High Status Firms and Corporate Illegality

I and Rekha recently published an article in the Academy of Management Journal (Krishnan and Kozhikode, 2015). This article was mentioned in today's Globe and Mail. Here is an excerpt from it.

"The research posits that the sense of security enjoyed by elite organizations has been greatly overestimated. Many are so eager to maintain their reputations that they will engage in deviant behaviours – even acts of illegality – out of fear that they may not be able to meet the expectations of associates and shareholders."
