Co-creation.How does it become lasting capital?

I study how people work together in businesses: how contributions are recognised, value builds up, and institutions support shared growth.

SELECTED WORK

From theory to mechanisms to practice.

Start with three selected works to see how I investigate questions, map relationships and bring ideas into real work.

HOW I WORK

Connect a question to real work.

Research, systems design, planning, execution and improvement. Follow one question through models, plans, work records and reusable methods.

02 / PAPERS

From thinking to argument

All papers

Here are my papers and working drafts, along with questions I am still studying.

01
Public manuscriptCorporate Governance

From Shareholder Primacy to the Stakeholder Corporation

Shareholder primacy treats the firm as a nexus of contracts and puts shareholder wealth first. This paper proposes a stakeholder governance framework for an economy reshaped by AI, financialization, and the reorganization of globalization.

02
Working paperStakeholder Governance

Intertemporal Conflict and Willingness to Continue Stakeholder Cooperation

Joint improvement often asks a supplier to advance tooling, trials, and on-site costs and to share cost-reduction or volume gains only later. Delay raises waiting and exposure and can weaken willingness to continue. Buyers therefore offer compensation promises against present input. Williamson showed that specific investment needs credible commitment;[1] reciprocity and network studies show that long cooperation can organize knowledge sharing.[2][3] What remains is whether, when stated returns and risk notes are held comparable, the verifiability and enforceability of a promise can ease the damage of delay—and whether the supplier’s liquidity constraint swamps that easing.

03
Working paperStakeholder Governance

The Influence Mechanism of Stakeholder Fairness Perception on Voluntary Contribution Behavior

Sustained firm growth depends on employees and teams continuing to contribute knowledge, collaboration, innovation, and relationship maintenance beyond formal duties. Prior research shows that organizational justice predicts organizational citizenship behavior, yet most studies still treat employees primarily as internal subordinates. Fewer studies explain, from the standpoint of participants in a cooperative scheme, why people keep making hard-to-price voluntary contributions after current compensation has already been paid. This paper links Phillips’s principle of stakeholder fairness with the literatures on organizational justice, social exchange, and organizational trust, and proposes a mechanism of stakeholder fairness perception → trust → voluntary contribution behavior.

Blockchain — The Underlying Technology of Stakeholder Capital Theory

This book treats blockchain as institutional technology and examines digital assets, contribution recognition, capital formation, entitlement design, collaborative governance and evolvable institutions through two linked lines: information copying versus asset transfer, and social consensus versus technical execution.
