| Abstract: | This paper builds on prior theory and research on attention and identity to examine whether and how industries publicly attend to external events. Events are critical triggers of institutional transformation and industry evolution. However, they must first become the focus of public attention to have this effect. The authors draw on a paired case comparison of media coverage of eight nonroutine events affecting the natural environment and the U.S. chemical industry. The authors employ both deductive and inductive analysis to develop a model and hypotheses to explain two research questions. First, what determines the initial public attention to an event and second, when and why do certain events attain high and sustained levels of industry attention. |
