Abstract
- The spread of contentious practices from activism-prone to mainstream firms is studied. This spread is triggered by the adoption of such practices by firms known to resist activism. This effect is similar to that brought by former US President Richard Nixon's visit to China, which led other countries to open relations with that country.
