摘要：From an organizational perspective, there are many decisions that are not strictly individual. A decision-making process may need to be distributed across multiple participants, each of whom contributes to the final decision by performing one or more tasks. A participant may be a person, a group, a team, or an artifact such as a computerized decision-support system. Computers are routinely used to support individual decision making. However, their potential for supporting distributed decision ...

摘要：The development of commercially viable new products requires that technological and market possibilities are linked effectively in the product's design. Innovators in large firms have persistent problems with such linking, however. This research examines these problems by focusing on the shared interpretive schemes people use to make sense of product innovation. Two interpretive schemes are found to inhibit development of technology-market knowledge: departmental thought worlds and organizatio...

摘要：This paper reports on research designed to test a dynamic model of the causes of organizational innovation. Two communication variables (level of information and group communication) and three motivational variables (perceptions of equity, expectations of benefits, and perceived social pressure) were derived from equity theory, expectancy theory and the theory of reasoned action. These variables were used to predict the number of innovative ideas contributed by members of the organizations. We...

摘要：Many contingency researchers have argued that organizations must tailor their structures and decision making processes to fit the demands of their external environments-the exigencies of their markets. They claim, for example, that uncertain environments-those with high degrees of change and unpredictability in technology and in customer and competitor behavior-require more delegation of authority to highly trained specialists and quicker, more responsive decision making. However, such experts...

摘要：Advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) includes such technologies as computer-aided design (CAD) and manufacturing (CAM), as well as computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM). Numerous case studies have found that organization structure (e.g., centralization of decision making) changes when firms introduce AMT, but the findings from such studies have been inconsistent. This paper reports the findings of a large-sample study of the relationship between AMT and organization structure. Two alterna...

摘要：This paper presents a perspective on organizational theory called 'autogenesis'. This perspective has a long history in both the natural and social sciences, but is suggested particularly by recent developments in the field of self-organizing systems. According to this perspective, complex social organization can be explained in terms of the interplay of three distinct types of structure: (1) deep structure, which consists of a generative grammar (rules) for organizing; (2) elemental structure...
