摘要:Recent scholarship on the returns to labor market specialization often claims that being specialized is advantageous for job candidates.

We then test whether there is a specialist discount for graduating elite MBAs, as it is a labor m...

Together, organizational attention structures and historical factors generated various types of shared fear among top and middle managers. Top manager...

摘要:We investigate how state capacitythe administrative ability to formulate and implement policyaffects the institutional adoption of new policies and the decoupling of those policies from their original purpose in the face of pressures from professions, multilateral agencies, and imitation among countries. We expect state capacity to reduce the effect of professional and imitation influences, to increase the impact of coercive effects by multilateral agencies, and to lessen decoupling between po...
