摘要：In industries characterized by network externalities, a single technology standard often rises to dominance, locking out competing technologies. This research demonstrates that despite path dependency, it is possible to model the technology selection process and predict likely outcomes. This work extends previous work in network externalities by demonstrating that in addition to its installed base and the availability of complementary goods, a firm's learning orientation and timing of entry al...

摘要：A sample of 154 new auditors was surveyed to investigate how patterns of social relationships affected socialization. Characteristics of the newcomers' informational networks (size, density, strength, range, and status) related to three different indicators of learning: organizational knowledge, task mastery, and role clarity. Also, the structure of the newcomers' friendship networks related to their social integration and organizational commitment. By linking socialization outcomes to social ...

摘要：We examined the relationship between the ownership structure and financial performance of 334 Japanese corporations for the 1986-91 period. The positive relationship we found between ownership concentration and financial performance is consistent with agency theory predictions. In addition, we observed a more pronounced profit redistribution effect characterized by the transferring of financial resources from more to less profitable firms. These findings indicate the need to account for both e...

摘要：We develop a theory wherein the pay of non-CEO executives can be explained by micro-level opportunity structures-the intersection of functional position, CEO background, human capital, and firm strategic resource allocation decisions. Our theory suggests a positive association between pay and a position made visible by resource allocation decisions, a functional background similar to that of the CEO, and a position that helps the firm manage strategic resource allocations. A unique longitudina...

摘要：In a longitudinal, randomized field experiment, we tested the impact of transformational leadership, enhanced by training, on follower development and performance. Experimental group leaders received transformational leadership training, and control group leaders, eclectic leadership training. The sample included 54 military leaders, their 90 direct followers, and 724 indirect followers. Results indicated the leaders in the experimental group had a more positive impact on direct followers' dev...

摘要：This study tested hypotheses concerning how similarity of personality traits between promotion candidates and their peers and supervisors influences promotion decisions in different work unit cultures. Personality similarity to peers was positively associated with promotion in units with high individualism. In units with high collectivism, supervisor-subordinate personality similarity was instead a significant predictor of advancement. Behavioral integration between candidates and their peers ...

摘要：Research in entrepreneurship and life cycle theories of the firm have both suggested that new ventures may outgrow the managerial capabilities of their founding teams, at which point the founders may be replaced by professional managers. This study explored factors affecting founder departure. Results indicate that founder departure increases with firm size, decreases with founder ownership and board membership, and has a U-shaped relationship with firm growth. Founders who work in research an...

摘要：Despite a growing sense that speed is critical to organizational success, how an emphasis on speed affects organizational processes remains unclear. We explored the connection between speed and decision making in a 19-month ethnographic study of an Internet start-up. Distilling our data using causal loop diagrams, we identified a potential pathology for organizations attempting to make fast decisions the speed, trap. A need for fast action, traditionally conceptualized, as an exogenous feature...

摘要：We examine the adoption of an organizational practice by subsidiaries of a multinational corporation (MNC) under conditions of institutional duality. Drawing on institutional theory, we identify two factors influencing the adoption of a practice: the institutional profile of the host country and the relational context within the MNC. We also specify conditions leading to ceremonial adoption. General support is found for the model based on data from 534 managers and 3,238 nonmanagerial employee...
