• The organization of economic activity: Transaction costs, firm capabilities, and the nature of governance AI翻译
  作者：Madhok, A
  摘要：In a recent 1993 paper in Organization Science, Hennart discussed the underlying logic, based on transaction cost and agency theory, for explaining the choice between firms and markets and the reason why most transactions have both firm-like and market-like properties. Relying on Williamson's comparative institutional approach, which studies economic organization from a transaction cost minimizing point of view under the assumption of opportunism, the argument was made that transaction cost (T...
• Knowledge-based approaches to the theory of the firm: Some critical comments AI翻译
  作者：Foss, NJ
  摘要：It is argued that Kogut and Zander (1992) and Conner (1991) erred in the specific way in which they claimed that a distinct theory of the multi-person firm can be constructed on the basis of a theory of organizational knowledge or from resource-based insights. It is not possible to tell very much of a story about why there should be firms in lieu of notions such as ''opportunism'' or ''moral hazard.'' However, properly interpreted, knowledge-based theories may help shed light on issues relatin...
• Toward the flexible form: How to remain vital in hypercompetitive environments AI翻译
  作者：Volberda, HW
  摘要：Hypercompetition has received much attention, but an important question has not been answered: What organizational forms lead to success in hypercompetitive environments? Hypercompetition forces firms to move more quickly and boldly and to experiment in ways that do not conform to traditional administrative theory. Bureaucratic vertical forms severely hamper the ability to respond to accelerating competition. Flexible forms, in contrast, can respond to a wide variety of changes in the competit...

• Prospering in dynamically-competitive environments: Organizational capability as knowledge integration AI翻译
  作者：Grant, RM
  摘要：Unstable market conditions caused by innovation and increasing intensity and diversity of competition have resulted in organizational capabilities rather than served markets becoming the primary basis upon which firms establish their long-term strategies. If the strategically most important resource of the firm is knowledge, and if knowledge resides in specialized form among individual organizational members, then the essence of organizational capability is the integration of individuals' spec...
• Responding to hypercompetition: The structure and processes of a regional learning network organization AI翻译
  作者：HanssenBauer, J; Snow, CC
  作者单位：Pennsylvania Commonwealth System of Higher Education (PCSHE); Pennsylvania State University; Pennsylvania State University - University Park
  摘要：The authors present a model of the learning process in a regional network organization. The model is based on a six-year study of Nordvest Forum, perhaps the only multifirm network in the world to have been purposefully formed to help its member companies learn how to develop and apply knowledge about management and organizational change. The network, composed of 46 companies located in and around Alesund, Norway, has been an effective mechanism for helping many of the region's firms respond t...
• More critical comments on knowledge-based theories of the firm AI翻译
  作者：Foss, NJ
  摘要：This paper continues the critique of knowledge-based theories of the firm that was undertaken in Foss (1996a), specifically criticizing the reasoning in Kogut and Zander (1996) and Conner and Prahalad (1996). I argue that Kogut and Zander (1996) attempt to explain firm organization in terms of a preference for such organization--a distinctly non-economic mode of explanation--and that Conner and Prahalad fail to sufficiently characterize the nature of the firm, because they identify firm organi...
• Hypercompetition in a multimarket environment: The role of strategic similarity and multimarket contact in competitive de-escalation AI翻译
  作者：Gimeno, J; Woo, CY
  作者单位：Purdue University System; Purdue University
  摘要：The effect of intra-industry heterogeneity on hypercompetitive escalation and de-escalation in a multimarket environment is examined. The authors study two critical dimensions of intra-industry heterogeneity: strategic similarity, which captures similarity in competitive orientation, and multimaraket contact, which captures the degree of overlap between rivals in the multiple markets of the industry. Theory predicts that both variables influence the intensity of rivalry and competitive disrupt...
• Dominance, deference, and egalitarianism in organizational interaction: A sociolinguistic analysis of power and politeness AI翻译
  作者：Morand, DA
  摘要：Organizational literature has long presumed that power is communicated and enacted through behaviors exchanged at the level of face-to-face interaction. Little research, however, has investigated this aspect of power. The author explores how power is embedded in manners of speech exchanged in everyday interaction among superiors and subordinates. He draws upon the sociolinguistic theory of ''politeness''. Politeness, linguistic behaviors used to demonstrate regard and consideration for others,...
