• Spontaneous organizational reconfiguration: A historical example based on Xenophon's Anabasis AI翻译
  作者：Aupperle, KE
  摘要：This paper examines an ancient historical event that has profound implications regarding the role of organizational culture in facilitating spontaneous organizational reconfiguration. Xenophon's Anabasis documents the successful retreat of a Greek army trapped in Persia in a setting that is comparable to the hypercompetition of today. Spontaneous reconfiguration is seen here to be a vital survival element in hypercompetitive environments, past and present. As a result, a historical case is use...
• Vertical integration and rapid response in fashion apparel AI翻译
  作者：Richardson, J
  摘要：Fashion apparel is a highly competitive business where product life is short and differentiation advantages are built on brand image and product styling that can be quickly imitated. Over the past two decades, competition on price and quality has intensified as low cost global manufacturing became available to even small competitors. Recently, competition has shifted to the arena of timing and know-how where vertically integrated firms gained the lead in implementing a set of process innovatio...

  摘要：We examine how two highly successful new biotechnology firms (NBFs) source their most critical input-scientific knowledge. We find that scientists at the two NBFs enter into large numbers of collaborative research efforts with scientists at other organizations, especially universities. Formal market contracts are rarely used to govern these exchanges of scientific knowledge. bur findings suggest that the use of boundary-spanning social networks by the two NBFs increases both their learning and...
• Garbage cans and advancing hypercompetition: The creation and exploitation of new capabilities and strategic flexibility in two regional bell operating companies AI翻译

  摘要：How does an organization functioning in a regulated, monopoly environment transform itself to prepare for hypercompetitive conditions? Two of the regional Bell operating companies (RBOCs) found one answer to that question: create self-contained areas of chaotic activities with the potential to spawn new managerial capabilities and flexibility. After divestiture from AT & T, the RBOCs maintained their local telephone service monopolies, but they all became involved in numerous unregulated activ...

• Toward the flexible form: How to remain vital in hypercompetitive environments AI翻译
  作者：Volberda, HW
  摘要：Hypercompetition has received much attention, but an important question has not been answered: What organizational forms lead to success in hypercompetitive environments? Hypercompetition forces firms to move more quickly and boldly and to experiment in ways that do not conform to traditional administrative theory. Bureaucratic vertical forms severely hamper the ability to respond to accelerating competition. Flexible forms, in contrast, can respond to a wide variety of changes in the competit...

• Prospering in dynamically-competitive environments: Organizational capability as knowledge integration AI翻译
  作者：Grant, RM
  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 model is based on a six-year study of Nordvest Forum, perhaps the only multifirm network in the world to have been purposefully formed to help its member companies learn how to develop and apply knowledge about management and organizational change. 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...
