摘要:Aspects of corporate image, or the image associated with the name of an organization, and recruitment image-the image associated with its recruitment message-were studied. Data collected from five student groups indicate that the image of an organization is related to the information available about it. Additional results are that different external groups only moderately agree on ratings of corporate image, potential applicants have different corporate and recruitment images of the same organ...

摘要:This longitudinal study examined the impact that chief executive officer succession had on changes in the structures and strategy-making processes of some large corporations. The results indicate that succession events tended to be followed by a diffusion of authority and, in the context of poor performance, by increased organizational information processing. New leadership was also associated with change, regardless of direction, in most of the dimensions of structure and process assessed.

摘要:Case surveys bridge the gap between nonmothetic surveys and idiographic case studies to combine their respective benefits of generalizable, cross-sectional analysis and in-depth, processual analysis. Methodological fragmentation has limited systematic utilization of numerous managerially relevant case studies. This article develops a comprehensive procedure synthesizing the individual strengths of previous effort and illustrates this method in a case survey of mergers and acquisition. The empi...

摘要:The reported research investigated the relative impacts of individual attributes, formal position, and network centrality on the exercise of individual power, measured as involvement in technical and administrative innovations. Centrality was more important for administrative innovation roles, and rank and centrality were indistinguishable in their effects on technical innovation roles. Centrality also appeared to mediate the impact of individual attributes and formal position on administrativ...

摘要:From one theoretical perspective, exchange, dissimilar organizations link together because they must acquire needed resources from each other. From another perspective, homophily, similar organizations link together to cooperate. We examined predictions based on both perspectives concerning the effects of generalism and niche overlap on interorganizational linkages among 46 youth service agencies. Generalism and niche overlap were measured for clients, services, and funding. The results suppor...

摘要:This study reviews the use of outside informants-individuals not employed in the firm being studied-in strategy research reported in major journals. We empirically explored the expertness of these informants in terms of interrater reliability and accuracy of their ratings compared to those provided by insiders. Four groups of outside informants in the airline industry-consultants, security analysts, stakeholders, and academics-and senior airline executives whose companies initiated certain com...

摘要:The extent of people's cultural beliefs of individualism or collectivism has been used to predict the effectiveness of many management practices. A key aspect of those characteristics is the relation of individualists and collectivists to members of their ingroup and outgroups. This study examined the implications of group membership for individuals' performance in a group setting through an experiment using Chinese, Israeli, and American subjects. The performance of individualists who thought...

摘要:We examined the concept of archetype, implicit in a number of contemporary approaches to the study of organizational design and change, Despite an emerging interest in archetypes, the concept has received inadequate investigation. The present article offers a basis for definition of the concept and sets down three assumptions, which we tested using data collected longitudinally from 24 organizations. We present a number of theoretical and methodological implications of the archetype approach t...

摘要:This study employed meta-analytic procedures to evaluate the potential validity of a model of planned organizational change. Hypotheses derived from this model focus on the relationships among planned change interventions and three classes of organizational variables, assessing work settings, individual behavior, and organizational outcomes. The aggregated results of 52 evaluations of planned change interventions were largely consistent with the hypotheses, providing considerable support for t...
