Exploring the Influence of Religion and Cultural Values on the Evolution and Management of Firm-Stakeholder Ties
The Case of Iran’s Textile Industry
The aim of this paper is to explore the roles of religion and culture in how firm-stakeholder relationships evolve and are managed. It uses an ‘embeddedness’ framework (Granovetter, 1983; Uzzi, 1997, 2003) as its theoretical frame of reference to study how and why culture and religion can influence the varying types of ties that constitute firmstakeholder relationships.
