• Mixed mode network structures: The strategic use of electronic communication by organizations AI翻译
  作者：Holland, CP; Lockett, AG
  作者单位：University of Leeds
  摘要：The impact of interorganizational systems (IOSs) on the structure of market networks is analyzed from a management perspective. A research framework is applied to various organizational settings, yielding a range of mixed mode forms in which elements of both market and hierarchy are evident. These forms are more complex than the simple network or hybrid structures postulated in the management and information systems literature. The framework represents a departure from electronic markets theor...
• A chaotic model of innovative search: Some answers, many questions AI翻译
  作者：Koput, KW
  摘要：The dynamics of innovative search are investigated. A formal learning model is explicated to understand (1) how attention is allocated and (2) how attention and ideas are related during an active search. A particular chaotic regime of the model is shown to have dynamics similar to an actual search process. This motivates an agenda for research along three primary directions: refinements to the model, extensions that link the model to actions and decisions, and surroundings required to embed su...
• Strategy making under causal ambiguity: Conceptual issues and empirical evidence AI翻译
  作者：Mosakowski, E
  摘要：Causal ambiguity has been a concept in the strategic management and organization theory literatures for some time. However, the full implications of this concept have remained largely undeveloped. This paper takes the concept of causal ambiguity seriously and attempts to evaluate its theoretical and empirical implications.

• The virtues of closet qualitative research AI翻译
  作者：Sutton, RI
  摘要：This essay asserts that, although qualitative methods now enjoy wide legitimacy among organizational researchers, there are still times when it is best to conceal or downplay the role that qualitative data played in developing an author's ideas. I identify four circumstances where treating qualitative research as a closet rather than an open activity may help authors write papers that flow better, are more convincing, and are more readily accepted for publication. These circumstances are when ...
• Irony and the social construction of contradiction in the humor of a management team AI翻译
  作者：Hatch, MJ
  摘要：The thesis I explore in this essay is that organizational members use humorous remarks to discursively construct and organize their cognitive and emotional experiences in and of their organizations. My assumptions are that: (1) organizations are socially constructed through discourse about them (especially managerial discourse), (2) humorous discourse provides a contradiction-centered construction of organizations that operates in the domains of both cognition and emotion, and (3) interpretati...
• Quasi-natural organization science AI翻译
  作者：McKelvey, B
  摘要：Positing that organizational phenomena result from both individual human intentionality and natural causes independent of individuals' intended behavior, the need for a quasi-natural organization science is identified. The paradigm war is defined in terms of positivism and postpositivism, with the suggestion that a more relevant epistemology might be scientific realism. The current unconstructive paradigm proliferation is seen as resulting from an underlying cause, idiosyncratic organizational...
• Control and performance in international joint ventures AI翻译
  作者：Mjoen, H; Tallman, S
  作者单位：Utah System of Higher Education; University of Utah
  摘要：The authors examine the meaning of control in international joint ventures (IJVs) and the relationships of potential means of control in such organizations to the performance satisfaction of the foreign partner. They propose a conceptual model that provides both a traditional ownership-focused internalization perspective on those issues and an integrated approach combining a broader transaction cost interpretation of control with a resource input-based bargaining power model. A set of simultan...
• The logic of propagation strategies: Axiomatizing a fragment of organizational ecology in first-order logic AI翻译
  作者：Peli, G; Masuch, M
  作者单位：University of Amsterdam
  摘要：As a part of a larger effort to apply formal logic to organization science, we axiomatize the theory of propagation strategies (life history strategies) of Organization Ecology. We provide an axiomatic system in first-order logic that derives the theory's predictions as theorems from a set of underlying assumptions. First-order logic is widely seen as a standard language for the formalization of scientific theories; it couples considerable expressive power with acceptable computational propert...
• Modelling the origins of nationally-bound administrative heritages: A historical institutional analysis of French and British firms AI翻译
  作者：Calori, R; Lubatkin, M; Very, P; Veiga, JF
  作者单位：University of Connecticut
  摘要：The nation state form of capitalism as the determinant of nationally-bound administrative traditions and practices is receiving renewed attention in Organization Theory. In part, this interest derives from theory building on the basis of historical analysis and, in part, it derives from the attempts to conceptualize evolutionary models of new organization forms in which the persistence of the nation state form of capitalism is reflected in specific aspects of the form such as the employment re...
