In Chapter 1, I examine plants in the pulp and paper industry, many of which went beyond the requirements of a particular water pollution regulation. I model their behavior as a rational response to uncertainty in pollution control and derive their expected responses to regulatory enforcement. I test the implications of the model using panel data regression techniques. I find that regulatory fines have a significant general deterrent effect, even on plants that never violated their regulatory limits.

In the first essay, we study whether the increasingly large and concentrated ownership stakes by passive investors influence shareholders activism in the form of shareholder proposals. We find a positive association between passive ownership and the total number of proposals initiated, proposals with different types of sponsors, the rate of proposal withdrawal, vote-for percentage, and finally 1-year abnormal returns following the annual meeting date at which time the proposals were put forth. To mitigate endogeneity concerns, we use the Russell reconstitution as an exogenous shock. Our findings highlight the ability and power that passive investors have to affect corporate policy by supporting fellow shareholder sponsored proposals.In the second essay, we investigate the effectiveness of shareholder voice. In 2017, The Big Three institutional investors launched campaigns to increase gender diversity on corporate boards. We estimate that their campaigns led firms to add at least 2.5 times as many female directors in 2019 as they had in 2016 and to promote female directors to key board positions. Firms increased female representation by relying less on managers existing networks to identify candidates and by placing less emphasis on candidates executive experience. Our results highlight index investors ability to influence firms governance structures and shareholder advocacy's potential to expand women's participation in corporate leadership more extensively than government mandates. In the third essay, we examine whether and how local religiosity has an impact on corporate attitude towards corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities and how CSR activities directly impact firm value. Employing an extensive US sample from 1991 to 2015, we find that firms headquartered in more religious regions undertake a greater level of CSR activities. Furthermore, the CSR activities of firms located in highly religious regions are positively valued in the stock markets as we observe a positive association between CSR and Tobin's Q for the companies that are headquartered in high religious regions. The association is stronger when firms are less visible to non-local investors. This study enriches the emerging literature on the influence of local cultural factors on corporate behavior and encourages future research on the various aspects of how the local environment impacts firms ethical behaviors.

Corporate Governance and Sustainability in a Post-Truth World reviews the evolution of five types of corporate governance and their different sustainability objectives. It discusses the challenges for boards in achieving sustainability from an environmental, economic, employment, and social perspective and introduces the concept of a political tragedy of the commons if boards do what is in the best interests of their profitability only, without considering their responsibilities and the consequences to their employees. This book explores ways of helping prevent such negative outcomes and it does so without political bias. John Zinkin explores how boards can focus on the three most important assets of the organization: its reputation, its people, and its processes. It is aimed at managers, board members and all those who influence them, including shareholder activists, corporate legal personnel, politicians, activists and general readers interested in applying some of these suggestions in their roles as directors.

This research provides a descriptive analysis of radical organizational change in the context of corporate adoption of sustainability policies. The study consists of three essays which focus on three different aspects of change towards sustainability. The first essay uses survey data from 922 senior-level executives and is aimed at understanding how the concept of sustainability is framed by organizations and their managers. By contrasting the practical application of sustainability principles with the varied academic definitions in the literature, this essay provides a further refinement on the theoretical understanding of corporate sustainability. Survey results demonstrate a widespread use of uni-dimensional definitions of sustainability, and there is evidence that size and ownership impact the dimensionality of managers' sustainability definitions. The second essay investigates how organizations determine the content of a change process. In particular, it tests whether the diffusion of a specific environmental practice implementation of environmental management systems is directed by institutional pressures. I argue that change may be suboptimal if the choice of change is driven by these institutional pressures rather than by firm specific contingencies. Therefore, this essay examines one mechanism by which action towards organizational change can fail to attain beneficial results for the organization. The study finds that institutional pressures do impact the adoption of environmental practices; however the direction of impact for mimetic pressures is in the opposite direction of that theorized. These results reveal some interesting differences between mimetic pressures for market versus non-market driven corporate objectives. The final essay analyzes the process and implementation of organizational change toward sustainability. Using a simulation methodology this essay studies how different change sequences impact the duration and performance of a change process. The simulations show that the sequence in which different organizational elements are changed does indeed impact the length of the period of organizational transformation. The results also demonstrate a relationship between sequence and a firm's ability to maintain or recover competencies during a period of transition. With these three essays, my dissertation captures the evolution of organizational change by analyzing; 1 how the need for change is framed, 2 what organizational elements are selected for adaptation, and 3 the order in which these elements are changed.
