The Adaptive Objectives of State‐Owned Enterprises amid Economic and Political Shifts: Evidence from Brazilian Firms, 1973–1993

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.

Using a mixed‐method, history‐to‐theory design, we examine 160 state‐owned and 132 private Brazilian firms from 1973 to 1993. We argue that two mechanisms – appointment politicization and constituency‐protection salience – alter ...
