• Interorganizational collaboration and the locus of innovation: Networks of learning in biotechnology AI翻译
  作者：Powell, WW; Koput, KW; SmithDoerr, L
  摘要：We argue in this paper that when the knowledge base of an industry is both complex and expanding and the sources of expertise are widely dispersed, the locus of innovation will be found in networks of learning, rather than in individual firms. The large-scale reliance on interorganizational collaborations in the biotechnology industry reflects a fundamental and pervasive concern with access to knowledge. We develop a network approach to organizational learning and derive firm-level, longitudin...
• Patterns of competition: The diffusion of a market position in radio broadcasting AI翻译
  作者：Greve, HR
  摘要：This study examines how existing organizations in an industry come to adopt a new market position in a differentiated market. I argue that the great uncertainty about the consequences of adopting a different market position does not lead to unchanging positions, as often assumed, but instead leads to mimetic adoption among organizations, as some organizations observe others adopting the new position. I test hypotheses developed from this argument in an event history analysis of the diffusion o...
• The mandate is still being honored: In defense of Weber's disciples AI翻译
  作者：Scott, WR
  摘要：In assessing the range and penetration of recent organizational scholarship, Stern and Barley give too much attention and weight to work that appears in the core organizational journals and not enough to work reported in broader social science journals, in journals devoted to specialized arenas such as education and medical care, and to the book literature. A survey of this broader domain suggests that organizational researchers continue to honor Weber's legacy and to explore the impact of soc...
• Organizations and social systems: Organization theory's neglected mandate AI翻译
  作者：Stern, RN; Barley, SR
  作者单位：Stanford University
  摘要：We argue that the initial three-part mandate for organization theory contained study of (1) internal organization structure and process; (2) relations between organizations and environmental actors; and (3) the impact of organizations on the broad social systems in which they were embedded. Though the influence of organizations in society has increased over time, the social system component of the field's mandate has faded from the research agenda. This paper proposes that the diminution of th...
• Organizational discretion in responding to institutional practices: Hospitals and cesarean births AI翻译
  作者：Goodrick, E; Salancik, GR
  作者单位：Carnegie Mellon University
  摘要：While others have tried to accommodate agency and interests within institutional theory by directly incorporating a strategic choice perspective, we propose here that institutions are primary and exist as the context within which interests operate. We argue that uncertainty provides discretion, implying that organizational influence on practice will be greatest when institutional standards are most uncertain. We examine these arguments in the context of cesarean section surgeries in hospitals ...
• Two types of bureaucracy: Enabling and coercive AI翻译
  作者：Adler, PS; Borys, B
  摘要：This article proposes a conceptualization of workflow formalization that helps reconcile the contrasting assessments of;bureaucracy as alienating to employees or as enabling them to perform their tasks better. Interpreting formalization as an organizational technology, we ruse recent research on the design of equipment technology to identify two types of formalization-enabling and coercive. Whether the impact of formalization on employees' attitudes is positive or negative is, we argue, a func...
