摘要:The idea that interdependent and persistent tensions are intrinsic to organizing is now well accepted. Organizational paradox theory has further stressed the importance of accepting such paradoxes, to convert them into generative forces. However, this recommendation assumes actors have full agency in responding to paradoxes and, therefore, overlooks the role of power dynamics. We expand on paradox theory by drawing attention to organizational pragmatic paradoxes: contradictory demands received...

摘要:As the pace of contemporary work increases, organizations seek to coordinate their employees' efforts, particularly through the temporal coordination of pace and rhythm. Yet, little research has examined individual cognition, affect, and behavior in response to the pull of entrainment to an organization's temporal structure. In this paper, we develop theory highlighting how individuals use temporal schemata-cognitive frameworks about time-to interpret and respond to temporal cues provided by a...

摘要:Scholars have long debated how rigor can be achieved in qualitative analysis. To answer this question, we need to better understand how theory is generated from data. Qualitative analysis is, at its core, a categorization process. Nevertheless, despite a surge of interest in categorization within the social sciences, insights from categorization theory have not yet been applied to our understanding of qualitative analysis. Drawing from categorization theory, we argue that the movement from dat...

摘要:Networks change when either the ties or the nodes are modified. Research on interfirm networks has conceptualized network change as being driven almost exclusively by modifications in ties (additions and deletions). Yet firms frequently engage in actions that modify the ownership and existence of nodes: acquisitions collapse nodes, divestitures split nodes, industry entries create nodes, and industry exits remove nodes. The literatures on corporate strategy and organizational networks have mos...

摘要:Research on organizational paradox has been burgeoning in recent decades. While consensus is growing on the definition of organizational paradox as persistent contradictions between interdependent elements, its ontology continues to be contested. The inherent and constitutive views of organizational paradox adopt competing ontological positions on organizational paradox as existing irrespective of, or only through, organizational members' discursive construction. In this paper, we develop a no...

摘要:The notion that transparency forces organizations to eschew decoupling and embrace substantive adoption represents an important assumption in the corporate social responsibility (CSR) literature. Conversely, research on learning and social control has considered opacity-understood as a lack of transparency-to be conducive to substantive CSR adoption. These opposing viewpoints highlight a fundamental tension: Is transparency good or bad for substantive adoption? This paper resolves this tension...

摘要:The goal of strategy is not only to address a given environment, but also to change it to a firm's advantage. In this article, we maintain that design science provides a useful theoretical foundation for understanding the development of novel strategies by shifting strategists' perspective from what is to what could be, from the past and present to the future, and from choosing among existing alternatives to discovering new problems and solutions. We propose a structured process based on desig...

摘要:Management scholars have typically regarded the widespread instances of hypocrisy across business, religious, and political institutions to be motivated and strategic. We suggest, however, that hypocrisy may stem not only from people's motivation to interpret and utilize information in a self-serving manner but also from fundamental differences in people's access to that information itself. More specifically, we present a multi-stage theory of ethical accounting (TEA) that describes how this d...
