摘要：In this paper we outline a key mechanism through which organizational fields are constituted. We suggest that in competitive fields, the market serves as a magnet around which groups of actors consolidate, and that cognition of markets occurs through the creation, distribution, and interpretation of a web of information about the market. To illustrate our theory, we present a case study of the Billboard music chart from the commercial music industry to show that changes in either scope, method...

摘要：This is a response to the special issue of Organization Science on Jazz Improvisation and Organizing (Vol. 9, No. 5, 1998). It is a call to unpack the jazz metaphor by extending the notion of jazz, and thereby the value of the metaphor, beyond the limited definition described in the issue. In that issue, jazz was described as a process of improvising within a highly constrained structure and set of rules. Other genres of jazz, however, have gone beyond those constraints. Jazz improvisation has...

摘要：In this qualitative field study, I explore how the construction of a cultural institution's identity is related to the construction of strategic capabilities and resources. I investigated the 1996 musicians' strike at the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO), which revealed embedded and latent identity conflicts. The multifaceted and specialized identity of the ASO was reinforced by different professional groups in the organization: the ideologies of musicians and administrators emphasized institu...

摘要：Managerial control and employee resistance are core processes in work organizations, but their operation is often hidden and difficult to observe. The implementation of a new computer system in a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) provides an occasion to gain insight into some unexpected ways that resistance can be constituted in discourse and interaction.

摘要：Valuation of cultural products tends to be problematic. In this paper, we provide insight into how valuation of cultural products takes place by describing the changing role and significance of different types of selection systems. Three basic types of selection systems are distinguished: market selection, peer selection, and expert selection. We show that the rise of a group of painters known as the Impressionists was facilitated by a change in the selection system of the visual arts industry...

摘要：Technological innovations are usually thought to create business opportunities that are unequivocal and readily apparent to any knowledgeable observer. Drawing on Austrian economics, this article portrays the recognition of such opportunities as distinctive cognitive feats whose accomplishment is conditioned by an entrepreneur's prior experience and education. In-depth case studies demonstrate the multiple opportunities that can arise from a single innovation.

摘要：Research in organizational communication has examined the structure and content of interaction, but has paid little attention to research traditions outside the organizational sciences that explore the social-psychological interconnections between relationship development and interaction. In this paper we draw upon and extend those traditions to develop a model of how communication relationships develop within organizational dyads. The proposed model examines organization-based communication r...

摘要：Violence in the workplace, both physical and emotional, has become an increasingly serious component of organizational life. Most research on this subject examines the perpetrators of violence. In contrast, this study focuses on the victims' experiences, considering the question: Are there situational or dispositional characteristics that are likely to produce self-perceptions of victimization? Although this question raises the spector of blaming the victim, its answer is critical to developin...

摘要：Demography research rarely examines the black box within which the cognitive diversity of the top management team is assumed to affect firm performance. Using data from 35 simulated firms run by a total of 159 managers attending executive education programs, the current research tested several hypotheses concerned with (a) the relationship between demographic and cognitive team diversity and (b) the reciprocal effects of diversity and firm performance. Results showed that members of high-perfo...
