Double Trouble: Containing Public Disapproval Arising from an Interplay of Stigmatized Categories

Abstract: This study addresses the question of how interplays of stigmatized categories might trigger public disapproval and stigma response strategies. We develop two categories: possession of network ties with home‐country governments and market entry into salient industries in target nations. Based on a comparative study of four Chinese firms’ acquisitions in the United States and Australia, we show that (1) firms face different levels of disapproval amid differing interplays of the stigmatized categories and that (2… Show more

“…We hope this special issue and this editorial can help consolidate existing research on organizational stigma, and open new areas for contribution, both conceptually and empirically. From more traditional contexts – international business operations (Tsui‐Auch et al, 2022) or banking (Frandsen and Morsing, 2022; Roulet, 2015) to less traditional ones – television reality shows on drag queens (Campana et al, 2022), martial arts (Helms and Patterson, 2014) or kink associations (Coslor et al, 2020) – studies of organizational stigma have shown the polyvalence and theoretical usefulness of the concept. While the literature is still evolving, it is beginning to reach a maturation phase, with stabilized definitions and links with other relevant areas of research and connate concepts (Pollock et al, 2019).…”

“…Leveraging the concept of organizational stigma for international business research, Tsui‐Auch et al's (2022) study, ‘Double Trouble: Containing Public Disapproval Arising from an Interplay of Stigmatized Categories’, explores the disapproval faced by firms that may be stigmatized by certain audiences for multiple, even mutually exclusive, reasons. The study brings in geopolitical arguments to the social evaluation literature at the organizational level by identifying the country of origin and entry into specific new strategic markets as potentially potent sources of stigma.…”
