摘要：We offer a rationale for a link between capital scarcity and franchising. Predictions respectively based on agency theory and the capital scarcity hypothesis were tested among 91 restaurant chains. Our specific focus was on whether or not variables based on capital scarcity could explain variance in firms' franchising decisions beyond what was explained by agency variables. The latter were significant predictors of franchising, and the capital scarcity variables explained additional variance, ...

摘要：This study examined the relationships between institutional influences and stakeholder representation on boards of directors. Data from 224 companies over the period 1984-94 were employed. Results indicate that variations in legal environments, industry regulation, and firm size are associated with stakeholder representation on boards but do not influence stakeholder representation on key board committees. Legal environments and firm size are associated with the adoption of stakeholder-oriente...

摘要：Contradictory forces of dissent and consensus building attend the strategic decision process. Taking an information-processing perspective, we argue that two factors that affect perceptions of trustworthiness within strategic decision-making teams-loyalty and competence-play different roles in enabling dissent to enhance decision quality and build decision commitment. Results from a sample of 86 strategic decision-making teams in U.S. hospitals indicate that perceptions of loyalty within teams...

摘要：Wa use the interpersonal dispute resolution literature to develop hypotheses regarding how organizations respond to adjudicated conflicts, Our hypotheses were tested with dal:a from disputes litigated at the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, which hal; been called the chief arbiter of right and wrong in corporate America (New York Times, 1995). Our results underscore the important role that-legal agents play in organization-level dispute resolution. We also highlight the different po...

摘要：In this study, we propose that culture provides scripts. and schemas for negotiation. The implications for negotiation of two cultural values, individualism/collectivism and hierarchy/egalitarianism, are discussed. The primary hypothesis, that joint gains will be lower in intercultural negotiations between U.S. and Japanese negotiators than in intracultural negotiations between either U.S. or Japanese negotiators, was confirmed with data from 30 intercultural, 47 U.S.-U.S. intracultural, and 1...

摘要：In this study, we extended agency-based research by examining the role of risk in the structure of managerial compensation and its relationship to organization performance. Our results suggest that organizations facing higher risk do not place greater emphasis on short-term incentives than other organizations-rather, they place less emphasis on them. Also, higher-risk firms that relied on incentive pay exhibited poorer performance than higher-risk firms that did not emphasize incentive pay.

摘要：We tested several hypotheses derived from an extended version of Shamir, House, and Arthur's (1993) theory of charismatic leadership. We used three different samples of subordinates to assess leader behavior, individual-level correlates, and unit-level correlates, respectively. We also examined the effects of charismatic behaviors and unit-level correlates on superiors' assessments of leaders' performance. The findings provide only Very partial support for the theory and indicate a need for gr...

摘要：A tremendous amount of research has explored the relationship, between managerial pay and firm performance. We argue that this research has generally been limited because it ignores other criteria that can be used to determine managerial pay, as well as the influence of a firm's governance structure and various contingencies. Our analysis leads to a general framework for research on executive pay. This framework is used to evaluate the present state of research in this field and the contributi...

摘要：This study analyzed 119 strategic alliances formed during the period 1987-91. Using the event study methodology, we found that announcements of technological alliances enjoyed greater abnormal returns in the stock market than marketing alliance announcements. Consistent with our expectations, abnormal returns were negatively correlated with firm profitability and size, indicating that investors perceived more profitable, larger firms as capturing less of the gain generated in alliances, Indeed...

摘要：This study explored the use of clique analysis for explaining network effectiveness. In data from networks of mental health agencies in three cities, effectiveness, measured as client outcomes, was negatively related to the integration of full networks. In contrast, effectiveness was positively related to integration among small cliques of agencies when these cliques bad overlapping links through both reciprocated referrals and case coordination. The findings have implications for both theory ...
