Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

An institutional logic represents the way a particular socioeconomic world works. Building on an institutional logics approach, this paper examines how a multinational corporation balances market and social logics. Specifically, we examine an inclusive supply chain in the Mexican business unit of a leading multinational. Employing 50 indepth interviews, observations, and further secondary data, we find that while the market logic is not unexpectedly superordinate, the multinational corporation is able to manage both logics successfully through specific mechanisms beyond employing basic tradeoffs. This research contributes to understanding the management of diverging market and social logics, and adds to the theoretical understanding of inclusive supply chains, while also showing how a multinational corporation can help to address the global challenge of poverty by mobilizing an inclusive supply chain.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
