摘要：Unstable market conditions caused by innovation and increasing intensity and diversity of competition have resulted in organizational capabilities rather than served markets becoming the primary basis upon which firms establish their long-term strategies. If the strategically most important resource of the firm is knowledge, and if knowledge resides in specialized form among individual organizational members, then the essence of organizational capability is the integration of individuals' spec...

摘要：The authors present a model of the learning process in a regional network organization.

The network, composed of 46 companies located in and around Alesund, Norway, has been an effective mechanism for helping many of the region's firms respond t...

I argue that Kogut and Zander (1996) attempt to explain firm organization in terms of a preference for such organization--a distinctly non-economic mode of explanation--and that Conner and Prahalad fail to sufficiently characterize the nature of the firm, because they identify firm organi...

The authors study two critical dimensions of intra-industry heterogeneity: strategic similarity, which captures similarity in competitive orientation, and multimaraket contact, which captures the degree of overlap between rivals in the multiple markets of the industry. Theory predicts that both variables influence the intensity of rivalry and competitive disrupt...

摘要：Organizational literature has long presumed that power is communicated and enacted through behaviors exchanged at the level of face-to-face interaction. Little research, however, has investigated this aspect of power. The author explores how power is embedded in manners of speech exchanged in everyday interaction among superiors and subordinates. He draws upon the sociolinguistic theory of ''politeness''. Politeness, linguistic behaviors used to demonstrate regard and consideration for others,...

摘要：A study of inputs (students and new faculty) and outputs (MBA and Ph.D. graduates) of 20 business schools found that status perceived by certain stakeholder groups (constituencies) affects the mobility of individuals between schools and limits the competition among schools for student inputs and for output placement. The study examined schools that differed in status perceived by three constituencies: the national business community, the academic community, and MBA students. The results indica...

Empirical results are partially consistent with transactions cost theory, but may also require a rethinking of transactions cost logic under conditions of high uncertainty.
