摘要：The literature investigating the degree to which firm performance is associated with industry, or corporate factors has recently been subject to criticism on the grounds of both methodological shortcomings and incomplete interpretation of results. Our research goes beyond these critiques to raise more basic issues concerning the assumptions underlying variance decomposition, the methodology dominating the antecedent literature. Performance data and categorizations from a sample consistent with...

摘要：Research done primarily in the United States has shown that firms in decline enjoy better odds of returning to health when strong measures are taken. The culture of the Overseas Chinese of East Asia has helped to shape the region's prior commercial success but it also impacts responses to firm decline and turnaround. This research provides the first empirical investigation of the turnaround strategies of Overseas Chinese firms in East Asia. The evidence gathered shows that the utility of the p...

摘要：The long-running debate between the 'rational design' and 'emergent process' schools of strategy formation has involved caricatures of firms' strategic planning processes, but little empirical evidence of whether and how companies plan. Despite the presumption that environmental turbulence renders conventional strategic planning all but impossible, the evidence from the corporate sector suggests that reports of the demise of strategic planning are greatly exaggerated. The goal of this paper is...

摘要：While theory suggests that management has discretion in manipulating resources in order to build competitive advantage, resource-based research has focused on the characteristics of resources, paying less attention to the relationship between those resources and the way firms are organized. In explaining performance, entrepreneurship scholars have focused on a firm's entrepreneurial strategic orientation (EO), leaving its interrelationship with internal characteristics aside. We argue that EO ...

摘要：According to transaction cost theory, firms select the international mode of entry that provides the most efficient form of governance. However, previous scholarship largely neglects the impact of transaction cost variables on entry mode choice and firm performance. In this study, we add transaction cost variables to a set of variables previously used to predict firm mode choice and performance. We theorize and find that firms selecting these 'transaction cost-enhanced international entry mode...

摘要：This paper attempts to fill an important gap in the integration of strategy and organizational learning,g through empirical research that examines the process of strategic renewal using a comprehensive,famework of organizational learning. The 4I famework of organizational learning is used to examine the phenomenon of strategic renewal at Canada Post Corporation (CPC). The study illustrates the underlying processes that form the tension between exploration and exploitation, demonstrating why st...

摘要：This paper develops hypotheses concerning the role of entry mode and experience-based organizational learning as determinants of the R&D intensity of foreign affiliates and tests these hypotheses on a sample of 420 Japanese manufacturing affiliates abroad. Entry mode has a major impact on R&D activities: the R&D intensities of acquired affiliates substantially exceed those in wholly owned greenfield affiliates, while the R&D intensities of minority owned ventures are higher if Japanese parent ...

摘要：This paper explores how the dynamic capabilities of firms may be linked to differential firm performance within an industry. A formal model is presented in which dynamic capabilities are treated as a set of routines guiding the evolution of a firm's resource configuration. The model centers on the endogenous choice firms make between resource deployment through imitation and experimentation in order to generate alternative resource configurations. Three performance-relevant attributes of dynam...

摘要：How does organizational slack affect firm performance? Organization theory posits that slack, despite its costs, has a positive impact on firm performance. In contrast, agency theory suggests that slack breeds inefficiency and inhibits performance. The empirical evidence, largely from developed economies, has been inconclusive. Moreover, little effort has been made to empirically test whether such an impact (positive or negative) is linear or curvilinear. This article joins the debate by exten...

摘要：The resource-based view of the firm postulates that sustainable abnormal rents call accrue to firms having valuable, rare, inimitable, non-substitutable resources and capabilities. Given these criteria, sustainable resources are hard to attain. Our study of some two dozen firms shows how some of them were able to overcome this dilemma by building not so much oil resources and capabilities as on asymmetries. Asymmetries are typically, skills, processes, or 'assets' a firm's competitors do not a...
