摘要：Building on prior work on levels of analysis, we present an approach for understanding changes in multiple levels of analysis or entities over time. The conceptual framework describes how entities may remain stable over time, shift toward independence at a lower level of analysis, or change to homogeneous or heterogeneous interdependence at ct higher level of analysis. We discuss examples and implications of the approach for theory building.

摘要：Technology implementation is complex and often unpredictable. Although previous research describes mechanisms related to the social construction of technology and technology use in organizations, researchers have focused little on the inputs to these models. In this article I attempt to fill this void by examining triggers for initial user sensemaking. The prediction of sensemaking should enhance the application of theories, such as adaptive structuration and inform the management of technolog...

摘要：In this article we first reflect on the significant and positive impact of postmodernism for organizational theorizing during the past decade. Through several examples we point to contributions that poststructuralist perspectives have brought to the field. Finally, we consider four contemporary theoretical tendencies-feminist poststructuralist theorizing, postcolonial analyses, actor-network theory, and narrative approaches to knowledge-as heirs (apparent) of the postmodern turn for organizati...

摘要：Although interest in organizational learning has grown dramatically in recent years. a general theory of organizational learning hers remained elusive. We identify renewal of the overall enterprise as the underlying phenomenon of interest and organizational learning as a:principal means to this end. With this perspective we develop a framework for the process of organizational learning, presenting organizational learning as four processes-intuiting, interpreting, integrating, and institutional...

摘要：In this article I address the lack of integration of normative and descriptive approaches to business and society and the problems posed for coherent theory development. I reformulate corporate social performance topics according to a research strategy aimed at moving inquiry beyond problems of integration. I then demonstrate the potential for a: normative-descriptive unification. and follow this with implications for future research.

摘要：We develop a framework to describe value creation as a process comprising resource combinations and exchanges and use the framework to show how organizations in general, and business firms in particular, interact with markets to create economic value for themselves, for their members, and for society. The theory offers an explanation of why neither a market nor a firm, by itself, can achieve adaptive efficiency and why institutional pluralism contributes to the process of economic development.

摘要：In this article we explore assumptions about the levels of analysis embedded in the extant literature on creativity in organizations. Uncovering and then relaxing these assumptions allow us to extend the literature with an alternative but complementary model of how creativity unfolds in complex, large-scale, and long-duration organizational projects. We build on the paradigm of sensemaking and propose a multilevel model of creativity that, as its defining feature, examines how periodic organiz...

摘要：In this article we examine two general approaches to political action (transactional and relational), two levels of participation (individual and collective), and three types of generic political strategies (information, financial incentive, and constituency building), thus presenting ct comprehensive taxonomy of political strategies. In addition, we identify firm and institutional variables that affect the likelihood of making specific decisions within the formulation model. The result is a d...

摘要：We extend transaction cost economics by arguing that prior contractual commitments made by a firm can limit its ability to differentiate or change its governance arrangements in the future-a condition we term governance inseparability. Changes in bargaining power between a firm and its exchange partners also can result in governance inseparability. Consequently, governance choice may be more particularistic than the current version of transaction cost economics allows. We provide several testa...
