“…Complexity of information about company intangibles was a problem for MFI agents. Henningsson et al (2015) noted that FMs tended to trust the stable context of company information and strove to trust top management. Nevertheless, FMs oscillated between exhibiting trust and distrust when reducing the complexity of information on intangible resources and sustainability.…”

Problems arose in the 'Market for information' (MFI) during: the 'dot.com' boom; the Enron case; Northern Rock failure; and during the great financial crisis (GFC) of 2007-09. The paper seeks to extend understanding of the 'market for information' through field research and theoretical sources. It seeks to understand the MFI during relatively stable periods and during periods of rapid change, crisis and failure. It seeks to use these insights to propose changes to reduce the possibilities for negative change and problems in the MFI. Methods Field studies are used to develop an 'empirical narrative' for ongoing MFI structure, process and outcomes during relatively stable periods. The paper develops a 'theoretical narrative' to extend understanding of the MFI empirical insights Findings The paper reveals that MFI structure as: knowledge; and social context; is central to ongoing MFI economic processes for MFI agents. Outcomes include changes in markets, firms and others. Change and problems were means to understand interactions between MFI social structure, knowledge, actions and outcomes as they rendered visible the previously invisible. Originality, Implications The paper demonstrates that a coherent combination of new empirical narrative and theoretical narrative is essential to develop a critical stance, new policy prescriptions and new regulation to deal with problems and change in the MFI. This provides the frame to propose changes in the 'world of knowledge' and in (concentrated and elite) social and economic structures in the MFI. It proposes: making explicit shared knowledge in the MFI; monitoring of change processes: and promotion of active formal learning. 3 MFI during relatively stable periods and during periods of rapid change, crisis and failure. It seeks to use these insights to propose changes to reduce the possibilities for negative change and problems in the MFI. The development of more complete and critical theoretical framework matched to empirical insights is proposed as a key means to stimulate the debate and open up the private world of the MFI. 3. Research method The paper identifies common themes across a related set of qualitative field based research studies (Barnett-Page and Thomas, 2009) in the world of information in finance. The themes and the links between them are used to develop an 'empirical narrative' (Golden-Biddle and Locke, 2007) for the MFI. This in turn provides an empirical focus for developing a theoretical narrative concerning the MFI. The field studies and narratives together provide a more complete explanatory framework to understand and critically analyse the MFI. 'Agents' of interest in the MFI are primarily restricted to company management, analysts and fund managers. Given the scope of the MFI it is difficult to conceive of a single comprehensive field study to explore the nature of the MFI. However, many researchers have conducted field studies into specialist MFI information activities between 1990 and 2016 (see Table 1). The studies shared many common features, i...

“…Neither is there enough research on the subject. Rewards can be effective in the short term, but it is difficult to sustain a long-term effect that determines the success of a company's program (Kohn, 1993;Henningsson et al, 2015). As a result, more behavioral economics research is required at both the organizational and individual levels.…”

The concept of occupational health and safety (OHS) is changing to include more job-related factors, resulting in an enlarged role for OHS management and a greater need for information disclosure in response to social expectations. It is vital for businesses to keep up with the new concept in health management and build a cohesive system if they are to achieve their sustainability goals. This paper examines current regulations and government initiatives to encourage health management and information sharing, as well as company practices in Japan, demonstrating that an increasing number of Japanese companies are adopting the new health management approach. We suggest a government-led H&PM model based on the model proposed by Johanson and Aboagye and best practices in Japan, demonstrating that legislation, policies, and implicit employee-centered stakeholder culture are important factors in the success of government-led projects. It also suggests that, to prevent window dressing and one-time booms, intrinsic motivation and psychological aspects should be researched and addressed more thoroughly.
