• TASK ANALYZABILITY, USE OF NEW MEDIA, AND EFFECTIVENESS - A MULTISITE EXPLORATION OF MEDIA RICHNESS AI翻译
  作者：RICE, RE
  摘要：The present study explores the central tenet of media richness theory, derived from contingency theory: when (1) information processing capabilities match (2) information processing demands, (3) performance will improve. This article tests whether using communication media that differ (1) in media richness or social presence (2) in conditions of differing task analyzability (3) affects self-reported performance components such as quality of work, effectiveness, productivity, ability to obtain ...
• AN AGENCY PERSPECTIVE ON NEW TECHNOLOGY CHAMPIONS AI翻译
  作者：LAWLESS, MW; PRICE, LL
  摘要：Technology champions are members of organizations presenting new technology to fellow members who are potential users. They are widely accepted as instrumental in many implementation settings. In the perspective that dominates the current literature, champions are allied with outside technology, and users are slow to adopt innovation. Much effort has gone into describing traits of champions and solving problems in the process of getting users to accept the new technology. This focus emphasizes...

• THE DUALITY OF TECHNOLOGY - RETHINKING THE CONCEPT OF TECHNOLOGY IN ORGANIZATIONS AI翻译
  作者：ORLIKOWSKI, WJ
  摘要：This paper develops a new theoretical model with which to examine the interaction between technology and organizations. Early research studies assumed technology to be an objective, external force that would have deterministic impacts on organizational properties such as structure. Later researchers focused on the human aspect of technology, seeing it as the outcome of strategic choice and social action. This paper suggests that either view is incomplete, and proposes a reconceptualization of ...
• COOPERATIVE VERSUS COMPETITIVE STRUCTURES IN RELATED AND UNRELATED DIVERSIFIED FIRMS AI翻译

  摘要：Herein we argue that different diversification strategies are associated with different sets of economic benefits. Firms that have diversified into related areas can realize benefits from economies of scope, while those that have diversified into unrelated areas can realize benefits from efficient internal governance mechanisms. We hypothesize that distinctly different internal organizational arrangements are required to realize these different benefits. Firms attempting to realize economies o...
• KNOWLEDGE OF THE FIRM, COMBINATIVE CAPABILITIES, AND THE REPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGY AI翻译

  摘要：How should we understand why firms exist? A prevailing view has been that they serve to keep in check the transaction costs arising from the self-interested motivations of individuals. We develop in this article the argument that what firms do better than markets is the sharing and transfer of the knowledge of individuals and groups within an organization. This knowledge consists of information (e.g., who knows what) and of know-how (e.g., how to organize a research team). What is central to o...
• COMMUNICATION AND MOTIVATIONAL PREDICTORS OF THE DYNAMICS OF ORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATION AI翻译

  摘要：This paper reports on research designed to test a dynamic model of the causes of organizational innovation. Two communication variables (level of information and group communication) and three motivational variables (perceptions of equity, expectations of benefits, and perceived social pressure) were derived from equity theory, expectancy theory and the theory of reasoned action. These variables were used to predict the number of innovative ideas contributed by members of the organizations. We...
• ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING AND PERSONNEL TURNOVER AI翻译
  作者：CARLEY, K
  摘要：The impact of personnel turnover on an organization's ability to learn, and hence on its ultimate performance, is explored for organizations with different structures and different tasks. A model of organizational decision making is presented where: (1) the organization is faced with a continuous sequence of similar but not identical problems; (2) each problem is so complex that no one person has access to all of the information nor the skill to comprehend all of the information necessary to m...
• EXECUTIVE SUCCESSION AND ORGANIZATION OUTCOMES IN TURBULENT ENVIRONMENTS - AN ORGANIZATION LEARNING APPROACH AI翻译
  作者：VIRANY, B; TUSHMAN, ML; ROMANELLI, E
  作者单位：Columbia University; Duke University
  摘要：This paper explores executive succession as an important mechanism for organization learning and, thus, for organization adaptation. We argue that executive succession can fundamentally alter the knowledge, skills and interaction processes of the senior management team. These revised skills and communication processes improve the team's ability to recognize and act on changing environmental conditions. Especially in turbulent environments, succession may be critical for improving or sustaining...
• LEARNING WHILE INNOVATING AI翻译
  作者：VANDEVEN, AH; POLLEY, D
  作者单位：Minnesota State Colleges & Universities; Saint Cloud State University
  摘要：This paper examines processes of trial-and-error learning during the development of a technological innovation by an interorganizational joint venture created expressly for developing and commercializing products from the new technology. We develop a model of adaptive learning, which incorporates elements from laboratory models of learning and applies them to the field research setting. The learning model focuses on relationships between the goals, actions, and outcomes of an innovation team w...
