Book Description
Several CEOs are receiving significant media attention for taking public positions on controversial social and environmental issues largely unrelated to their core business, ranging from gay marriage to climate change to gender equality. We provide the first evidence that such “CEO activism” can influence public opinion and consumer attitudes. Our field experiment examines the impact of Apple CEO Tim Cook’s public statements opposing a pending religious freedom law that critics warned would allow discrimination against same-sex couples. Our results confirm the influence of issue framing on public opinion and suggest that CEOs can sway public opinion, potentially to the same extent as prominent politicians. Moreover, Cook’s CEO activism increased consumer intentions to purchase Apple products, especially among proponents of same-sex marriage.

Book Description
This dissertation, organized in two studies, takes an in-depth look at the phenomenon of CEO activism: the extent to which top executives take a stand and speak out about polarizing issues that involve society at large, with the intent of shifting the public opinion towards their espoused position. Chapter 1 (Study 1) approaches the phenomenon of CEO activism qualitatively. By analyzing mini case studies of CEOs who have taken public stances on sociopolitical issues, it refines current definitions of CEO activism to reconcile both existing theory on the topic and provide confirmatory evidence on the phenomenon from real data. The findings confirms three conditions proposed by past scholars that CEO statements meet in order to be classified as activism: they address polarizing issues, they are unrelated to the firm's viability and performance, and they are directed at making a change in society rather than within the organization. Study 1 also reveals other critical characteristics of CEO activism: how it varies based on its riskiness, and how it is related to the focal firm. Based in part on the qualitative findings of Study 1, Chapter 2 (Study 2) turns to the organizational consequences of CEO activism. Using stakeholder alignment theory and the literature on executive symbolism, it frames CEO activism as a sensegiving process and focuses on the effects of CEO activism on organizational outcomes. I propose that the effects of CEO activism on firm performance are contingent upon whether CEO activism is perceived as congruent with employees' dominant political ideology. As a symbolic action, CEO activism has the power to influence employees' values and goals; therefore, when it is aligned with employees' political ideology, it will engender a positive employees' cognitive, affective and behavioral response in the organization, which will ultimately benefit firm performance. However, the positive outcomes derived from an alignment between CEO activism and employees' political ideology, will be hindered by the extent to which organizational members perceive the executive as not invested in the activism. When CEO activism is not consistent over time, it is perceived as merely a gesture. Furthermore, CEOs who are also firm founders tend to amplify the effects of CEO activism. All of these findings were derived from tests of a sample of 236 CEOs who engaged in activism between 2015 and 2018 and a total of 880 firm-year observations. By integrating additional data of non-activist CEOs of S&P1500 companies, Study 2 also includes post-hoc and supplementary analyses to test for endogeneity concerns, treatment effects, as well as for the plausibility of my theoretical mechanism.

Book Description
"Never Silent is a gorgeous book . . . Peter Staley has written an electrifying primer for anyone who's thinking/worrying/wondering about how to change/save the world." —Tony Kushner, Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright of Angels in America 2022 Lambda Literary Award Finalist The previously untold stories of the life of the leading subject in David France's How To Survive A Plague, Peter Staley, including his continuing activism In 1987, somebody shoved a flyer into the hand of Peter Staley: massive AIDS demonstration, it announced. After four years on Wall Street as a closeted gay man, Staley was familiar with the homophobia common on trading floors. He also knew that he was not beyond the reach of HIV, having recently been diagnosed with AIDS-Related Complex. A week after the protest, Staley found his way to a packed meeting of the AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power—ACT UP—in the West Village. It would prove to be the best decision he ever made. ACT UP would change the course of AIDS, pressuring the National Institutes of Health, the FDA, and three administrations to finally respond with research that ultimately saved millions of lives. Staley, a shrewd strategist with nerves of steel, organized some of the group's most spectacular actions, from shutting down trading on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange to putting a giant condom over the house of Senator Jesse Helms. Never Silent is the inside story of what brought Staley to ACT UP and the explosive and sometimes painful years to follow—years filled with triumph, humiliation, joy, loss, and persistence. Never Silent is guaranteed to inspire the activist within all of us.
