Drawing on a qualitative, comparative study of three corporations that pursue such a purpose, we examine how they navigate and deal with profit while deeply embedding their organizational purpose. Using boundary work theory, we identify discursive, calculative, and structural profit-related practices that support both collaborative and competitive boundary work. We demonstrate that profit is not simply a potential outcome of an organizational purpose but is a mechanism for embedding (or impeding) organizational purposes within corporations. Our findings contribute to the accounting literature by enriching our understanding of how profit-related practices can be used to navigate the boundary between the corporation, its organizational purpose, and its broader set of stakeholders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Organisational Purpose and the Boundaries of Profit: A Field Study of Cooperative and Mutual Enterprises Date: Time: If you would like to attend, please&#8230; <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/2024\/03\/28\/management-and-organisation-research-community-seminar-dr-paul-thambar\/\" rel=\"bookmark\"><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11659,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[118,6],"tags":[849,210],"class_list":["post-16494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","category-research","tag-mo","tag-research-seminar"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11659"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16494"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16494\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16634,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16494\/revisions\/16634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
