摘要：Population ecology is used to explain the role of human resource management (HRM) in enhancing the performance of initial public offering (IPO) companies. We examined the determinants of structural inertia and developed hypotheses on the relationship between HRM and organizational performance, The results indicate that two human resource variables, human resource value and organization-based rewards, predict initial investor reaction and long-term survival, The rewards variable negatively affe...

摘要：This study proposes that hybrid organizational forms provide a way to overcome the agency problems of adverse selection and moral hazard in selecting, assimilating, and monitoring new managers. Consequently, hybrid forms allow firms to overcome managerial limits to firm growth and therefore grow faster. Specifically, the study shows empirically that the degree to which a firm emphasizes franchising as its expansion strategy has a significant, positive effect on its growth and survival.

摘要：We tested the effects of innovation and market complexity on firm performance. Generational technological change-a major advance within a technology regime-fosters the emergence of niches and local rivalry. Findings hom the U.S. microcomputer industry between 1982 and 1991 suggest accelerated markets reward innovativeness that differentiates firms within a niche but not across niches. Changing niches confers a short-term penalty. Strong performers adopt new technology quickly, without changing...

摘要：An underplayed topic in the strategic management literature is firms' use of political strategies, such as lobbying the government for trade protection. This study developed and tested a simple model examining the magnitude, scope, and timing of U.S. steel firms' use of political strategies to address U.S. trade policy. The findings showed that the industry's largest firms dominated the politics surrounding trade protection in order to capture expected benefits from trade protection or to post...

摘要：This study proposes a relatively simple computational model of organizational evolution based on the genetic algorithm. The model includes three organizational processes: variation, adaptation, and selection of routines. We use the model to demonstrate theoretically that environmental selection influences adaptation and adaptation, in turn, influences the selection process in a Darwinian model of evolution. Results of computer simulations are consistent with empirical observations, including t...

摘要：Perceived discrimination is hypothesized to influence employee outcomes above and beyond other work stressors. Data from 139 Hispanic employees of multiple organizations supported this prediction. In addition, growing up in the United States, membership in the most numerous Hispanic subgroup, salary, and work experience moderated the effect of perceived discrimination on three employee outcomes-organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and work tension.

摘要：Using data from the National Opinion Research Center's General Social Survey, we compared the organizational membership networks and core discussion networks of managers and nonmanagers. For the two groups, the networks differed on a variety of characteristics, including ties to outside organizations and to co-workers, network size, and closeness of ties. We also found preliminary evidence that network differences were associated with income differences for nonmanagers.

摘要：This study explored the effects of social capital, measured both absolutely and relatively, on CEO-compensation in a sample of 61 CEOcompensation committee chairperson dyads. We controlled for variables representing economic, social comparison, and other social influence explanations for CEO compensation. Social similarity did not influence pay, but a chair's absolute social capital and a CEO's social capital relative to his or her chair's significantly increased CEO compensation. The potentia...

摘要：Using the justice and impression management literatures as a guide, we examined company responses to customer complaints in a field study. Explanations in which a company accepted responsibility for a problem resulted in the most favorable pattern of complainant reactions, Inclusion of coupons or other reimbursements also led to more favorable reactions. Favorable reactions were muted when the product in question was expensive or when the company was perceived to be tardy in responding to a co...

摘要：In 590 for-profit and nonprofit firms from the National Organizations Survey, we found positive associations between human resource management (HRM) practices, such as training and staffing selectivity, and perceptual firm performance measures. Results also suggest methodological issues for consideration in examinations of the relationship between HRM systems and firm performance.
