摘要:We propose a taxonomy of multidimensional constructs based on the relations between the construct and its dimensions. Multidimensional constructs that exist at deeper levels than their dimensions we term latent model. We call constructs formed as algebraic functions of their dimensions aggregate model, whereas constructs formed as different profiles of dimensional characteristics we term profile model. We discuss the nature of multidimensional constructs defined under these models and their op...

摘要:We define organizational improvisation as the degree to which the composition and execution of an action converge in time, and we examine the theoretical potential of this definition. We then propose that both organizational procedural memory (skill knowledge) and declarative memory (fact knowledge) moderate improvisation's impact on organizational outcomes in distinct ways. We also suggest that improvisation influences organizational memory by (1) generating experiments and (2) permitting the...

摘要:In this article we offer a view that suggests that cc firm's critical resources may span firm boundaries and may be embedded in inferfirm resources and routines. We argue that an increasingly important unit of analysis for understanding competitive advantage is the relationship between firms and identify four potential sources of interorganizational competitive advantage: (1) relation-specific assets, (2) knowledge-sharing routines, (5) complementary resources/capabilities. and (4) effective g...

摘要:In this article we develop a model of subsidiary evolution to shed light on the processes that drive changes in a subsidiary's activities and its underlying capabilities. We see subsidiary evolution as (1) the enhancement/depletion of capabilities in the subsidiary. coupled with (2) an explicit change in the subsidiary's charter. Building on, this definition, we analyze the interaction between capability and charter change and identify five generic subsidiary evolution processes, developing pr...
