Personality similarity to peers was positively associated with promotion in units with high individualism. In units with high collectivism, supervisor-subordinate personality similarity was instead a significant predictor of advancement. Behavioral integration between candidates and their peers ...

摘要：Research in entrepreneurship and life cycle theories of the firm have both suggested that new ventures may outgrow the managerial capabilities of their founding teams, at which point the founders may be replaced by professional managers. This study explored factors affecting founder departure. Results indicate that founder departure increases with firm size, decreases with founder ownership and board membership, and has a U-shaped relationship with firm growth. Founders who work in research an...

摘要：Despite a growing sense that speed is critical to organizational success, how an emphasis on speed affects organizational processes remains unclear. We explored the connection between speed and decision making in a 19-month ethnographic study of an Internet start-up. Distilling our data using causal loop diagrams, we identified a potential pathology for organizations attempting to make fast decisions the speed, trap. A need for fast action, traditionally conceptualized, as an exogenous feature...

摘要：We examine the adoption of an organizational practice by subsidiaries of a multinational corporation (MNC) under conditions of institutional duality. Drawing on institutional theory, we identify two factors influencing the adoption of a practice: the institutional profile of the host country and the relational context within the MNC. We also specify conditions leading to ceremonial adoption. General support is found for the model based on data from 534 managers and 3,238 nonmanagerial employee...

摘要：Although recruitment is a practical strategy young and poorly connected firms can use to overcome constraints on product innovation, it has received little attention. Younger firms and poorly connected firms have lower rates of product innovation than their advantaged counterparts and recruit more from rivals to surmount resource constraints. Younger firms recruit veterans, and poorly connected firms poach from large firms. However, recruit characteristics have stronger effects on product inno...

摘要：Applying the agency theory perspective, we examined the relationship between board structure and the average political risk of firms' international manufacturing operations in a sample of 95 manufacturing firms from the Fortune 500. Our results indicate an association between board composition, CEO duality, and the level of international political risk present in a corporation's portfolio of foreign direct investment.

摘要：Following a power perspective, this study is a longitudinal examination of the antecedents of CEO dismissal followed by inside succession. Our theory highlights interest conflicts and competition within top management. We propose that CEO origin, CEO tenure, non-CEO inside directors, and senior executive ownership are important antecedents of CEO dismissal followed by inside succession. Evidence from a sample of 387 large U.S. corporations suggests that non-CEO senior executives frequently pla...
