摘要：This article introduces to the organizational sciences a relatively new cross-classification analysis technique based on a statistic called Hilde-brand's del. Del is shown to be superior to the other means available for analyzing cross-classification data for several reasons. Its most notable features are that it allows a researcher to develop and test explicit a priori predictions where other procedures do not, provides a strength-of-association measure, and is independent of sample size. The...

摘要：Case surveys bridge the gap between nonmothetic surveys and idiographic case studies to combine their respective benefits of generalizable, cross-sectional analysis and in-depth, processual analysis. Methodological fragmentation has limited systematic utilization of numerous managerially relevant case studies. This article develops a comprehensive procedure synthesizing the individual strengths of previous effort and illustrates this method in a case survey of mergers and acquisition. The empi...

摘要：This study reviews the use of outside informants-individuals not employed in the firm being studied-in strategy research reported in major journals. We empirically explored the expertness of these informants in terms of interrater reliability and accuracy of their ratings compared to those provided by insiders. Four groups of outside informants in the airline industry-consultants, security analysts, stakeholders, and academics-and senior airline executives whose companies initiated certain com...

摘要：Measures of strategy made at the product and business level were compared using data from a large multiproduct U.S. firm. The business-level results were not found to be good indicators of product-level strategies. Also, contrary to previous research, no evidence of the use of combined cost-leadership and differentiation strategies was found at the product level.

摘要：For decades, difference scores have been widely used in studies of congruence in organizational research. Although methodological problems with difference scores are well known, few viable alternatives have been proposed. One alternative involves the use of polynomial regression equations, which permit direct tests of the relationships difference scores are intended to represent. Unfortunately, coefficients from polynomial regression equations are often difficult to interpret. We used response...

摘要：The 1993 Special Research Forum on Configurations is dedicated to the proposition that configurational theory and research can significantly advance understanding of people, groups, and organizations. In this introductory essay, we define configurational approaches to organizational analysis, trace the history of configurational thinking, distinguish the contingency approach from the configurational approach, and highlight key contributions of the five empirical articles that make up the speci...

摘要：The administrative reorganization of top-level managers in 200 colleges and universities was examined over a ten-year period. Findings showed that organizational size, age, and change in size work in configurations to affect administrative reorganization. Arguments focusing on competing forces for structural change and stability provided explanations for differences in levels of reorganization. These forces originate in countervailing pressures from increased complexity associated with large s...
