摘要：The resource-based view of the firm contributes to the management of product development by highlighting how different functional and integrative capabilities affect process efficiency and product effectiveness. Here, I first review this evidence and then add it to past findings on this topic to form an agent-resource model, which provides a more analytical understanding of product development performance drivers. I also discuss the model in order to direct future research on such relevant iss...

摘要：I critique and extend niche width theory to provide an explanatory framework for the success of multiunit firms in single industries. A greater emphasis on spatial variation in organizational environments allows the fitness strategy of polymorphism to be developed more adequately and multiunit expressions of the specialist and generalist strategies to be added to the theory. I develop a set of testable propositions regarding the specific environmental conditions for the success of each strateg...

摘要：Recognizing, that not all employees possess knowledge and skills that are of equal strategic importance, we draw on the resource-based view of the firm, human capital theory, and transaction cost economics to develop a human resource architecture of four different employment modes: internal development, acquisition, contracting, and alliance. We use this architecture to derive research questions for studying the relationships among employment modes, employment relationships, human resource con...

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...

摘要：We examine organizational legitimacy in the context of the multinational enterprise (MNE). After discussing three types of complexity (of the legitimating environment, the organization, and the process of legitimation) that MNEs typically face, we explore their effects on MNE legitimacy. In particular, we distinguish between the legitimacy of the MNE as a whole and that of its parts, and we develop propositions that include issues of internal versus external legitimacy and positive and negativ...

摘要：In this article we discuss trust in ethics and management as a qualified and conditional good, arguing that researchers should focus on optimal trust-a: mixture of trust and distrust appropriate in most contexts, including business. Trust is an important part of strategic choice, and managers who develop optimal trust in relationships with stakeholders will improve firm performance. We offer a: definition of optimal trust, develop propositions based on the definition, and include indicators ma...
