MULTINATIONALITY‐PERFORMANCE RELATIONSHIP: A REVIEW AND RECONCEPTUALIZATIONEmerald - Tập 8 Số 1 - Trang 48-67 - 2000
MadanAnnavarjula, SamBeldona
Numerous empirical investigations have attempted to study the relationship between multinationality and firm performance. Results from these studies have produced conflicting findings about this relationship. We argue that one of the causes of the conflicting findings may be an imprecise conceptualization of multinationality. We propose a multidimensional conceptualization based on a metho...... hiện toàn bộ
THE GREAT DUTCH WORK DISABILITY EPIDEMIC: CULTURAL CONSTRUCTION AND INSTITUTIONAL ACTIONEmerald - Tập 2 Số 4 - Trang 384-404 - 1994
RobertHooijberg, Richard H.Price, AkkeneelTalsma
We propose that institutional actors do not just ceremonially comply with the cultural values in their environment, as institutional theorists have suggested. Instead, we argue that institutional actors can use conflicting cultural values as tools to further their interests and, in doing so, affect significant social problems and cause unanticipated changes in their core goals and policies...... hiện toàn bộ

FROM METAPHOR TO METHOD: NONLINEAR SCIENCE AND PRACTICAL MANAGEMENTEmerald - Tập 5 Số 3 - Trang 249-266 - 1997
Gregory A.Daneke
For several decades, scholars have called for “open” or “living systems” approaches to the study of complex organizations. These approaches were especially characterized by the presence of various nonlinear dynamics. Unfortunately, the formal mathematics required to capture these dynamics did not become widely available until the recent mass computing revolution. Meanwhile, these realms of...... hiện toàn bộ
WAVING HELLO OR WAVING GOOD‐BYE? ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE IN THE INFORMATION AGEEmerald - Tập 6 Số 1 - Trang 65-90 - 1998
Gavin M.Schwarz, David M.Brock
Organizational change in an evolving technological age is reconsidered here. Extant organization theory focuses largely on technologically‐induced transformation. This paper argues that this focus is inappropriate. With the proliferation of information technology in the workplace, change literature propounds a particular view of the organization: a lean, flat and networked organization. Re...... hiện toàn bộ
