摘要:The ineffectiveness of several privatized firms within emerging economies underscores the importance of agency theory issues and their impact on the privatization performance relationship. We argue that weak governance and limited protection of minority shareholders intensify traditional principal-agent problems (perquisite consumption and entrenchment) and create unique agency problems (expropriation). We suggest that postprivatization performance earn be enhanced by using appropriate ownersh...

摘要:We focus on everyday role transitions involving home, wort and other placer. Transitions are boundary-crossing activities, where one exits and enters roles by surmounting role boundaries. Roles can be arrayed on a continuum spanning high segmentation to high integration. Segmentation decreases role blurring but increases the magnitude of change, rendering boundary crossing more difficult: crossing often is facilitated by rites of passage. Integration decreases the magnitude of change but incre...

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: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:privatization has become a popular strategy to promote economic development in emerging, developing, and developed economies. Despite its popularity, little attention has been devoted to examination of the organizational and managerial implications of privatization or to the effect of privatization on companies' ability to innovate and engage in entrepreneurial activities. In this article we discuss privatization's increasing importance and present ct model that links privatization to or firm'...

摘要:With ongoing privatization efforts in emerging economies, governments have supported developmental financial institutions (DFIs) to spur entrepreneurial activity. We use stakeholder theory to suggest that postprivatization stakeholders differ in their preference to seek DFI support. We then posit that national developmental priorities influence the DFI's willingness to be involved in the governance of the privatized firm and we discuss implications of DFI involvement for value creation and ent...

摘要:Firm-level responses to privatization have not been widely studied. Drawing from Industrial organization economics, the resource-based view, and interorganizational cooperative strategy, I develop an integrated theory to show how privatization encourages early entry: how delayed market liberalization reinforces first mover benefits: and how firms with specialized resources, an entrepreneurial orientation, and local partner collaborations gain postprivatization competitive advantage. I construc...

摘要:Conceptualizing privatization era the shift from one institutional template to another, we draw on the related literature of institutional theory and script development to explore the interactive effects of actors' behavioral scripts and institutional templates. In so doing, we address microlevel aspects of the macroinstitutional change of privatization and advance our understanding of the role of public sector managers in the privatization process.
