摘要:Organizational transformation in the transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe is qualitatively different from that observed in the West because of concomitant upheaval in the institutional context. Drawing on organizational change theory, organizational learning theory, and institutional theory, I suggest an inverted U-shaped relationship between institution-level change and transformative organizational change. By integrating three theoretical perspectives in the conceptual framewor...

摘要:Our present understanding of identification processes poses ct serious limitation to diversity research. In this article I present a preliminary model explicating how organizational, task, and reward structures affect the activation of members' personal, relational, and collective identity orientations. I further outline the manner in which the identity orientations of majority and minority individuals link to cognition, affect, and behavior of members of each group, as well as to diversity-re...

摘要:Strategic renewal consists of three subprocesses (competence definition deployment, and modification). Within each subprocess. the roles of top-, middle- and operating-level managers differ in their time horizon, information requirements, and core values. Dissensus in managers' perceptions about the need for change creates strategic role conflicts within individual managers and between managerial roles. In this article we explain when and where strategic role conflict occurs and how organizati...

摘要:The explosion of knowledge production within business and other organizations poses a critical challenge to current modes of teaching and research within our business schools. We need to consider new strategic positions closer to the knowledge production being carried on within the organizations we study, without assuming that immediate relevance is our primary objective. The academic advantage, in my opinion, still lies in generalization and abstraction.

摘要:Organizational theorists tend to homogenize what is, in reality, ct pluralistic world, emphasizing the discovery of unifying principles that lend organizational focus, legitimacy, and identity while downplaying some of the complexity that pluralism often entails. In their original formulation, most organizational theories have richness and depth in modeling pluralistic variety: over time, however, theorizing seems to have purchased parsimony and generality at the cost of accuracy or realism. W...

摘要:Although aspects of social identity theory are familiar to organizational psychologists, its elaboration, through self-categorization theory, of how social categorization and prototype-based depersonalization actually produce social identity effects is less well known. We describe these processes, relate self-categorization theory to social identity theory, describe new theoretical developments in detail, and show how these developments can address a: range of organizational phenomena. We disc...

摘要:Many systems migrate toward increasing or decreasing modularity, yet no explicit causal models exist to explain this process. In this article I build a general theory of modular systems, drawing on systems research from many disciplines, and then use this general theory to derive a model of interfirm product modularity, Including testable research propositions. The product model provides a valuable tool for predicting technological trajectories, and it demonstrates how the general theory can b...

摘要:In recent research scholars have addressed the issue of an individual's behavior in feedback-seeking activity and. except in scant studies, have virtually ignored the role of culture in this area. In this article we explore four cultural syndromes, based on past research to form a cross-cultural model of feedback-seeking behavior. We advance propositions for the study of culture as ct moderator to feedback-seeking behavior.

摘要:Why are so many emerging economies privatizing state-owned enterprises, and how does that affect their performance? I propose a dynamic multilevel model to answer these questions. Firm-level arguments need to be complemented by industry- and country-level arguments to explain why some enterprises are privatized but not others. Similarly, changes in firm governance resulting from privatization are only one determinant of postprivatization performance: changes in industry structure, regulation a...

摘要:Management journals often contain heated discussions about disciplinary approaches, or how and whether to legitimate different kinds of research. I classify nine such approaches in a typology. These varied approaches arise because none can fully accommodate the conflicting scientific and pragmatic pressures placed on academic research. The airing of these views, however, helps members of the discipline meet their responsibility to re-evaluate the value of existing research and new currents in ...
