“…It describes the conglomeration of the influence that economic entities have to affect and/or transform the behavior of individual or collective entities or the predominant logic in other systems (i.e., the political or societal sphere). The economization of the life‐worlds (i.e., expansion of the economic logic into multiple non‐economic spheres) and the borders of economic logic are frequently problematized in the business ethics discipline (e.g., Manzeschke, 2011; Polanyi, 2010; Sandel, 2013; Ulrich, 2008; Wenzlaff, 2019).…”

Corporations significantly influence the public and political spheres. In light of this corporate power in society, academics have criticized the lack of legitimization (i.e., the legitimacy gap) and highlighted a potential divergence between corporate resource allocation and the needs and preferences of the public (i.e., the social issues gap). To address these problems, democratizing organizations has been proposed as a potential solution. In line with this, the authors argue that an increase in corporate power outside the economic realm should be counterbalanced by more democratic corporate governance (i.e., an internalization of democracy). While important groundwork exists, academic attention to these topics remains limited. The authors provide an overview of the literature linking corporate power and the claim for democratizing organizations, advocate for legitimization, identify research gaps, and develop a research agenda to inspire and guide future research efforts. The paper's findings suggest the importance of conceptual and empirical research on the micro‐, meso‐, and macro‐levels and the cross‐level effects, which is needed to advance this incipient research area. Future research must (1) clearly define corporate power and discuss how democratizing organizations can contribute to more legitimate organizational decisions, (2) unveil novel approaches for more democratic corporate governance, and (3) understand the organizational‐ and individual‐level factors necessary for the successful realization of democratic organizations.

“…Die "betriebswirtschaftliche Zurichtung" oder auch "Verbetriebswirtschaftlichung" [18] der Organisation lässt sich als teilprozess einer umfassenderen Ökonomisierung [14,16] jener gesellschaftlichen Sphären begreifen, die bisher von ökonomischen Kalkülen weitgehend ausgespart geblieben sind. Der sozialwissenschaftliche begriff der Ökonomisierung [20,25] liefert eine beschreibung, die nicht auf der Mesoebene der Unternehmung verbleibt, sondern die ebene nationaler und internationaler wirtschaftlicher Prozesse einbezieht. er versucht eine Programmatik zu beschreiben, wie sie in beckers ökonomischem imperialismus formuliert wird: letztlich entspringe alles menschliche Handeln einem ökonomischen aufwand-nutzen-Kalkül - bzw.…”
