• Do real options lead to escalation of commitment? AI翻译
  作者：Zardkoohi, A
  作者单位：Texas A&M University System; Texas A&M University College Station
  摘要：I examine the concern that unconstrained real options can lead to escalation. of commitment and identify contexts in which escalation of commitment is likely. I argue that these situations fall primarily outside the realm of unregulated for-profit organizations and also that the predictions of agency and attribution theories counter the predictions of the escalation of commitment framework. Finally, I assert that optimality requires flexibility in the timing of the exercise of real options whe...
• A rhetorical theory of diffusion AI翻译
  作者：Green, SE Jr
  作者单位：University of Southern California
  摘要：I use rhetorical theory to reconceptualize the diffusion of managerial practices. Specifically, I argue that the diffusion of a practice depends on the discursive justifications used to rationalize it. When such justifications are accepted and taken for granted, a practice reaches a state of institutionalization. Furthermore, I propose that changes in justifications and diffusion provide a basis for explaining institutionalization as both a process and a state. I then develop several propositi...
• Finding value in diversity: Verification of personal and social self-views in diverse groups AI翻译
  作者：Swann, WB Jr; Polzer, JT; Seyle, DC; Ko, SJ
  作者单位：University of Texas System; University of Texas Austin; University of Texas System; University of Texas Austin; Harvard University; University of Colorado System; University of Colorado Boulder
  摘要：We propose a model of group processes that accords a key role to the verification of people's self-views (thoughts and feelings about the self). This approach partially incorporates past work on self-categorization (under the rubric of verification of social self-views) and introduces a new set of processes (the verification of personal self-views) to the groups literature. Conceptual analysis and recent empirical evidence suggest the self-verification framework offers a novel perspective on f...
• Strategic leadership and organizational learning AI翻译
  作者：Vera, D; Crossan, M
  作者单位：University of Houston System; University of Houston; Western University (University of Western Ontario)
  摘要：Adopting the strategic leadership perspective, we develop a theoretical model of the impact of CEO and top manager leadership styles and practices on organizational learning. We take a fine-grained look at the processes and levels of organizational learning to describe how strategic leaders influence each element of the learning system. Researchers have implicitly assumed transformational leadership approaches to organizational learning. We challenge this conventional wisdom by highlighting th...
• Real options as engines of choice and heterogeneity AI翻译
  作者：McGrath, RG; Ferrier, WJ; Mendelow, AL
  作者单位：Columbia University; University of Kentucky; University System of Ohio; Kent State University; Kent State University Salem; Kent State University Kent
  摘要：Four characterizations of options exist: (1) as a component of total firm value. (2) as specific projects, (3) as choices, and (4) as a heuristic for strategic investment. Option value exists when two conditions apply: future choices and potential for proprietary access to outcomes. Narrower boundary conditions are inconsistent with theory and incomplete for application. The option lens has promise for its power to shed economic insight into behavioral processes.
• Systems of exchange AI翻译
  作者：Biggart, NW; Delbridge, R
  作者单位：University of California System; University of California Davis; University of California System; University of California Davis; Cardiff University
  摘要：We develop a classification scheme of systems of exchange using concepts from network analysis, economics, and cultural sociology. This classification illustrates that the free market is but one possible type of economy and that other types are not best understood as imperfections. This classification helps to distinguish analytically among qualitatively different types of exchange arrangements and suggests bases from which to develop theories about the organization of markets and exchange sys...
• Can we talk, and should we? Managing emotional conflict in multicultural teams AI翻译
  作者：Von Glinow, MA; Shapiro, DL; Brett, JM
  作者单位：State University System of Florida; Florida International University; University System of Maryland; University of Maryland College Park; Northwestern University
  摘要：We highlight linguistic-related challenges in multicultural teams that increase the likelihood of emotional conflict, and also highlight the difficulty of finding words in emotional situations because of the nonlinear, fragmented, image-driven qualities of these circumstances. As a result, we question whether team members embroiled in emotional conflict ought to be advised to talk (discuss their feelings with the goal of repairing frayed relationships), whether this meaning of talk is shared b...
• Motivating individuals and groups at work: A social identity perspective on leadership and group performance AI翻译
  作者：Ellemers, N; De Gilder, D; Haslam, SA
  作者单位：Leiden University - Excl LUMC; Leiden University; Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam; University of Exeter
  摘要：We argue that additional understanding of work motivation can be gained by incorporating current insights concerning self-categorization and social identity processes and by examining the way in which these processes influence the motivation and behavior of individuals and groups at work. This theoretical perspective that focuses on the conditions determining different self-definitions allows us to show how individual and group processes interact to determine work motivation. To illustrate the...
• Constructing deal networks: Brokers as network architects in the USIPO market and other examples AI翻译
  作者：Pollock, TG; Porac, JF; Wade, JB
  作者单位：University System of Maryland; University of Maryland College Park; New York University; University of Wisconsin System; University of Wisconsin Madison
  摘要：We introduce the concept of the network architect to extend theory explaining how brokers create and manage structural holes in mediated markets. We argue that a broker's social resources and dependence on the market, along with exogenous deal conditions, influence the broker's motivations and willingness to make tradeoffs between long-term and short-term considerations when constructing deal networks. We develop our model and propositions in the context of the U.S. initial public offerings ma...
• Integrating implicit motives. explicit motives, and perceived abilities: The compensatory model of work motivation and volition AI翻译
  作者：Kehr, HM
  作者单位：Macquarie University
  摘要：The compensatory model of work motivation and volition synthesizes some previously unrelated lines of research. The structural components of the model are implicit motives, explicit motives, and perceived abilities; the functional processes are volitional regulation (compensating for inadequate motivation) and problem solving (compensating for inadequate perceived abilities). Propositions that integrate, challenge, and extend existing conceptions are derived. Moreover, the framework of the com...
