Item Open Access Contemplating the Gap-Filling Role of Social Intrapreneurship(University of Oregon School of Law, 2016-01-27) Belinfanti, Tamara C.Social intrapreneurs occupy an intersectional space within the large corporate form at the crossroads of innovation, profit, and social good. They are often described as “disruptive” because they devise new ways to tackle problems, usually social in nature, in a manner that disrupts traditional operating models or long-standing assumptions. Although much has been written about social intrapreneurs in managerial literature, legal literature has been silent. This Article reverses that trend and develops a theory of social intrapreneurship from a corporate law perspective. Specifically, this Article posits that social intrapreneurship in terms of praxis, characteristics, and process can be conceptualized as serving a bridging function between discrete parts of a corporation’s business and, on a meta-level, between the canonical schism of “profit” and “social good.”Item Open Access The Implications of Oregon’s TriQuint Decision for Enforcing Forum Selection Bylaws(University of Oregon School of Law, 2016-01-27) Vincent, Eleanor J.The significant increase in multi-forum litigation of intra-corporate disputes over the last decade has imposed considerable monetary costs on stockholders and raised uncertainty in outcomes. Forum selection bylaws, unilaterally adopted by corporate boards of directors and generally restricting the forum for intra-corporate lawsuits to the state of incorporation, have emerged as a popular solution to this costly problem. In 2013 and early 2014, courts both inside and outside of Delaware rendered favorable decisions for corporations on these bylaws, signaling general acceptance of their validity and enforceability. However, an Oregon court’s contrary decision has thrown this general acceptance into question.
