Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to empirically and theoretically inquire into the development of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). My ethnographic work at the PRME (UN-Supported Principles for Responsible Management Education) Secretariat (at the Global Compact Office) has enabled me to gain the first-hand information on how the two initiatives have worked. Especially drawing upon the concept of "institutional entrepreneurship" and "institutional work" developed by scholars of organizational research, I have attempted to construct theoretical frameworks to analyze and understand the development of these initiatives.
