This session of the summer school will focus on the implications of decision makers being often “multiply embedded” in organizations, places, informal social networks, and more formal associations. The interdependent decisions and actions of multiple agents operating in a distributed environment are significantly changing both decision-making and strategy implementation processes. This shift requires a reconsideration of the governance and management conceptual toolkit. Sociological and organizational theories, such as theories of organizational politics, social movements, relational embedding, and cognitive framing, will be presented, discussed, and applied to understand the conditions under which global firms and their network of collaborators address environmental, social, and governance decisions.
