摘要：A critical stage in change toward institutional pluralism occurs when incumbent organizations must begin to integrate diverse logics in their operations. The required institutional work inside organizations at that stage-institutional intrapreneurship-involves distinctive challenges. Incumbent logics are entrenched in organizational routines, status orders, policies, and structures that hamper change and trigger resistance. We used qualitative data from two integrative medicine (IM) programs i...

摘要：This article explores when and why firms participate in overt corporate-sponsored social activism. To shed light on this question, I empirically explore the emergence and implications of a new strategic phenomenon in nonmarket strategy-the corporate-sponsored boycott-in which firms voluntarily cooperate with contentious social movement organizations to sponsor boycotts that protest the contested social practices of other companies or entities at higher orders of market organization, such as in...

摘要：Problem-solving research and formal problem-solving practice begin with the assumption that a problem has been identified or formulated for solving. The problem-solving process then involves a search for a satisfactory or optimal solution to that problem. In contrast, we propose that, in informal problem solving, a need and a solution are often discovered together and tested for viability as a need-solution pair.'' For example, one may serendipitously discover a new solution and assess it to b...

摘要：A central premise of business groups is that controlling shareholders seize disproportionate control in excess of their ownership as a means of becoming and remaining competitive. We reexamine this axiom by exploring the relationship between excess control rights and performance outcomes in business groups. Using a sample of 106 Taiwanese business groups, we confirm that the effects of excess control in business groups are double edged, such that group-level excess control exhibits an inverted...

摘要：In this paper we develop the outlines of a theory for the firm-a theory that guides a firm's path to value creation, in response to the critique by von Hippel and von Krogh [von Hippel E, von Krogh G (2016) Identifying viable need-solution pairs: Problem solving without problem formulation. Organ. Sci. 27:207-221; henceforth Hippel-Krogh] of the problem-solving perspective as a theory of value creation. Hippel-Krogh argue (a) that problems and solutions cannot always be separated because they ...

摘要：Organizations in democratic societies often encounter detrimental public policies that are later reversed through rather predictable political cycles. The standard organizational responses to detrimental public policies examined in the literature include exiting the market altogether, attempting to change the public policy through various political strategies, or passively complying with the policy. However, these responses might not be suitable when a detrimental policy is likely to be revers...

摘要：In this article, I examine the effects of tight coupling on organizational activities through a case study of the judging changes in figure skating following the 2002 Olympic judging scandal, which have transformed skating. In keeping with research that has called for a more complete understanding of the relationship between organizational structures and daily activities, I argue that institutional theory has treated coupling too broadly and that we need a better understanding of what tight co...

摘要：Organizational network research has demonstrated that multiple benefits accrue to people occupying brokerage positions. However, the extant literature offers scant evidence of the process postulated to drive such benefits ( information brokerage) and therefore leaves unaddressed the question of how brokers broker. We address this gap by examining the information-brokerage interactions in which actors engage. We argue that the information-brokerage strategies of brokers differ in three critical...

摘要：We explore how organizational culture shapes an organization's integration and enactment of an external routine that is not a cultural fit. Attending to employees' use of culture as a repertoire of strategies of action, we found that the use of familiar cultural strategies of action shaped the routine's artifacts and expectations even before it was performed, a process we call cultural molding. Subsequently, employees drew differently on cultural strategies of action as they performed the rout...

摘要：In this paper, we examine the role of reflective talk in how routines change. We argue that talk enables routine participants to collectively reflect on the routine and work out new ways of enacting it. Drawing on a year-long ethnographic study of a start-up company in the pharmaceutical industry, we show that talk supports the enactment of collective reflection by enabling the participants to (1) name and situate the issue to be discussed with regard to the performative and ostensive aspects ...
