摘要：This article continues to operationally define and test the resource-based view of the firm in a study of the major U.S. film studios from 1936 to 1965. We found that property-based resources in the form of exclusive long-term contracts with stars and theaters helped financial performance in the stable, predictable environment of 1936-50. In contrast, knowledge-based resources in the form of production and coordinative talent and budgets boosted financial performance in the more uncertain (cha...

摘要：This study used a sample of middle-level managers to investigate the effects of organization-level agency-theory-based variables on the proportion of variable compensation that managers receive. Level of task programmability was associated with an increased use of variable pay, and long-term relationships between an agent and principal were associated with decreased use. Results supported the classical organization-theory prediction that under higher risk, organizations use higher proportions ...

Results from 100 subsidiaries in five countries indicate that compensation strategy is influenced by the agency problem, defined by the subsidiary's cultural distance from its headquarters market, lateral centralization, and senior management's commitment to the parent. In addition, the association between the overall design of the compensation strategy an...

摘要：Links between theoretically determined preentry conditions and the postentry performance of diversifying entries made by large industrial firms are examined. Industry, firm, and relatedness variables explained up to 26 percent of the variance in performance, which was measured as the survival, sales growth, and market share growth of entrant businesses. Selling and advertising intensity in an entered industry, scale of entry, and the interaction of scale and seller concentration have strong in...

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：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：Relationships among health care costs, social support, and occupational stress are investigated. Health care cost data were collected over two years for 260 working individuals. Multiple regression analyses were used to control for initial health care costs, age, and gender in predicting later costs; independent variables were stress, strain, social support, and their interactions. Main effects and interactions each accounted for significant proportions of the variance in various health care c...

We conducted both an experiment with master's-level business students and a held survey of venture capitalists regarding their relations with the CEOs of their portfolio companies. The findings revealed the importance of timely feedback in promoting positive relations between investor and entreprene...

摘要：Early research found little relationship between CEO pay and firm performance. Therefore, resent work on CEOs' compensation has focused less on the substantive nature of the job performed by such executives and more on the social and political context in which their pay is set. This study returns attention to the substantive nature of CEOs' jobs. Specifically, we argue that CEOs are paid for the level of information processing that their jobs require. Results from four industries support this ...
