• Clearing a path through the management fashion jungle: Some preliminary trailblazing AI翻译

  摘要：Sixteen management fashions that emerged over the past five decades were identified and evaluated on eight criteria, including radicalness, broadness, and fear induction. We examined relationships among these criteria, fashions' life cycles, and economic and penetration variables to enhance understanding of fashions' emergence, diffusion, and decline. Results suggest that recent fashions were broader-based but shorter-lived and more difficult for upper management to implement. Hypotheses relat...
• Competition, capabilities, and the make, buy, or ally decisions of Chinese state-owned firms AI翻译

  摘要：What factors influence a Chinese state-owned enterprise's choice among alternative strategies for acquiring complementary assets? In this study, I propose that the decision to make, buy, or ally to acquire new product technology is an outcome of a firm's simultaneous consideration of external competitive and internal capabilities-related factors. Hypotheses derived from transaction cost, resource dependency, and organizational capabilities perspectives were tested in a sample of Chinese state-...

  摘要：This study examines the outcomes of technology-sourcing partnerships from the sourcing firms' point of view. Using a knowledge-based perspective, we develop a contingency model suggesting how the imitability, uniqueness, and uncertainty associated with a technology interact with partner interdependence to influence sourcing outcomes. Ninety-five sourcing arrangements spanning licensing, joint development, and acquisitions were examined close to the time of conception and three to four years af...
• Managerial ties and firm performance in a transition economy: The nature of a micro-macro link AI翻译
  作者：Peng, MW; Luo, YD
  作者单位：University System of Ohio; Ohio State University; University of Miami
  摘要：Using survey data from China, we demonstrate that managers' micro interpersonal ties with top executives at other firms and with government officials help improve macro organizational performance. This micro-macro link differs among firms with different (1) ownership types, (2) business sectors, (3) sizes, and (4) industry growth rates. In addition, managerial ties were found to be necessary but insufficient for good performance; a number of traditional strategy variables also drive performanc...
• The influence of national culture on the formation of technology alliances by entrepreneurial firms AI翻译
  作者：Steensma, HK; Marino, L; Weaver, KM

  摘要：We consider the effect that national culture has on the propensity for small, independent manufacturing enterprises to (1) cooperate with other firms for technological innovation and (2) use equity ties in the formation of these alliances. Results from a five-country study indicate that national culture traits directly influence technology alliance formation and moderate the relationship between perceived technological uncertainty and alliance formation. Specifically, our results suggest that ...
• Human resource strategy and career mobility in professional service firms: A test of an options-based model AI翻译

  摘要：This study provides a partial test of our options-based model of career mobility in professional service firms (Malos & Campion, 1995). After clustering a sample of 117 high-grossing U.S. law firms into two configurations suggested by strategic options analysis, we found internally consistent relationships among career mobility practices and career-related outcomes.
• The sources and accuracy of job applicants' beliefs about organizational culture AI翻译
  作者：Cable, DM; Aiman-Smith, L; Mulvey, PW; Edwards, JR
  作者单位：University of North Carolina; University of North Carolina Chapel Hill; North Carolina State University
  摘要：We focus on the beliefs that applicants develop about organizational culture during the anticipatory stage of socialization. Data from 240 job applicants suggested that an organization used product and company information to encourage applicants to hold favorable, rather than accurate, culture beliefs. For example, the organization appeared to overstate the degree to which its culture was risk-oriented. Information that is less susceptible to image management attempts (for instance, word of mo...
• Serving multiple constituencies in business schools: MBA program versus research performance AI翻译
  作者：Trieschmann, JS; Dennis, AR; Northcraft, GB; Niemi, AW Jr
  作者单位：University System of Georgia; University of Georgia; Indiana University System; Indiana University Bloomington; University of Illinois System; University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign; Southern Methodist University
  摘要：Business schools strive to meet two goals: knowledge exploration through research and knowledge exploitation through instruction. Our results indicate that research performance (pages published in leading journals) and M.B.A. (master of business administration) program performance (popular business press rankings) are different. Research performance was improved by the number of faculty, the proportion of full professors, the proportion of assistant professors, and editorships. M.B.A, program ...
• Understanding human competence at work: An interpretative approach AI翻译
  作者：Sandberg, J
  作者单位：Stockholm School of Economics
  摘要：In the prevalent rationalistic approaches, human competence at work is seen as constituted by a specific set of attributes, such as the knowledge and skills used in performing particular work. As an alternative to the rationalistic approaches, an interpretative approach, phenomenography, is proposed and explored here. Findings suggest that the meaning work takes on for workers in their experience of it, rather than a specific set of attributes, constitutes competence. More specifically, the re...
• Individual environmental initiative: Championing natural environmental issues in US business organizations AI翻译
  作者：Andersson, LM; Bateman, TS
  作者单位：Pennsylvania Commonwealth System of Higher Education (PCSHE); Temple University; University of Virginia
  摘要：Several bodies of literature contributed to a framework describing how three activities-identifying, packaging, and selling-can lead to successful environmental championing. The results of a field study comparing successful and unsuccessful championing episodes in U.S. business organizations supported the framework. Specifically, individuals who successfully championed environmental issues engaged in more environmental scanning, employed particular framing dimensions and presentation styles, a...
