摘要：Critics have argued that organization theories which work are obvious to practitioners; that is, the theories simply confirm relationships that are already well understood by experienced managers. In our study, four types of respondents-Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) with business school education, CEOs without such education, graduating MBA students, and liberal arts graduate students-were presented with theory-based performance-rating tasks. These tasks identified respondents' beliefs regar...

摘要：Cyert and March's A Behavioral Theory of the Firm is a fundamental and classic book; it was an early integration of organization theory and economics of duopoly.

摘要：The importance of knowledge for gaining competitive advantage is widely accepted. The authors I distinguish between explicit and tacit forms of knowledge and argue that different kinds of motivation (extrinsic and intrinsic) are crucial for generating and transferring the two forms of knowledge. They analyze various organizational and motivational devices with respect to their suitability for making use of explicit and tacit knowledge. In so doing they particularly emphasize that some organiza...
