摘要：While boards of directors are usually recognized as having the potential to affect strategic change in organizations, there is considerable debate as to whether such potential is typically realized.

Specifically, we deve...

摘要：We develop a theory of board-directed strategic change in which directors (1) conceive changes in corporate strategy that reflect the strategies of their own home companies, and (2) select new CEOs who have prior experience with similar strategies to facilitate implementation.

Thus, our results suggest that executive effects on s...

Second, an IJV's learning structures and processes are proposed to influence its ability to assimilate new knowledge fr...

Although their paper provides some insights, their version of constructivism is problematic and their understanding of realism is inaccurate. In this note we clarify some key issues concerning constructivism and realism. Moreover, we argue that Mir and Watson's ins...
