摘要：This study shows that the strategies of service firms affect the uncertainty they encounter in their dealings with customers. This strategically induced uncertainty then becomes the mechanism by which service firms organize their production processes. In a study of 234 service firms representing 96 different industries, we found strong support for relationships between these organizations' strategies and the level of complexity in their production processes. In addition, service firms that pos...

摘要：Family-member CEOs of family-controlled firms receive lower total income than outsider CEOs, increasingly so as family ownership concentration increases. At the same time, their pay tends to be more insulated from risk and more sensitive to systematic (less controllable) business risk. The presence of institutional investors and R&D intensity play important moderating roles in these relationships.

摘要：I base an integrated model of innovation development and launch on the behavioral theory of the firm. This model specifies that research and development expenses are increased when low performance causes problemistic search and when excess resources cause slack search. Innovations generated by search are launched if low performance gives managers high risk tolerance. Using data from shipbuilding firms, I show that high performance reduces R&D intensity and innovation launches, and high slack i...

摘要：A qualitative study of three network marketing organizations that sell products and services using distributed workforces suggests how these organizations harvest members' work-family conflict and transform work-related ambivalence into commitment. We offer a model depicting how specific organizational practices, which we label making workers into family and bringing family into work practices lead to and maintain two types of relationship-based commitments: those based on relationships with m...

摘要：Data from high-technology firms in Hong Kong were used to investigate whether the outcomes of problem-solving processes (solutions found, problem-solving speed, and solution quality) mediated the effects of centrifugal forces (decentralization, free flow of information, and reach) and centripetal forces (connectedness, temporal pacing, project leader expertise, and superordinate goal) on product development performance (development speed and product quality). Centrifugal and centripetal forces...

摘要：This study reexamines the relationships between corporate diversification strategies and firm performance and suggests that these relationships are related to home country environments. We examined two environmental aspects: factors that facilitate transformational activities and institutions that foster transactional activities. Using a sample of firms from six Western European countries, we found support for the study's central proposition, that home country environment is an important compo...

摘要：This article examines the relationship between a team member's functional background and two forms of intrateam involvement: centrality in a team's workflow and involvement in team decision making. It is argued that a functional background that provides valued expertise and one that is similar to the functional backgrounds of other team members will be associated with both forms of involvement; however, power centralization in a team will be a critical moderator of the decision involvement rel...

摘要：We examined how a blended workforce (one with standard and nonstandard workers in the same jobs) affected exit, voice, and loyalty among standard employees. We found that workforce blending worsened relations between managers and employees, decreased standard employees' loyalty, and increased their interest both in leaving their organizations and in exercising voice through unionization. However, these effects were contingent on whether the nonstandard workers were temporary or contract and on...

摘要：Termination of new product development projects was examined as an advocacy process influenced by performance judgments and unobserved performance thresholds, and contextual factors related to the radicalness of such projects were studied as influences on those judgments. We applied survival analysis to four panels of data on 80 newly initiated new product development projects. Advocacy, performance judgments, and threshold effects were related to termination decisions. Contextual factors were...

摘要：This study examines the ownership and performance implications of the exercise of CEO stock options. We find that the exercise of stock options has no impact on the levels of CEO equity and no relationship with subsequent firm performance. The decision to exercise stock options appears to reflect risk-balancing concerns rather than expectations for future performance.
