Whereas scholars have often relied on their own professional networks to gather small samples of executives or leveraged proxy measures compiled from publicly-available documents, we propose and demonstrate an alternative approach which we term Experimental Shareholder Activism (ESA). ESA allows researchers to directly study executive leadership via the shareholder proposal process—under Rule 14a-8—by purchasing relatively small amounts of stock in a company, and experimentally manipulating features of shareholder proposals to elicit responses from key stakeholders within the company. This approach allows for the direct examination of executive decision making with the benefit of quasi-experimental design. We describe the method, identify vocational and career-relevant areas of inquiry best suited to ESA, and discuss manipulations readily embedded in shareholder proposals. We then provide a toolkit for scholars interested in studying executive decision making on employee career and Human Resource-related outcomes, and demonstrate the viability of such an approach via a pilot experiment.10aFinance10aManagement1 aKalodimos, Jonathan1 aLeavitt, Keith  uhttps://dev.business.oregonstate.edu/biblio/experimental-shareholder-activism-novel-approach-organizational-research00713nas a2200193   4500008004100000245010400041210006900145260000900214300001300223490000700236653001500243100002100258700001700279700001900296700002600315700002400341700001900365856013500384       2010                        eng d00aAn examination of whether and how racial and gender biases influence customer satisfaction ratings.0 aexamination of whether and how racial and gender biases influenc  c2010  a238-264.0 v5310aManagement1 aHekman, David, R1 aAquino, Karl1 aOwens, Bradley1 aMitchell, Terrence, R1 aSchilpzand, Pauline1 aLeavitt, Keith  uhttps://dev.business.oregonstate.edu/biblio/examination-whether-and-how-racial-and-gender-biases-influence-customer-satisfaction-0
