• Looking forward and looking backward: Cognitive and experiential search AI翻译
  作者：Gavetti, G; Levinthal, D
  作者单位：University of Pennsylvania
  摘要：We used computer simulations to examine the role and interrelationship between search processes that are forward-looking, based on actors' cognitive map of action-outcome linkages, and those that are backward-looking, or experience based. Cognition was modeled as a simple, low-dimensional representation of a more complex, higher dimensional fitness landscape. Results show that, although crude, these representations still act as a powerful guide to initial search efforts and usefully constrain ...
• Survival of the fittest? Entrepreneurial human capital and the persistence of underperforming firms AI翻译

  摘要：The model developed here explains why some firms survive while other firms with equal economic performance do not. We argue that organizational survival is not strictly a function of economic performance but also depends on a firm's own threshold of performance. We apply this threshold model to the study of new venture survival, in which the threshold is determined by the entrepreneur's human capital characteristics, such as alternative employment opportunities, psychic income from entrepreneu...
• Organizational discretion in responding to institutional practices: Hospitals and cesarean births AI翻译
  作者：Goodrick, E; Salancik, GR
  作者单位：Carnegie Mellon University
  摘要：While others have tried to accommodate agency and interests within institutional theory by directly incorporating a strategic choice perspective, we propose here that institutions are primary and exist as the context within which interests operate. We argue that uncertainty provides discretion, implying that organizational influence on practice will be greatest when institutional standards are most uncertain. We examine these arguments in the context of cesarean section surgeries in hospitals ...
• A SOCIAL-MOVEMENT PERSPECTIVE ON CORPORATE-CONTROL AI翻译
  作者：DAVIS, GF; THOMPSON, TA
  摘要：This paper argues that efficiency-oriented approaches to corporate governance and law are limited in their ability to explain the politics of corporate control and, in particular, the rise of shareholder activism. Politics, like other social action, is embedded in social structures that influence whether, when, and how collective action is accomplished by interest groups. We use a social movement framework to explain the changing capacities of shareholders and managers-as members of classes-to...
• POWER, SOCIAL-INFLUENCE, AND SENSE MAKING - EFFECTS OF NETWORK CENTRALITY AND PROXIMITY ON EMPLOYEE PERCEPTIONS AI翻译
  作者：IBARRA, H; ANDREWS, SB
  作者单位：Harvard University
  摘要：This paper explores the hypothesis that network interaction patterns affect employee perceptions through two conceptually and empirically distinguishable mechanisms: localized social influence based on network proximity and systemic power based on network centrality. The study explores the relative contributions of individual attributes, formal organizational positions, network centrality, and network proximity in explaining individual variation in perceptions of work-related conditions in an ...
• 2-STEP LEVERAGE - MANAGING CONSTRAINT IN ORGANIZATIONAL POLITICS AI翻译
  作者：GARGIULO, M
  摘要：This paper proposes an alternative to resource-dependence approaches to strategic behavior, which predict that actors seek direct cooptive relations to alleviate constraint. I propose that an actor can gain leverage on a limiting party by building a cooptive relation with a player that may control this party's behavior, thus using two-step leverage. Data on dependence relations, political alliances, and confidential discussion networks among decision makers in a cooperative agribusiness furnis...
