REDE GROUP'S PROJECT "MICRO AND MACROFOUNDATIONS OF ORGANISATIONAL RESPONSES TO GRAND CHALLENGES" RECEIVES ONE OF THE "KNOWLEDGE GENERATION PROJECTS" GRANTS FROM THE MINISTRY OF SCIENCE AND INNOVATION

The project "MICRO AND MACROFOUNDATIONS OF ORGANIZATIONAL RESPONSES TO GRAND CHALLENGES", presented by the researchers Xosé H. Vázquez and Antonio Sartal, from REDE group, has just received a grant from the Ministry of SCIENCE and Innovation in the call for KNOWLEDGE GENERATION PROJECTS (2022). This project has also obtained additional funding for a grant associated with the training of pre-doctoral research staff.  

The project is based on organisational institutionalism and combines micro (individuals, organisations) and macro (industries, institutions) elements to comprehensively analyse the antecedents and moderators of organisational responses to grand challenges, i.e., complex environmental and social issues that companies must address beyond short-term economic objectives. While conventional wisdom suggests that institutional pressures should lead firms to conform to these expectations to avoid legitimacy penalties, empirical evidence contradicts this notion, as regulatory deviation does not always lead to firm insulation.
