To challenge their influences, some MSI protagonists, under the influence of institutional thinking, proposes ‘anti-firm’ strategies, such as stronger sanction, more effective monitoring, and developing strategic alliance among non-market stakeholders, in an attempt to redraw the balance of power. By evaluating the effectiveness of the ‘anti-firm’ proposals, this paper argues that targeting trans-national corporations as the villain would simply create a dichotomy of ‘them versus us’. This perspective shows an inadequate understanding of the complex incentive structures of different stakeholders. Preoccupied with the power dynamics within MSIs, other wider dimensions of power inequalities, such as North-South tension, global-local dilemmas, and the legitimacy of non-governmental organisations in MSIs, are all side-stepped.","PeriodicalId":429926,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Corporate Citizenship","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127142633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was written as a teaching aid to help students critically engage with theory, as experience has taught the authors that students engagement with conventional academic articles is problematic. There are three principal theories that inform the story, notwithstanding that the piece also alludes to other contemporary issues and a reader is likely to identify the influence of a variety of theoretical constructs. The three are natural capital, companies selling solutions rather products or services and a construct of humans as being a temporal negotiation between their genetic material and the environment they find themselves in. The first two concepts are, as the article discusses, encapsulated within but not limited to the concept of natural capitalism. The third draws on a construct of a human as being a phenotype. It should be noted that while the story can be read as polemic, this is not the intent, rather the intent is to invoke questioning and reflection to aid critical development.","PeriodicalId":429926,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Corporate Citizenship","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114561534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This movement has been characterised as one that embodies corporate citizenship because such sharing has the potential to benefit all stakeholders; academics, policy makers, charitable sectors and the wider public. In the UK, the Economic and Social Research Council are implementing Open Access compliance guidelines for research that they fund; which is interpreted by individual institutions in their school regulations. In the case of doctoral theses, there is now a requirement for students to provide an electronic format of their final work to be included in their schools online digital repository. In a number of UK institutions, University Awards and Progress Committees will only consider awarding the doctoral degree once these requirements have been satisfied. Although this move to Open Access can be considered as an egalitarian endeavour; this paper argues that an important stakeholder may have been over looked in the march towards progressive dissemination. The temporal space between gaining informed consent from research participants; and the changing nature of the accessibility of outputs can both engender a breach of ethics in terms of the initial agreements negotiated with participants and raise issues around representation in the ongoing dissemination and reformulation of the original work; particularly where visual images are central to research outputs. The paper utilises autoethnography and poetry to reflect on my own encounter with the requirement for Open Access and the ways in which this brings up concerns around ethics, obligations and integrity.","PeriodicalId":429926,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Corporate Citizenship","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132140615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
