Research Project – In the Image of its Maker: Does Corporate Ownership define Sustainability Outcomes?
This project aims to undertake a comprehensive investigation of the ownership phenomenon to enhance the theoretical understanding the relationship between a firm’s ownership structure and sustainability related performance. This three-year project will consist of developing an ownership typology that provides a rationale for ownership’s impact on governance and performance, followed by development of a validated and longitudinally stable measure for ownership, and will conclude with an investigation of ownership’s relationship with key environmental and societal outcomes.
Carleton University’s Research Achievement Awards recognize outstanding research achievement and research excellence at the University.
