  摘要：Common sense suggests that work is organized in accordance with plans that are created by designers who reflect on the work setting and manipulate representations of the work process in order to determine new and efficient organizational structures. Or, even if outside designers are not involved, the reorganization of work is normally attributed to the conscious reflection by members of the work group itself. A detailed examination of the response of a real-world group to a sudden and unexpect...

  摘要：Organization learn from experience. Sometimes, however, history is not generous with experience. We explore how organizations convert infrequent events into interpretations of history, and how they balance the need to achieve agreement on interpretations with the need to interpret history correctly. We ask what methods are used, what problems are involved, and what improvements might be made. Although the methods we observe are not guaranteed to lead to consistent agreement on interpretations,...
• EXPLORATION AND EXPLOITATION IN ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING AI翻译

  摘要：This paper considers the relation between the exploration of new possibilities and the exploitation of old certainties in organizational learning. It examines some complications in allocating resources between the two, particularly those introduced by the distribution of costs and benefits across time and space, and the effects of ecological interaction. Two general situations involving the development and used of knowledge in organizations are modeled. The first is the case of mutual learning...

  摘要：The degree of risk taking by lower level (division) managers is expected to vary depending upon the extent and type of diversification. Limited diversification, when coupled with M-form adoption and decentralization, induces managerial risk taking. Notwithstanding, the control system elaborations (e.g., strategic business unit [SBU] structures) to facilitate information processing as firms increase diversification, extensively diversified firms reach limits such that control loss reduces manag...
• DEFINING VOLUNTARY GROUPS AND AGENCIES WITHIN ORGANIZATION SCIENCE AI翻译

  摘要：To regard voluntary organizations as unique manifestations of organizational behavior requires an accurate account of the nature of such work systems. This paper appraises existing definitions of the voluntary agency in the context of organization science and presents evidence for replacing the nonvoluntary/voluntary dichotomy with entrepreneurial, professional, and bureaucratic organizations, on the one hand, and two voluntary-organizational subtypes on the other: voluntary groups, in which v...
• CULTURAL LEADERSHIP IN ORGANIZATIONS AI翻译

  摘要：Although there is general recognition that leadership is important for organizational cultures, the issue of how leadership affects culture has received only scattered attention. Existing analyses have tended to focus on how leaders create or change cultures, ignoring the role that leadership plays in maintaining cultures. This paper focuses on how cultural leadership that innovates, by either creating or changing organizational cultures, is likely to differ from that which maintains organizat...

  摘要：In this paper, we consider whether there existed a significant and systematic relationship between firm performance and information technology investment intensity in the home office operation of 40 systems technology leaders in the life insurance industry, 1983-1986. It is hypothesized that in top performance insurance firms (1) information technology costs as a proportion of total operating costs were higher, and (2) information technology costs as a proportion of premium income were lower, ...
