The Dark Side of Complex Information Technology Intensive Firms1
نویسندگان
چکیده
While the Complex Information Technology-Intensive (CITI) fi rms of the ‘new economy’ have contributed to expanding the context and creation of social value in unprecedented ways they still may have a dark side: A substantial portion of this new benevolent image and laudable reputation rests on a very specifi c framework of self interest and self serving preservation and perpetuation with three central tenets: regulatory capture, regulatory arbitrage, and regulatory opportunism. In this paper the attempt is made to expose and reconcile this confl icted character of CITI fi rms, as their seeming imperative of social value creation is being achieved with controversial quasi-regulatory practices.
