摘要：This study empirically tests the existence of populations. It reports a general organizational classification for both the United States and Japanese electronics industries. It tests for and identifies populations within a family of electronics industries and demonstrates the relevance of a general organizational classification for explaining how different natural selection processes affect different populations. Data include 669 US and 144 Japanese electronics firms The results suggest that c...

摘要：Formulation of dynamic theories and process hypotheses is a crucial component in longitudinal research. This paper describes a framework for developing dynamic theory and hypotheses. The procedure require the theorist to address six dimensions of process in each variable: continuity, magnitude of change, rate of change, trend, periodicity and duration. Further, theorists are encouraged to explore the dynamic relations between sets of variables, including rate of change, magnitude of change, la...

摘要：The specific nature of decision rules and the pattern of connections they create between people help determine the performance of an organization. To show these casual connections, decision rules are rigorously defined and their algebraic structure explored. Properties of decision rules and of structure performance are then operationally defined. A number of propositions connecting decision rule properties to performance properties are made, their meanings investigated, and their truths suppor...

摘要：This paper describes assumptions, rationale. and trade-offs involved in designing the research methodology used in a longitudinal study of the relationships among changes in organizational contexts, designs, and effectiveness. The basic research question concerns when how, and why do different types of organizational change occur. Given this research question and a desire to develop and test generalizable theory about changes in organizational design and effectiveness, we conducted a longitudi...

摘要：Individual attainment within organizational careers, or career mobility, has been explained by individual attributes and by demographic processes These seemingly unrelated views can be reconciled by suggesting that employees develop a shared perception of their organization's career hierarchy, and that this shared perception produces systematic managerial selection preferences that influence individual attainment A study that examines the first part of this process is presented The results, ba...

摘要：This paper describes an evolutionary, model of organizational change through the selective retention of Jobs This type of change can operate in addition to top-down planned organizational change, providing another engine of organizational transformation over time All evolutionary change processes require that there he a system for replicating activities over line, a source of variation in activities, and mechanisms which permit some activities to persent while others do not In this model, form...

摘要：This paper considers the technical problem of analyzing sequences of social events. Examples of such sequences from organizational behavior include organizational life cycles, patterns of innovation development, and career tracks of individuals. The methods considered here enable the analyst to find characteristic patterns in such sequences. Forces shaping those patterns can then be found by more conventional methods. After a brief definitional section, the paper begins by discussing three typ...

摘要：This paper discusses the problems and processes involved in conducting longitudinal ethnographic research. The author's field study of technological change in radiology provides the context for the discussion. Specific attention is paid to how researchers can design a qualitative study and then collect data in a systematic and explicit manner. Consequently, the paper seeks to dispel the notion that participant observation and quantitative data analysis are immical. Finally, the social and huma...
