Suresh Dasari, Indian School of Business, suresh_dasari@isb.edu<br />
Initial conditions, contingencies, self reinforcing mechanisms and lock-in are extensively used dimensions in the path dependence<br />
approach. The main objective of the paper is to study the existing literature on social entrepreneurship and analyzing it using path<br />
dependence approach. Using path dependence approach to study the existing business models can aid in minimizing potential<br />
threats – to firm sustainability - in the future. The paper theoretically contributes to the literature on building sustainable business<br />
models in public interest to address social and environmental challenges more proactively.<br />
8452 Corporate Performance- Ownership Structure and Competition<br />

This paper investigates the relation between the ownership structure, competition and the performance of corporations if<br />
ownership is made multidimensional and also is treated as an endogenous variable. We find no statistically significant relation<br />
between ownership structure and firm performance. This finding is consistent with the views that diffuse ownership, while it may<br />
exacerbate some agency problems; also yields compensating advantages that generally offset such problems. Consequently, for<br />
data that reflect market-mediated ownership structures, no systematic relation between ownership structure and firm performance<br />
is to be expected.<br />

Extensive research has been done on corporate strategies of firms in competitive market. But, the emphasis on research from the<br />
transitional policy environment point of view is minimal. At the basic level, this paper reviews the literature on corporate strategy.<br />
In the context of transitional policy environments, this paper aims to discuss the applicability of learning from the literature on<br />
corporations in present scenario. This argument opens new dimensions of research on “the effect of changes in policy environment<br />
on the corporate strategies adopted by firms” for further study. Case examples from India are included for clarity on some aspects.
