Status Driven Strategy Divergences: An STATUS DRIVEN STRATEGY DIVERGENCES: AN ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF STRATIFICATION AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONTEXT ON ENTREPRENEURIAL STRATEGY By Patrice Perry-Rivers A dissertation presented to the faculty of Rutgers Business School Department of Management and Global Business Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Organization Management Written under the direction of Professors Jerome Williams and dt ogilvie and approved by _______________________________________ Dr. Jerome D. Williams _______________________________________ Dr. dt ogilvie _______________________________________ Dr. Jeffrey A. Robinson _______________________________________ Dr. G. Thomas Lumpkin Newark, New Jersey October, 2013 STATUS DRIVEN STRATEGY DIVERGENCES: AN ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF STRATIFICATION AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONTEXT ON ENTREPRENEURIAL STRATEGY By Patrice Perry-Rivers A dissertation presented to the faculty of Rutgers Business School Department of Management and Global Business Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Organization Management © Patrice Perry-Rivers, 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION This dissertation examines the implemented strategy differences between entrepreneurial actors with different status positions embedded in socially stratified environmental contexts. Using a three study-model, I empirically examine my theory that groups of actors embedded within the same context but holding different status positions within it will develop different organizational identities and engage in divergent entrepreneurial strategies based on their differential access to resources for their entrepreneurial ventures. I find that differences are evident in the implementation of strategic actions between groups of enterprises primarily composed of actors with divergent status positions. These differences are manifest in their primary entrepreneurship types, value creation emphases (social or economic), and social interest orientations, as demonstrated in study one; in their social issue emphases strategies, as demonstrated in study two; and in their decisions to engage in entrepreneurship and their responses to economic adversity, as demonstrated in study three. Each of these studies supports the central proposition of this dissertation that stratification as an environmental context and the status positions it assigns to groups of entrepreneurial actors produces heterogeneous entrepreneurial strategies. ii PREFACE “For everyone to whom much is given, of him shall much be required; and of him to whom men entrust much, they will require and demand all the more.” —Christ (The Amplified Bible, Luke 12:48) Just a few months before graduating from college over a decade ago, I had the opportunity to make a life-changing decision. Though my plans were all set to attend graduate school at a good school near my parents’ home (free food, free rent, free gas money), I was asked to, instead, go and live and work in the inner-city for a small, completely underfunded and understaffed organization that wanted to make a difference in the lives of the poor. In the midst of high unemployment among our target group, even among those who regularly sought jobs, and sporadic violent crime, we had bright hopes for the future of the parents we helped and the children we read to and assisted with homework after school. Every day, the little organization for whom I worked and that I now understand to be a social enterprise innovatively tried to come up with funding strategies, publicity for our cause, and social programs to give if only a few of the people we worked with a fighting chance. For a few of them, I believe our efforts worked. Ever since this indelible experience, a light has been turned on in my head, and, quite honestly, my heart. It has endured throughout my corporate career, tenure as the owner of an entrepreneurial firm, and carried over into what I intend to make a successful academic career, beginning with the completion of this Ph.D. I want to understand how institutionally-assigned status impacts how groups of economic actors interact with one iii another and implement strategies. What constraints and enablements does status impose, structurally and cognitively, on economic and entrepreneurial actors both those “who have been given much” and those who have very little? How do diffuse, and seemingly impermeable economic stratification consequences manifest within firms or between groups, and what can be done to mitigate them? What organizational-level responses does stratification evoke or suppress, facilitate or prevent to societal issues by the social enterprises and socially responsible firms committed to redressing them? This dissertation represents my first “official” academic inquiry to answer some of these questions. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation would not be complete without me thanking several people who have made my pursuit of this Ph.D. possible. First, God, without faith in whom or confidence in His love I would have been an even greater control-freak without the courage to accomplish this task. To You I am forever grateful. My sweet husband, who loves me with his actions and lets me pursue all of my dreams—even at great sacrifice. Thank you, Keith, for holding down the fort (and paying the mortgage) in Virginia while I worked on this personal dream. I must also acknowledge my two little troopers, Joshua and Gabriel, the motivation for all of my efforts to be successful. Like my mom did for me, I intend to give you the best lives you can have and achieving this degree is part of that plan. My mom—Attorney Edmonds, you are the best and forever my exemplar. Thanks for your love, undying support, and inspiration. Aunt Yvonne—I could not have accomplished this without someone who could love and care for my boys while I worked. Thanks for demonstrating your love for us in this special way. Thanks, also, for sharing your expertise as a retired English professor. Your proofreading of this dissertation and my multiple papers leading up to this dissertation helped me tremendously. Dr. dt ogilvie—Without your assistance in facilitating my acceptance, funding, and completion of this program, I may not be accomplishing this milestone now. Thanks for your wisdom, guidance, and academic support. I appreciate you so much. v Dr. Jerome Williams—Thanks for all of your wisdom, humility, mentoring, guidance, example, and support. I sincerely appreciate all I have learned from you in just these past few years. Dr. Jeffrey Robinson – Your research topics inspire me and I intend to add to what you have already done in the entrepreneurship field. Thanks, also, for being a great mentor and for all of your specific research guidance, which has been invaluable to this dissertation. Dr. G.T. Lumpkin—Your research on entrepreneurship, and on social entrepreneurship in particular, has been very important in forming my understanding of the field and directing my own research interests. Thanks also for agreeing to serve on my committee and for offering such a wonderful doctoral social entrepreneurship course at Syracuse, which I believe will be helpful to me throughout my academic career. Dr. Nancy DiTomaso – Your class was one of the most enlightening of all the courses I have taken in the three degrees I have pursued. It introduced me to important organizational theory concepts that I can apply in my study of social structure and its impact on entrepreneurship and social responsibility throughout my academic career. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION ............................................................................. ii PREFACE ................................................................................................................................ iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.....................................................................................................v TABLE OF CONTENTS ..................................................................................................... vii TABLE OF TABLES & FIGURES ......................................................................................xi Introduction .............................................................................................................................. 1 Study One - Stratification as an Entrepreneurial Context: Its Effect on the Entrepreneurial Strategies of Social Enterprises ............................................................................................... 5 Research Summary………………………………………………………………………5 Abstract ............................................................................................................................. 5 Introduction………………………………………………………………………………6 Literature Review……………………………………………………………………….11 Hypotheses………………………………………………………………………………25 Methodology…………………………………………………………………………….27 Data Sources, Sampling Protocol and Power Analysis ................................................ 27 Data Analysis Methods .................................................................................................. 31 Measures, Constructs & Variables ................................................................................ 33 Results……………………………………………………………………………………35 vii Discussion……………………………………………………………………………42 Limitations………………………………………………………………………….44 Conclusion……………………………………………………………………………45 References…………………………………………………………………………….47

  • The Influence of Terrorism on Discriminatory Attitudes and Behaviors
    Shades of Intolerance: The Influence of Terrorism on Discriminatory Attitudes and Behaviors in the United Kingdom and Canada. by Chuck Baker A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Global Affairs Written under the direction of Dr. Gregg Van Ryzin and approved by ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ Newark, New Jersey May, 2015 Copyright page: © 2015 Chuck Baker All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Influence of Terrorism on Discriminatory Attitudes and Behaviors in the United Kingdom and Canada by Chuck Baker Dissertation Director: Dr. Gregg Van Ryzin, Ph.D. Terrorism has been shown to have a destabilizing impact upon the citizens of the nation- state in which it occurs, causing social distress, fear, and the desire for retribution (Cesari, 2010; Chebel d’Appollonia, 2012). Much of the recent work on 21st century terrorism carried out in the global north has placed the focus on terrorism being perpetuated by Middle East Muslims. In addition, recent migration trends show that the global north is becoming much more diverse as the highly populated global south migrates upward. Population growth in the global north is primarily due to increases in the minority presence, and these post-1960 changes have increased the diversity of historically more homogeneous nations like the United Kingdom and Canada. This research examines the influence of terrorism on discriminatory attitudes and behaviors, with a focus on the United Kingdom in the aftermath of the July 7, 2005 terrorist attacks in London.

Religious Inequality in America Abstract Sociology has largely ignored class differences between American religious groups under the assumption that those differences “are smaller than they used to be and are getting smaller all of the time” (Pyle & Davidson, 2014, p. 195). This article demonstrates that profound class differences remain amongst American religious groups. These differences are as large as—or larger than—commonly examined forms of inequality such as the gender pay gap and the race achievement gap. Using the most popular categorization of American religious groups, we find that egarr dless of the particular measure examined (years of education, income, socioeconomic index score, and proportion of members with at least a bachelor’s degree) Jews and Mainline Protestants are at the top of the socioeconomic ladder and Evangelical Protestants, both black and white, are at the bottom. Furthermore, religious group significantly predicts both years of education and the overall socioeconomic standing of respondents by itself with basic controls. Likewise, both socioeconomic indicators and education significantly predict the likelihood of being in a specific eligiousr tradition on their own with basic controls.

Editorial: "Complex Religion: Intersections of Religion and Inequality" Abstract What is complex religion and how does it relate to social inclusion? Complex religion is a theory which posits that religion intersects with inequality, especially class, race, ethnicity and gender. The nine articles in this volume examine a wide array of ways that religion intersects with inequality, and how, as a result, it can create barriers to social inclusion. The issue begins with three articles that examine the role of religion and its intersection with race and racialization processes. It then moves to three articles that examine religion’s intersection with socioeconomic inequality. The issue closes with three studies of how religion’s relationship with the state creates and maintains various status hierarchies, even as some religious movements seek to combat inequality. Together, these articles enrichen our understanding of the complex task before anyone seeking to think about the role of religion in social inclusion.

Keister" Duke University Religion is an important determinant of social and economic attainment, but the mechanisms that underlie this relationship are not well understood. Early scholars recognized this connection, but their ideas do not ade­ quately explain contemporary stratification patterns. Recent research doc­ uments robust empirical relationships between religion and material outcomes but has not yet begun to identify causes of these patterns. I fill this gap by providing a comprehensive, contemporary, theoretical expla­ nation of the religion-inequality link that synthesizes ideas from early and more recent research. I draw on ideas from status attainment and life course research to develop a synthetic model that includes religion as both a background and a mediating component. I conclude by providing exam­ ples of implications of the model. These ideas improve understanding of the critical relationship between cultural orientation and material resources. Religion plays an important role in creating and maintaining social and economic inequality, but the mechanisms driving this relationship are not well understood.

Despite growing descriptive evidence of discrimination against minority religious groups and atheists in the United States, little experimental work exists studying whether indi- viduals face differential barriers to receiving public services depending on their religious affiliation. Here we report results from a large-scale audit study of street-level bureaucrats in the American public school system. We emailed the principals of more than 45,000 public schools and asked for a meeting, randomly assigning the religious affiliation/non-affiliation of the family. To get at potential mechanisms, we also randomly assigned belief intensity. We find evidence of substantial discrimination against Muslims and atheists. These indi- viduals are substantially less likely to receive a response, with discrimination growing when they signal that their beliefs are more intense.
