These challenges arise from tensions between mandated stakeholder engagement and shareholder-focused decision making. Legal frameworks require broad stakeholder involvement, yet investors prioritize cost efficiency, frequently omitting collaboration expenses from initial budgets. This misalignment creates governance traps, leading to prolonged negotiations, inefficiencies, collective action problems, and diminished trust among managers, stakeholders, and investors. This special section of <jats:italic>California Management Review</jats:italic> examines the dynamics of large-scale stakeholder enfranchisement. This introduction presents a 2 × 2 framework categorizing megaproject governance based on legal mandates for stakeholder inclusion and the degree of shareholder-centric investment decisions. The featured articles propose strategies to enhance stakeholder collaboration and address governance challenges. Together, they suggest that large-scale stakeholder engagement can be effective when organizations enjoy ample resources or strong cooperative norms. In their absence, governance traps may emerge, hindering efficiency and broad-based wealth creation. Alternative social arrangements can be employed to navigate and escape these governance traps.","PeriodicalId":9605,"journal":{"name":"California Management Review","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143822722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article leverages an in-depth case study of Sweden’s High-Capacity Transport program to develop a process model that demonstrates how three interconnected value pathways—goal gearing, participatory engagement, and program leveraging—ensured the gradual expansion of program goals and of interest among diverse participants who enhanced collective value creation and contributed to the success of this multi-stakeholder collaboration.","PeriodicalId":9605,"journal":{"name":"California Management Review","volume":"107 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143766489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The emergence of blockchain has prompted organizations to seek support from this technology to protect IP. However, the potential applications, challenges, and benefits for OI projects at the technology/legal interface are not well understood. This article shows that while blockchain technology is not the solution to all IP protection problems, it has the potential to significantly improve the status quo by creating an immutable record of the existence, integrity, and ownership of files at specific points in time. It also offers guidance to practitioners on how to extend and complement their existing IP protection, ultimately enhancing their negotiating leverage and collaboration with OI partners.","PeriodicalId":9605,"journal":{"name":"California Management Review","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143723146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the open-endedness of any collective effort to “chip away” at a grand challenge, these intersectoral collaborations must align the scope of a shared goal with the governance arrangements distributing decision-making authority. By juxtaposing insights from fieldwork on intersectoral collaborations formed to aid local homeless communities in São Paulo (Brazil), California (USA), and Manchester (UK), this research presents four goal-governance alignments to achieve coordinated collective action. To pursue a targeted goal, an organization can set up or join a local structure of centralised ( <jats:italic>Partnerships</jats:italic> ) or distributed ( <jats:italic>Coalitions</jats:italic> ) decision-making authority. To pursue broader goals, an organization can evolve into a <jats:italic>Mission</jats:italic> by engaging simultaneously in multiple, mutually reinforcing local partnerships and coalitions. Or evolve into <jats:italic>a Movement</jats:italic> by not only adding local structures of collective action, but also adopting a participation architecture to encourage collaboration at scale from third parties outside the organization’s managerial control.","PeriodicalId":9605,"journal":{"name":"California Management Review","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143695353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amazon’s experiences are relevant to corporations working to advance decarbonization.

This article’s analysis of six leading organizations unveils the tensions that top executives need to anticipate and address in each phase of the implementation process to support and progress bottom-up organizing.
