The article "Walking the talk(s): Organisational narratives of integrated reporting" provides an interesting exploration of how early adopting Australian firms contribute to the institutionalisation of integrated reporting (IR). However, there are some potential biases and limitations in the study that need to be addressed.
Firstly, the study is limited by its focus on only one participant in the institutionalisation process. It would have been more comprehensive if multiple participants were included to provide a broader perspective on the topic. Additionally, it is unclear whether the institutionalisation of IR will ultimately be successful, as this was not explored in depth.
Furthermore, while the authors use Gabriel's poetic analytics to show how sensemaking activities contribute to institutionalisation, there is a risk of bias in interpreting these narratives. The authors may have unconsciously selected or interpreted data that supports their preconceived notions about IR and its institutionalisation.
Moreover, the article does not explore potential risks associated with IR implementation or consider alternative viewpoints that may challenge its effectiveness. This lack of critical analysis could lead readers to accept IR as a universally positive development without considering potential drawbacks or limitations.
Overall, while "Walking the talk(s)" provides valuable insights into early adopters' experiences with IR and contributes to understanding how firms engage with this practice, it would benefit from a more balanced and critical approach that considers alternative perspectives and acknowledges potential biases.
