摘要:This study analyzed 119 strategic alliances formed during the period 1987-91. Using the event study methodology, we found that announcements of technological alliances enjoyed greater abnormal returns in the stock market than marketing alliance announcements. Consistent with our expectations, abnormal returns were negatively correlated with firm profitability and size, indicating that investors perceived more profitable, larger firms as capturing less of the gain generated in alliances, Indeed...

摘要:This study brings a fresh approach-a learning perspective-to the literature examining whether firms expand internationally through start-ups or acquisitions. Hypotheses concern how this strategic choice is influenced by a firm's multinational diversity and product diversity. The results show that multinational diversity leads to foreign start-ups rather than acquisitions. Produce diversity has a curvilinear effect on the tendency to use start-ups. The curvilinear effect becomes weaker at highe...

摘要:We examined the impact of surface-level (demographic) and deep-level (attitudinal) diversity on group social integration. As hypothesized, the length of time group members worked together weakened the effects of surface-level diversity and strengthened the effects of deep-level diversity as group members had the opportunity to engage in meaningful interactions.

Although friendships across groups were not significantly related to perceptions of intergroup conflict, negative relationships were associated with higher perceived intergroup conflict. Perceptions of intergroup conflict were also significantly related to indirect relationships through friends, and an am...

摘要:A scenario study and a field survey were used to investigate why managers often lay off employees in a curt, abrupt fashion. The extent to which mismanagement (versus external conditions) caused the need for layoffs was found to affect managers' reported feelings of discomfort and the time designated for dismissal meetings with employees. Further results showed that mismanagement was also related to managers' anticipation of negative consequences from actions by layoff victims, such as hostile...
