N2 - The corporation is the iconic emblem of modern capitalism. While the corporate form is today widely perceived as an instrument to maximize shareholder value, its institutionalization as an organizational form heavily built on the orientation towards public interests as a constitutive element. In this paper, we trace public interest-orientation in the history of the Austrian corporation, where it has continuously been present for about 200 years. In 1937, public interest-orientation became a codified obligation that, slightly reworded in 1965, has remained an integral part of corporate law until today. Though unquestioned as a principle ever since, its meanings and practical implications for business life have been highly contested, as substantial changes in the political and economic context indicate. As this paper is work in progress, we eventually reflect on the conceptual relevance of such insights for organization studies and formulate avenues for further research we are presently working on.
