摘要:Instead of paradigmatic unity. we call for progressive theory development from a set of core concepts (Lakatos, 1970) comprising primacy of relations, ubiquity of embeddedness. social utility of connections, and structural patterning of social life. Organizational network research can capture complexity and distinctiveness of individuals and networks in terms of mutual constitution and change. The goal is not to delineate small puzzles whose outcomes are predetermined but to signal bold ideas ...

摘要:In this article we develop the concept of community-based enterprise (CBE) and argue that it provides a potential strategy for sustainable local development in poor populations. We maintain that in this emerging form of entrepreneurship, typically rooted in community culture, natural and social capital are integral and inseparable from economic considerations, transforming the community into an entrepreneur and an enterprise. Drawing on interdisciplinary and multilevel approaches, we propose a...

摘要:We identify two discursive formations of organizational surveillance (two coherent but competing systems of representation) that figure prominently in organization and management studies: the coercive formation and the caring formation. These formations have allowed communities of researchers who share basic theoretical assumptions to build distinctive bodies of knowledge about surveillance's purpose and consequences. We propose an ironic approach that allows us to consider the coercive and ca...

摘要:By considering the amount of uncertainty perceived and the willingness to bear uncertainty concomitantly, we provide a more complete conceptual model of entrepreneurial action that allows for examination of entrepreneurial action at the individual level of analysis while remaining consistent with a rich legacy of system-level theories of the entrepreneur. Our model not only exposes, limitations of existing theories of entrepreneurial action but also contributes to a deeper understanding of imp...

摘要:I explore the promise organization research offers for improved management practice and how, at present, it falls short. Using evidence-based medicine as an exemplar. I identify ways of closing the prevailing research-practice gap-the failure of organizations and managers to base practices on best available evidence. I close with guidance for researchers, educators, and managers for translating the principles governing human behavior and organizational processes into more effective management ...

摘要:I present a model of capability reconfiguration, integrating the Schumpeterian perspective on technological discontinuities with the dynamic capabilities literature to explain the responses of incumbents to technological change. I identify substitution, evolution, and transformation as three mechanisms of capability reconfiguration and then link the choice of reconfiguration mechanism to the nature of technological change and to the attributes of capabilities. I conclude that the extent to whi...
