Forty Years On: Still Searching for the Corporation-Society Paradigm

Author

Listed:
  • Post, James E.

Abstract

In 1975, the Journal of Economic Literature published an article by Lee E. Preston entitled “The Corporation and Society: Search for a Paradigm”. The article became an important landmark in the evolution of the young, but rapidly growing, field of business and society. This paper reviews Preston’s effort to articulate the corporation-society paradigm. The author, who served as Preston’s research assistant when the original paper was written and, later, as his coauthor, discusses Preston’s “search for a paradigm”, offers an assessment of where the field stands today, and discusses whether, or where, a new paradigm is likely to emerge.
