Misery loves company: the spread of negative impacts resulting form an organizational crisis
We describe how negative impacts emanating from an organizational crisis that initially strikes only one organization can transcend the boundaries of that organization and affect others in the industry. This "spillover" process is driven by stakeholders who take action against other organizations in the industry that have, or are perceived to have, the same organization form as the initial organization because it increases the uncertainty about the reliability and accountability of these organizations. In this crisis spillover process, stakeholders will partially rely on external institutional intermediaries to render assessments of the initial crisis and its impacts. Additionally, we argue that the spillover process is contingent on the characteristics of the organizational form to which the stricken organization belongs, characteristics of other organizations in the same industry, and characteristics of the industry itself. One consequence of the spillover process is preventive actions undertaken by other organizations in the same industry - actions which we term "preferential detachment". Finally, we speculate that the spillover process, coupled with differential mortality, might move crisis-prone industries toward more robust structures over time..Printed Journal
