profile on a sporting goods company
appears in a newspaper story about a sporting goods manufacturer.....:
Het xxx sportbedrijf yyy was vijf jaar terug de gebeten hond van ***het aktiewezen.*** Het rumoer is vrijwel verstomd. YYY schrijft gewoon verder aan zijn ongewone succesverhaal. Durf wordt er beloond. 'Treed buiten de gebaande paden', luidt aan de duizenden medewerkers het advies.
So far I'm wondering if this can be translated with "protest trend" or perhaps something else? TIA!

Given the additional info, \"action groups\" would appear to be appropriate.
