摘要：The relationship between management control systems (MCS) and the strategy process is a largely unexplored area of strategic management. This paper reports the findings of an in-depth, longitudinal case study of a major British-based organization operating within the increasingly globalized telecommunications industry. Informed by Simons' (1991, 1994, 1995) theoretical model of the strategy process-MCS relationship, the study examines the nature and extent of this relationship at middle- and l...

摘要：This paper seeks to understand the conditions under which 'centers of excellence' emerge in foreign subsidiaries of multinational firms. We define a center of excellence as an organizational unit that embodies a set of capabilities that has been explicitly recognized by the firm as an important source of value creation, with the intention that these capabilities be leveraged by and/or disseminated to other parts of the firm. Drawing on overlapping research in international business and strateg...

摘要：This paper shows that, in terms of experimental design and ecological validity, the recent study by Hodgkinson et al. (1999) does not 'indicate that the framing bias is likely to be an important factor in strategic decision making.' Nor does it suggest that 'cognitive mapping provides an effective means of limiting the damage accruing from this bias.' We show that the framing bias demonstrated by Hodgkinson et al. can be removed by a simpler 'think-harder' manipulation with undergraduate respo...

摘要：This study investigates economic and strategic inducements of R&D cooperation. We focus on industry and company factors that affect a firm's rate of participation in R&D consortia. These factors are analyzed in a dynamic context using a sample of 312 Japanese firms in 74 industries between 1969 and 1992. We find a firm in an industry with weak competition and appropriability conditions has a higher rate of consortia participation. A firm's R&D capabilities, network formation through past conso...

摘要：Wright and Goodwin (2002) maintain that, in terms of experimental design and ecological validity, Hodgkinson et al. (1999)failed to demonstrate either that the framing bias is likely to be of salience in strategic decision making, or that causal cognitive mapping provides an effective means of limiting the damage accruing from this bias. In reply, we show that there is ample evidence to support both of our original claims. Moreover, using Wright and Goodwin's own data set, we demonstrate that ...
