摘要：Reported here are the effects of a naturally occurring field experiment in which an intervention to improve a grievance process was introduced and then removed. The experimental design was an interrupted time series with treatment removal and a no-treatment, nonequivalent control group. Its results-more compromise resolutions and a dramatic increase in the number of grievances filed-may be instructive for those who might consider changing workplace justice processes.

摘要：Mechanisms for the successful adoption of process innovation were investigated. Since firms buy most new technologies for manufacturing operations, it is difficult for them to use these technologies to achieve competitive advantage because it is difficult to protect them from imitation and circumvention. We suggest that successful organizations use four integrating mechanisms of two types to capture the value from process innovations, (1) making process innovation a unique occasion for signifi...

摘要：This study examined the relationship between integrated manufacturing, defined as the use of advanced manufacturing technology (AMT), just-in-time inventory control (JIT), and total quality management (TQ), and human resource management from a human capital perspective. Data from managers and nonmanagers showed several direct and interactive effects. AMT was positively related to selective staffing, comprehensive training, developmental appraisal, and externally equitable rewards for operation...

摘要：Competitive moves that are unchallenged or to which response is delayed are important weapons in a strategist's arsenal, so variables that discourage or delay response are of great interest. Using a game theoretic framework, this study investigated the effects on dimensions of competitive response of competitor dependence on a market under attack and the irreversibility of an aggressor's move. The hypothesized relationships were tested with data on competitive moves by U.S. airlines. The resul...

摘要：The research reported used a longitudinal analysis to compare the displacement experience of managers with that of other employees and to examine the factors associated with managerial job loss. Job displacement occurs when employees are permanently separated from their employer when their job disappears. After controlling for individual and industry characteristics, I found that during the mid-1980s managers were actually more vulnerable to displacement than were other employees, suffering pr...

摘要：Researchers have recommended that the theoretical constructs underlying just-in-time (JIT) management systems be identified and developed if JIT is to be fully understood and its full capabilities realized. In this study, we advanced this conceptual development through an instrument based on the relevant literature and empirically deriving three underlying constructs: (1) operating structure and control, (2) product scheduling, and (3) quality implementation. We report a content analysis of th...

摘要：During the 1980s, many diversified firms reduced their diversification by refocusing. This study examined whether this refocusing created market value for the companies involved. It is shown that refocusing announcements are associated with significant, positive abnormal returns, which implies that firm diversification levels prior to refocusing were higher than optimal.

摘要：This study's argument is that a firm's diversification posture determines the degree of integration it needs across business units, which in turn influences the ideal composition of its corporate top management team. Archival data from 134 firms revealed that the degree of social cohesion and type of knowledge base within a firm's top management team were related to the degree of interdependence the firm's diversification posture demanded. Contrary to our hypotheses, experience in core functio...

摘要：This article examines the establishment of associate membership programs by national private sector unions. We used theories of innovation and diversification to develop hypotheses relating organizational and environmental characteristics to union decisions to establish such programs. Data from a variety of sources, including a telephone survey, were used to develop measures, and the hypotheses were tested with logistic regression analysis procedures. Predictions involving the scope of union s...

摘要：Top managers' power plays a key role in strategic decision making. However, although numerous scholars have recognized its importance, very few have attempted to measure the phenomenon. In this article, I present a set of dimensions measuring top managers' power and suggest a measurement methodology to facilitate empirical inquiry. Data from a group of 1,763 top managers in three industries were used to assess the validity and reliability of the power dimensions in three studies. Results demon...
