摘要：We examine the evolution of a new population of organizations (state offices of dispute resolution) in an emerging institutional field, focusing on how actions at multiple levels interact recursively to enable multiple logics to diffuse. Logics became institutionalized as organizational practices within the field of alternative dispute resolution through four diffusion mechanisms: transformation, grafting, bridging, and exit. By describing the interplay among entrepreneurial efforts, strategic...

摘要：We examine the relationship between multimarket contact and service quality. We offer two hypotheses: (1) multimarket contact negatively affects service quality and (2) multimarket contacts in less competitive markets more negatively affect service quality. We test these hypotheses using U.S. airline on-time performance data to measure service quality. We find that multimarket contact increases delays and that this effect is greater for contacts on more concentrated routes, although the effect...

摘要：Alliance portfolios are ubiquitous and influential for firm performance. Extant research addresses attributes of high-performing alliance portfolios but not how executives originate such portfolios. In our inductive case study of six entrepreneurial rivals in the wireless gaming industry, we find that executives are more likely to originate high-performing portfolios when they visualize their portfolios in the context of the entire industry as opposed to a series of single ties and when they s...

摘要：We study the relationship between sales assistant turnover and labor productivity in 325 stores of a large U.K. clothing retailer tracked over 1995-99. We find that the turnover-productivity relationship is contingent on type of work system. For a large group of part-timers, managed under a secondary work system, the relationship clearly has an inverted U-shape, but for the smaller group of full-timers, managed under a commitment system, the relationship is the conventional negative one. Impli...

摘要：This article explores why engineering students are committed to counterproductive practices. Student informants' work practices appeared to coincide with lay stereotypes about what good engineers do, and they sought to justify those practices as rational. This externalization encouraged them to perform these practices more frequently. We characterize the relationship between the enactment of norms and the externalization of work practices as a dialectical process that helps explain why the stu...

摘要：In this study, we formulated and tested a theory about how heterogeneity among subpopulations affects the degree to which organizations in these subpopulations contribute to and benefit from the overall population's legitimacy. Historical data on banking in Shanghai were used. Firms in subpopulations with a higher grade of membership were found to contribute strongly to the legitimacy of the general population; firms in subpopulations with a lower grade of membership benefited most from legiti...

摘要：Country risk and foreign direct investment (FDI) are negatively associated, yet considerations such as rapid economic growth and lower factor costs are driving multinational corporations (MNCs) to significantly increase FDI into high-risk countries. How do MNCs deal with country risk on an ongoing basis after establishing majority or wholly owned operations? Analyses of 1983-96 data on a large sample of subsidiaries support our prediction that, under uncertainty, MNCs increase the extent of th...

摘要：The aim of this study is to illuminate reputational change processes and identify the underlying theoretical mechanisms. We draw upon extant literature to develop three distinct explanations for reputational change, respectively emphasizing criteria of organizational character, symbolic conformity, and technical efficacy. We evaluate these explanations by examining the reputational consequences of corporate downsizing. Our results show that downsizing exerted a strong, negative effect on reput...
