摘要：This study examined the relationships among international diversity, product diversity, and firm performance. For a sample of large American industrial multinational enterprises (MNEs), it showed a consistent quadratic relationship between product diversification and MNE performance but minimal performance differences across different measures of international diversity. Analysis of the interactions of international diversity and product diversity indicates a weak effect from increasing intern...

摘要：We employed a qualitative interview technique to develop an inductive model of punishment from a managerial perspective. Findings suggest that managers feel pressure from a variety of sources-organizations, work groups, punished subordinates, and themselves. Managers are also aware that punishment is a highly charged cognitive and emotional event with broad and far-reaching effects that range well beyond punished subordinates and simply changing their attitudes and behaviors.

摘要：A study of 1,200 employees from five Chinese cities found support for the cross-cultural applicability of Karasek's job demands-decision latitude model. The highest anxiety and depression were related to high job demands and low control, and the highest jab satisfaction and life satisfaction were related to high job demands and high control. However, there were individual differences in the interactive effects of job demands and control and group differences in the applicability of the model, ...

摘要：This study examined whether strategic decision-making processes are related to decision effectiveness, using a longitudinal field study design. We studied 52 decisions in 24 companies to determine if procedural rationality and political behavior influence decision success, controlling for the favorability of the environment and decision implementation. Our results indicate that decision making processes are indeed related to decision success. Results are discussed in terms of the importance of...

摘要：This article develops a framework for studying cross-functional teams in organizations that focuses on three domains: organizational context, internal process, and outcome measures. The framework was developed from qualitative data from over 200 individual and group interviews, written descriptions, and team observations. We then operationally defined this model through a set of questionnaire items and validated it through quantitative analysis of data from 565 members of crossfunctional teams...

摘要：In this study, we examined how firm-specific competitive conditions influence firms' patterns of market entry and exit, focusing on two features of firms' competitive conditions: market domain overlap, which measures the potential for competition, and multimarket contact, which measures the potential for mutual forbearance. A dynamic analysis of California commuter airlines from 1979 through 1984 showed that increases in market domain overlap raised airlines' rates of market entry and exit, bu...

摘要：Personal initiative, a concept akin to entrepreneurship and organizational spontaneity, was compared in East and West Germany, Differences were hypothesized to be the results of occupational socialization, particularly of work control and complexity, rather than of a selection effect. A representative longitudinal study was conducted in the East and a cross-sectional study in the West. Lower initiative at work was found in the East; control and complexity affected changes in initiative, The re...

摘要：We present a computational model of organizational evolution according to which the global dynamics of organizational populations emerge from simple rules of local interaction among individual organizations. Under a variety of simulated evolutionary conditions, the model's behavior is in qualitative agreement with empirical observations of actual organizational populations. Estimates on the synthetic data are compared with those obtained by empirical studies of founding processes. The key insi...

摘要：This study investigates the proposition that Japanese companies have a greater propensity than U.S. companies to sustain commitment to R&D in the face of fluctuating profits and liquidity. The analysis showed that profitability declines led to increased R&D intensity in Japan. These effects were not confined to members of Japanese financial keiretsu, or industrial groups. The R&D intensity of U.S. companies fluctuated directly with two-year lagged profitability and liquidity variables, but the...
