My dissertation develops theoretical frameworks to explain how societal expectations and stakeholders' preferences are managed by firms when they adopt a controversial practice. I examine corporate downsizing, a context which involves ambiguity regarding how stakeholders would perceive it, in South Korea and the U.S. In three quantitative studies, I find evidence supporting the existence of a novel form of decoupling (i.e., actually implementing downsizing without public statement of adoption) instead of the usual form of decoupling (i.e., symbolically adopting a practice without implementation); identify the instances when corporate reputation limits a firm's adoption of downsizing (and when it does not); and show different market and media responses to downsizing contingent on the firm's identity orientation. The results have important theoretical and practical implications for questions ranging from the socio-cultural forces that impact symbolic management strategies to the increasingly important role of stakeholders in corporate impression management.
