摘要:A persistent theme in the academic literature on technological innovation is that incumbent enterprises have great difficulty crossing the abyss created by a radical technological innovation and, thus, go into decline, while new entrants rise to market dominance by exploiting the new technology. However, this tendency is not universal. There are outliers in any population, and much can be learned from examining this group. Here we identify a number of factors that help to explain incumbent per...

摘要:We use a narrative perspective to explore the relevance of the sciences dealing with ecology for management theory and practice, presenting the issues of ecoscience from the perspective of green narrative, based on the evolutionary epic. Adopting an interpretive sensemaking perspective on narrative, we address the narratological basis of the evolutionary epic and examine the potential for the narrative to inform a new relationship between management and the natural environment. We suggest impl...

摘要:How do organizations make strategic choices during the time of fundamental institutional transitions such as those sweeping numerous emerging economies? To answer this question. a two-phase model of institutional transitions is developed in this article. I focus on the longitudinal process to move from a relationship-based. personalized transaction structure calling for a network-centered strategy to a rule-based, impersonal exchange regime suggesting a market-centered strategy. I then identif...

摘要:Linking theories of social capital with theories of multinational corporations (MNCs), we discuss the need for and creation of social capital in foreign subunits of MNCs. We argue that the required levels and forms of social capital are determined by the nature of interdependence between headquarters and subunits, and thus vary by different models of MNCs. We then develop a micro-macro model of social capital formation, explaining how boundary spanners form their private social capital and how...

摘要:We develop a contingency view of process management's influence on both technological innovation and organizational adaptation. We argue that while process management activities are beneficial for organizations in stable contexts, they are fundamentally inconsistent with all but incremental innovation and change. But dynamic capabilities are rooted in both exploitative and exploratory activities. We argue that process management activities must be buffered from exploratory activities and that ...

摘要:In this paper I use the psychological literature on grief to explore the emotion of business failure, suggesting that the loss of a business from failure can cause the self-employed to feel grief-a negative emotional response interfering with the ability to learn from the events surrounding that loss. I discuss how a dual process of grief recovery maximizes the learning from business failure.

摘要:Using social movement and social identity theories, we construct a model of stakeholder group action that challenges the current notion that interests drive stakeholder group action. We argue that interests do not easily translate into action, mobilization can be motivated by a desire to express an identity as well as protect interests, and overlapping (similar) memberships across multiple stakeholder groups affect stakeholder group action. As a result, we develop several propositions based on...
