• ON THE WISDOM OF REWARDING A WHILE HOPING FOR B AI翻译
  作者：BOETTGER, RD; GREER, CR
  摘要：We explain the deeper organizational wisdom behind what Steven Kerr called the ''folly'' of seemingly inconsistent reward structures. Modern organizations-even those Kerr specifically criticizes as ''fouled-up''-frequently need to serve two contradictory goals at the same time. Three conditions in particular require sophisticated organizations to reward A while nonetheless hoping for B. First, operative goals-e.g., for a police department-may require practical activities like ''social work'' t...
• ELECTRONIC MAIL AS THE MEDIUM OF MANAGERIAL CHOICE AI翻译
  作者：MARKUS, ML
  摘要：As new technologies that support managerial communication become widely used, the question of how and why managers, especially senior managers, use them increases in importance. This paper examines how and why managers use electronic mail. Today, one of the more influential theories of media choice in organization and information science is information richness theory, which has stimulated much empirical research on media selection and has clear implications for how managers should use media. ...
• DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN THE FOREST AND THE TREES - MEDIA, FEATURES, AND METHODOLOGY IN ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION-RESEARCH AI翻译

  摘要：Electronic communication media usually differ from nonelectronic communication media on a variety of communication features. However, research designs typically do not allow for the most revealing examination of communication feature effects. This paper proposes a methodological framework for conceptualizing and operationalizing electronic communication research, and presents an illustrative study based on the framework. The methodological framework distinguishes among communication media, cha...
• COMPARATIVE CAUSE MAPPING OF ORGANIZATIONAL COGNITIONS AI翻译
  作者：LAUKKANEN, M
  摘要：Increasingly, thoughtful managers recognize the role of knowledge and learning in corporate action and performance. Concurrently, a new field, management and organization cognition (MOC), has emerged producing useful insights and findings. Thus far, empirical studies have largely focused on single cases or actors, using often archival data and sometimes ambiguous methods. To advance the field will require pragmatic tools for eliciting data on.thinking in real organizations and for conducting r...

• ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND INDIVIDUAL SENSEMAKING - A SCHEMA-BASED PERSPECTIVE AI翻译
  作者：HARRIS, SG
  摘要：Organizational culture encompasses both individual and group-level phenomena. However, to date, the individual-level dynamics of organizational culture have remained relatively neglected. This paper addresses this neglect by focusing on culture's manifestation in individuals' sensemaking structures and processes. Building off the social cognition literature, I propose that organizational culture's influence on individual sensemaking is revealed in the operation of a patterned system of organiz...
• TALES OF CHANGE - PUBLIC-ADMINISTRATION REFORM AND NARRATIVE MODE AI翻译
  作者：SKOLDBERG, K
  摘要：Several institutional theorists have noted the existence of inconsistencies and decouplings in organizations, depending on conflicting signals from the milieu. Others have pointed out the pressure for homogeneity in organizational fields. These positions may seem contradictory, yet the present article gives support to both of them. The empirical basis is a series of case studies of change in Swedish local authorities. Faced with conflicting signals from the outside, and lacking an internal, do...
• CROSSROADS - WHY ORGANIZATION THEORY NEEDS HISTORICAL ANALYSES - AND HOW THIS SHOULD BE PERFORMED AI翻译

• EXECUTIVE JUDGMENT, ORGANIZATIONAL CONGRUENCE, AND FIRM PERFORMANCE AI翻译
  作者：PRIEM, RL
  摘要：Contingency theory suggests that a match among business-level strategy, organizational structure, and the competitive enviromment is necessary for high performance. This research asks whether manufacturing firm chief executives judge as ''good'' those strategy-structure-environment matches recommended by contingency theory. Knowledge of executive judgment is particulary important for two reasons. First, judgment-defined as an individual's understanding of relationships among objects-governs th...
• FIRM-SPECIFICITY IN CORPORATE APPLIED RESEARCH-AND-DEVELOPMENT AI翻译
  作者：HELFAT, CE
  摘要：Much corporate research and development (R&D) has characteristics that tie it strongly to the firm in which it takes place, and which may make the process of undertaking R&D or the outcome of the R&D difficult for other firms to duplicate perfectly. That is, the R&D is firm-specific. This is particularly true for more highly applied R&D, which tends to involve incremental technological change and often entails alterations and enhancements to existing firm assets, production processes, and prod...
