摘要：The management and processing of organizational knowledge are increasingly being viewed as critical to organizational success. By exploring how firms access and exploit alliance-based knowledge, the authors provide evidence to support the argument that the firm is a dynamic system of processes involving different types of knowledge. Using data from a longitudinal study of North American-based joint ventures (JVs) between North American and Japanese firms, they address three related research qu...

摘要：The author questions the possibility of establishing invariant laws for social phenomena and presents an argument for the case study method. Despite the many-alleged advantages of the case study method, its validity remains in doubt. Various concepts and techniques have been developed to make the method rigorous enough to meet the stringent criteria of nomothetical social science, but it often fails to meet two of them: (1) reliability and replicability, and (2) external validity. Those two cr...

摘要：The heralding of improved economic indicators has generated worldwide interest in New Zealand's economic experiment despite the growing concern about the social repercussions of such rapid economic Liberalisation. This paper argues that the compliance of New Zealanders to this economic experiment was achieved through the simultaneous development of a discourse of economic liberalism and a discourse of the management of quality and the subsequent cooption of the latter by the former. As an expe...

摘要：This paper proposes a co-evolutionary theory of strategic alliances. The paper proposes a framework which views strategic alliances in the context of the adaptation choices of a firm. Strategic alliances, in this view, are embedded in a firm's strategic portfolio, and co-evolve with the firm's strategy, the institutional, organizational and competitive environment, and with management intent for the alliance. Specifically, we argue that alliance intent may be described, at any time, as having ...

摘要：In this article the authors offer a way out of the circular debate between the positivist and anti-positivist positions in our literature. Zn the context of the critical issues of ethics, the authors raise the pragmatist alternative and suggest that this common ground might provide a place for the field to not only meet, but also a place where we can productively collaborate. The perspectives outlined in this article are what the field needs: a hopeful and productive setting for proactive scho...
