摘要：This study investigates the determinants of bridging ties within networks of interconnected firms. Bridging ties are defined as nonredundant connections between firms located in different network communities. We highlight how firms can enter into these relationships because of the incentives and opportunities for action that are embedded in the existing network structure. Specifically, we propose that the dynamics of proximate network structures, which reflect firms' and their partners' direct...

摘要：In contrast with previous research that emphasizes brokerage benefits by keeping other actors separated, this study investigates the conditions in which the degree of brokerage persists in subsequent network development when previously disconnected actors are no longer kept separate in a multipartner alliance setting. Analyses of longitudinal alliance data collected from 95 firms in the aircraft, airline, chemical, and energy industries suggest that after forming a multipartner alliance throug...

摘要：For decades, the literatures on firm capabilities and organizational economics have been at odds with each other, specifically relative to explaining organizational boundaries and heterogeneity. We briefly trace the history of the relationship between the capabilities literature and organizational economics, and we point to the dominance of a capabilities first logic in this relationship. We argue that capabilities considerations are inherently intertwined with questions about organizational b...

摘要：In this paper we make a case for the use of multiple theoretical perspectives theory on boundary objects, epistemic objects, cultural historical activity theory, and objects as infrastructure to understand the role of objects in cross-disciplinary collaboration. A pluralist approach highlights that objects perform at least three types of work in this context: they motivate collaboration, they allow participants to work across different types of boundaries, and they constitute the fundamental i...

摘要：Although we know that considerable benefits accrue to individuals With high social status, we do not know the performance effects of gaining or losing status in one's group over time. In two longitudinal studies, we measure the status positions of middle managers currently enrolled in a part-time MBA program at the beginning and end of their study group's life. In both samples, we compare the individual performance (course grades) of the students who gained or lost status to those who maintain...

摘要：The working poor are situated in a very powerful context-the nexus of poverty and low-wage work. Our central premise is that this context represents a strong situation that powerfully affects work-related outcomes, but it has been largely overlooked by organization science, even as the working poor comprise a sizable segment of the workforce. In this paper we briefly review categorical, compositional, and relational theories of poverty from other disciplines, and we describe three key mediator...

摘要：The recognition that better use of existing knowledge can enhance performance has spawned substantial interest in the replication of productive knowledge within organizations. An enduring belief is that when expanding by replication, organizations can and should strive to adapt to fit the salient characteristics of new environments. Yet some have argued that the exploitation of an established template for doing business by replication can be more successful when the template is copied precisel...

摘要：This paper presents a framework for action that accounts for both how organizations get routine things done and how they pursue markedly new things through creative projects. Based on this framework, organizational routines and creative projects are viewed as two types of action trajectories differing with respect to their repetitiveness. An ethnographic case study of an automotive prototype-purchasing process and two initiatives to redesign that process is used to compare an organizational ro...
