摘要：We integrate and extend research on causal ambiguity, indicating the principal causal paths from ambiguity to performance and discussing the connections between empirical findings and resource-based expectations. We then develop the linkage between causal ambiguity and management perception. Drawing on experimental and field research, we give testable propositions linking ambiguity, perception, and firm performance; integrate this research with studies of causal ambiguity; and suggest directio...

摘要：Our objective is to discuss, in the organizational change literature, the recurring use of what we call the sameness principle, along with another principle, inspired by contemporary philosophy and somehow present in the organizational ethics literature. called otherness. We review four classic organizational change approaches, underscore the limitations of the sameness principle, and position otherness relative to current organizational ethics literature. We then emphasize the role of powerfu...

摘要：By working with and through the paradoxes present in the resource-based view (RBV) of strategic management, scholars can advance understanding concerning the contradictions and tensions inherent in creating and sustaining superior firm performance. We identify and discuss various RBV paradoxes, illustrating how paradoxical thinking can enhance theorizing and open up new vistas for knowing and understanding. Finally, we discuss the utility of the paradoxical perspective in furthering RBV schola...

摘要：Nelson argues that we should trust the auditing profession and collect more data before taking action to reform the auditing system. We argue that the risk of doing nothing is greater than the risk associated with reform, and that the arguments Nelson makes have been exploited by the auditing industry to defend a system that destroys the independence of audits for the financial benefit of the auditors themselves.

摘要：We extend the concept of celebrity from the individual to the firm level of analysis and argue that the high level of public attention and the positive emotional responses that define celebrity increase the economic opportunities available to a firm. We develop alpha theoretical framework explaining how the media construct firm celebrity by creating alpha dramatized reality in reporting on industry change and firms' actions. Firms contribute to this process by taking nonconforming actions and ...

摘要：By considering the amount of uncertainty perceived and the willingness to bear uncertainty concomitantly, we provide a more complete conceptual model of entrepreneurial action that allows for examination of entrepreneurial action at the individual level of analysis while remaining consistent with a rich legacy of system-level theories of the entrepreneur. Our model not only exposes, limitations of existing theories of entrepreneurial action but also contributes to a deeper understanding of imp...

摘要：I present a model of capability reconfiguration, integrating the Schumpeterian perspective on technological discontinuities with the dynamic capabilities literature to explain the responses of incumbents to technological change. I identify substitution, evolution, and transformation as three mechanisms of capability reconfiguration and then link the choice of reconfiguration mechanism to the nature of technological change and to the attributes of capabilities. I conclude that the extent to whi...

摘要：Moore, Tetlock, Tanlu, and Bazerman conclude that recent auditing reforms are misguided and insufficient. I argue that Moore et al. do not consider sufficiently how recent reforms reduce the likelihood of audit failure by affecting the incentives and actions of audit clients as well as auditors. I conclude that further research is necessary to understand the effects (both intended and unintended) of recent reforms before enacting further reforms.

摘要：A series of financial scandals revealed a key weakness in the American business model: the failure of the U.S. auditing system to deliver true independence. We offer a two-tiered analysis of what went wrong. At the more micro tier, we advance moral seduction theory, explaining why professionals are often unaware of how morally compromised they have become by conflicts of interest. At the more macro tier. we offer issue-cycle theory, explaining why conflicts of interest of the sort that comprom...
