摘要:We provide evidence that cooperation is a cultural category, and that what it means to cooperate is culturally conditioned. We use a cultural consensus model analysis to assess which types of situations people categorize as cooperation and whether these categorizations are consistent within and across China and the United States. The data support revisiting the role of cognition in mediating cooperative behavior and the means by which culture shapes behavior. The data also support broadening r...

摘要:Research on the effects of social networks on individual status attainment has exploded in recent years, but the results remain equivocal, varying across network structures, types of ties, and outcome variables. The focus in this literature has been on two primary outcomes: performance benefits and rewards (including promotion and compensation). These two types of outcomes have often been conflated, however, despite the fact that high levels of one do not guarantee high levels of the other. We...

摘要:European strategy research is a relatively late entrant into the field of strategic management. This has put the European strategy researchers at a disadvantage vis-a-vis their American counterparts when it comes to competing for scarce publication space in top journals. Many European researchers have responded to the challenge by adopting research paradigms that are dominant in American strategy research, but others argue that Europe should maintain its own distinct research tradition. In thi...

摘要:Null-hypothesis significance tests (NHSTs) have received much criticism, especially during the last two decades. Yet many behavioral and social scientists are unaware that NHSTs have drawn increasing criticism, so this essay summarizes key criticisms. The essay also recommends alternative ways of assessing research findings. Although these recommendations are not complex, they do involve ways of thinking that many behavioral and social scientists find novel. Instead of making NHSTs, researcher...

摘要:Existing research has used real options theory to study corporate venture capital (CVC) investment, yet little work has empirically examined such investment in a comparative setting. In this paper, we begin to address this gap by investigating firms' investment mode choice between CVC and acquisition, which are alternative modes for pursuing external business development and corporate growth. We propose that when exogenous uncertainty elevates the value of real options, firms are more likely t...

摘要:Applying insights from Lefebvre's spatial theory [Lefebvre, H. 1991. The Production of Space. Blackwell, Oxford, UK] to an analysis of Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs-recently relocated to its new award-winning building-the present study seeks to offer a more comprehensive model of the role of organizational aesthetics (OA) in identity regulation and culture jamming. Our contribution is threefold. (1) At the empirical/methodological level, this study attempts to simultaneously analyze the...

摘要:This investigation extends previous research on cross-functional integration. Building on earlier theoretical development, a graduated sequence of modes of integration is tested in relation to interunit task interdependence in a global logistics support organization. This research addresses the question of what effects are associated with perceptual error in the assessment of interunit task interdependence. The results demonstrate that as the deviation between perceived and latent interdepende...

摘要:This paper reviews the scholarly literature on the effects of social hierarchy-differences in power and status among organizational actors-on collective learning in organizations and groups. We begin with the observation that theories of organization and group learning have tended to adopt a rational system model, a model that emphasizes goal-directed and cooperative interactions between and among actors who may differ in knowledge and expertise but are undifferentiated with respect to power a...

摘要:Is the field of management's devotion to theory too much of a good thing? [Hambrick, D. C. 2007. The field of management's devotion to theory: Too much of a good thing? Acad. Management J. 50(6) 1346-1352]. In his paper, Hambrick criticizes the practice employed by many journals in the management field that requires that papers submitted for publication make a strong theoretical contribution. I argue that part of the problem is caused by the misunderstanding and misuse of the term theory. To c...
