另一种形式能创造更多的价值。其他强大的利益相关者也可能同样推动有利于自身而非集体的治理形式。未来的研究应调查除信任之外,影响治理形式选择的因素。根据组织经济学的相关论点(威廉姆森,1975),我们预计产品和要素市场的更高竞争会迫使利益相关者采用高效的治理形式,否则他们将在竞争中被淘汰。然而,在竞争并非极为激烈的许多情况下,其他因素也可能发挥作用,例如利益相关者过去对不同治理形式的(正面或负面)经验。
To conclude, we encourage others to further develop stakeholder theory as a platform to integrate the knowledge accumulated in the many subfields in management that have discussed (explicitly or implicitly) the governance of cooperation among interdependent actors whose interests are not fully aligned. While this knowledge is currently fragmented, researchers across these many subfields evoke the same mechanisms (trust, reciprocity, collective identity) to explain why actors cooperate, regardless of whether these actors are individuals or groups, and regardless of whether these actors are inside or outside traditional firm boundaries. If researchers attempt such a synthesis, we believe that they will likely identify additional governance forms, some of which may be context specific, but some of which may be relevant across subfields. One such form involves creating a separate administrative entity to take on the role of governance leader in a network of organizations (Provan & Kenis, 2007). While we have focused on the governance forms that could sustain managing for stakeholders, the dimensions of our typology could be used to describe any governance form and to probe into the theoretically important question of whether governance forms described in different subfields are one and the same, or whether they are different. Similarly, the contingency variables that we identified, and other variables that future research might add, could be used to probe into the practically relevant question of when different governance forms are likely to be most effective. 总之,我们鼓励他人进一步发展利益相关者理论,将其作为一个平台,整合管理众多子领域中积累的知识,这些子领域已明确或隐含地讨论了相互依赖行为体(其利益并非完全一致)之间的合作治理。尽管当前这些知识是零散的,但来自这些众多子领域的研究人员都援引相同的机制(信任、互惠、集体认同)来解释行为体为何合作,无论这些行为体是个人还是群体,也无论其是在传统企业边界之内还是之外。如果研究人员尝试进行这样的综合,我们认为他们可能会发现更多治理形式,其中一些可能具有情境特异性,但另一些可能在不同子领域中具有相关性。其中一种形式涉及创建一个独立的行政实体,在组织网络中担任治理领导者(Provan & Kenis, 2007)。虽然我们一直关注能够维持利益相关者管理的治理形式,但我们的类型学维度可用于描述任何治理形式,并探究一个理论上重要的问题:不同子领域中描述的治理形式是同一的,还是不同的。同样,我们确定的权变变量以及未来研究可能添加的其他变量,可用于探究一个实际相关的问题:何时不同的治理形式可能最有效。
