  摘要：We examine how experiential learning affects organizational change and its consequences on firm mortality. We develop hypotheses about the interactions of experiences with a specific type of organizational change on the one hand, and environmental stability, organizational size, and organizational niche width on the other hand. Our findings draw from analysis of the U.S. automobile industry between 1885 and 1981 and support the general prediction that process effects of change in the organizat...
• Tacitness, learning, and international expansion: A study of foreign direct investment in a knowledge-intensive industry AI翻译

  摘要：This paper examines the impact of knowledge tacitness on a firm's propensity to establish plants in foreign rather than domestic locations. Our predictions build on knowledge-based, internalization, and evolutionary theories of foreign direct investment. We argue that the tacitness of technology has an inverted-U effect on the propensity to undertake foreign investment. We also expect that as a firm learns about a technology, it will become more likely to make foreign investments. We examine t...
• Sharing meaning across occupational communities: The transformation of understanding on a production floor AI翻译
  作者：Bechky, BA

  摘要：This paper suggests that knowledge is shared in organizations through the transformation of occupational communities' situated understandings of their work. In this paper, I link the misunderstandings between engineers, technicians, and assemblers on a production floor to their work contexts, and demonstrate how members of these communities overcome such problems by cocreating common ground that transforms their understanding of the product and the production process. In particular, I find tha...
• Re-embedding situatedness: The importance of power relations in learning theory AI翻译
  作者：Contu, A; Willmott, H

  摘要：This paper critically addresses the coherence, reception, and dissemination of situated learning theory (Lave and Wenger 1991). Situated learning theory commends a conceptualization of the process of learning that, in offering an alternative to cognitive theories, departs radically from the received body of knowledge on learning in organizations. The paper shows how elements of situated learning theory have been selectively adopted to fertilize or extend the established terrain of organization...
• Vicarious learning, undersampling of failure, and the myths of management AI翻译
  作者：Denrell, J
  作者单位：Stockholm School of Economics
  摘要：Organizations learn from other organizations. However, the observations available to them are typically a biased sample. The organizations that can be observed at any point in time are the survivors of a selective process that has eliminated a large fraction of the underlying population. In addition, there is a strong tendency to focus on successful organizations in books and the business press. As a result, the available sample of organizations usually undersamples failure. This paper shows t...
• Selective intervention and internal hybrids: Interpreting and learning from the rise and decline of the Oticon spaghetti organization AI翻译
  作者：Foss, NJ
  作者单位：Copenhagen Business School
  摘要：Infusing hierarchies with elements of market control has become a much-used way of simultaneously increasing entrepreneurialism and motivation in firms. However, this paper argues that such internal hybrids, particularly in their radical forms, are inherently hard to successfully design and implement because of a fundamental incentive problem of establishing credible managerial commitments to not intervene in delegated decision making. This theme is developed and illustrated, using the case of...
• Getting off to a good start: The effects of upper echelon affiliations on underwriter prestige AI翻译
  作者：Higgins, MC; Gulati, R
  作者单位：Harvard University; Northwestern University
  摘要：The initial public offering (IPO) is one of the most critical events in the lifetime of a young firm. Prior research has shown that firms tend to have successful IPOs if they go public with the endorsement of a prestigious lead underwriter. This paper examines the antecedents to receiving endorsement by a prestigious underwriter and links this to the experience base of a firm's upper echelon. We theorize that the amount and type of upper echelon experience serve as important symbols of a young...
