Greetings fellow researchers,
I am currently engaged in a comprehensive study that involves an in-depth analysis of various theories, and I am encountering a challenge in categorizing them into their respective domains, specifically: economic and corporate governance theories, and sociology and psychology theories.
Could anyone provide insights, criteria, or methodologies on how to effectively distinguish and categorize these theories? What are the fundamental elements or characteristics that define and separate economic and corporate governance theories from those in sociology and psychology?
Any recommendations for resources, literature, or personal insights would be immensely appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
I have questions more than an answer to your question. 1) what makes your study "comprehensive."? 2) what theories? how did you decide which ones to analyze?? Domains? Do you mean what they cover or encompass? Economic and corporate governance theories vs. those of sociology and psychology? Have you read Peter Blau "on the Nature of Organizations? do you mean as in who determines policy/who rules in corporate settings? if that is what you are interested in then why "versus" . Of course the focus in Sociology is on relationships and the focus in Psychology is on the individual. And perhaps the focus in corporate governance is on what makes for profit. so I am not sure of what you are attempting to accomplish?. That's for you to figure out?
Robyn Goldstein I appreciate your response greatly. Currently, I am immersed in a research project entitled "Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Factors and Firm Value: A Systematic Literature Review of Theories and Empirical Evidence". In this paper review, I have analyzed 75 academic papers, unearthing 35 distinct theories that are instrumental in shaping the narrative of ESG factors’ impact on firm value.
My objective is to categorize these theories meticulously. To achieve a more nuanced understanding, I am focusing on delineating them into specific categories: Economic and Corporate Governance Theories, and Sociology and Psychology Theories.
