摘要：Successful product development requires managing tensions-coping with fluctuating contingencies to foster innovation and efficiency. To investigate this challenge, we explored the nature, dynamics, and impacts of contrasting project management styles. Our conceptual framework details emergent and planned styles. Following 80 projects over two-year periods, we find that these styles offer disparate but interwoven approaches to monitoring, evaluation, and control activities; use of these activit...

摘要：This study examines the role of professional associations in a changing, highly institutionalized organizational field and suggests that they play a significant role in legitimating change. A model of institutional change is outlined, of which a key stage is theorization, the process whereby organizational failings are conceptualized and linked to potential solutions. Regulatory agencies, such as professional associations, play an important role in theorizing change, endorsing local innovation...

摘要：The foreign expansion of firms is treated as an instance of organizational and strategic change shaped by structural inertia and imitation. A longitudinal analysis of South Korean firms in China shows that business group experience and imitation among firms from the same home-country industry increase the rate of foreign expansion. Industry imitation effects tend to decrease after a firm makes its first foreign entry.

摘要：Firms' increasing use of external labor arrangements has been difficult to reconcile with resource-based propositions concerning the development of organizational capabilities. We tested hypotheses drawn from the transaction costs perspective to predict which jobs firms would fill through external arrangements rather than through traditional employment relationships. The findings may help to explain the apparent paradox between the increasing externalization of workers and their use as a sourc...

摘要：The performance of 94 groups on 13 different open-ended tasks was studied. At the individual-team-member level, domain knowledge and performance-relevant behavioral measures of the three components of Amabile's (1983, 1996) theory of individual creativity related in predicted ways to individual differences. Support was found for new cross-level processes, labeled team creativity-relevant processes. At the group level, these processes moderated the relationship between aggregated individual cre...

摘要：Examining the relationship between governance and corporate innovation strategies, we found, in opposition to the assumption that owners have a unified voice, differences among governance constituencies' preferences for corporate innovation strategies. The managers of public pension funds preferred internal innovation, but professional investment. funds' managers preferred acquiring external innovation. The profiles of boards of directors also shaped these innovation strategies. Inside directo...

摘要：In industries characterized by network externalities, a single technology standard often rises to dominance, locking out competing technologies. This research demonstrates that despite path dependency, it is possible to model the technology selection process and predict likely outcomes. This work extends previous work in network externalities by demonstrating that in addition to its installed base and the availability of complementary goods, a firm's learning orientation and timing of entry al...

摘要：A sample of 154 new auditors was surveyed to investigate how patterns of social relationships affected socialization. Characteristics of the newcomers' informational networks (size, density, strength, range, and status) related to three different indicators of learning: organizational knowledge, task mastery, and role clarity. Also, the structure of the newcomers' friendship networks related to their social integration and organizational commitment. By linking socialization outcomes to social ...

摘要：We examined the relationship between the ownership structure and financial performance of 334 Japanese corporations for the 1986-91 period. The positive relationship we found between ownership concentration and financial performance is consistent with agency theory predictions. In addition, we observed a more pronounced profit redistribution effect characterized by the transferring of financial resources from more to less profitable firms. These findings indicate the need to account for both e...

摘要：We develop a theory wherein the pay of non-CEO executives can be explained by micro-level opportunity structures-the intersection of functional position, CEO background, human capital, and firm strategic resource allocation decisions. Our theory suggests a positive association between pay and a position made visible by resource allocation decisions, a functional background similar to that of the CEO, and a position that helps the firm manage strategic resource allocations. A unique longitudina...
