The Two Faces of Knowledge Search: New Solutions and Capability Development
Organization Studies - Tập 34 Số 12 - Trang 1869-1901 - 2013
Searching for knowledge to solve non-routine problems allows middle managers not
only to design new solutions but also to develop organizational capabilities. We
focus on knowledge search to develop our understanding of how individuals engage
with organizational knowledge in practice, how they acquire and use knowledge,
and the implications for organizational knowledge development. Investigating

Building Project Capabilities: From Exploratory to Exploitative Learning
Organization Studies - Tập 25 Số 9 - Trang 1601-1621 - 2004
This paper presents a model of project capability-building consisting of two
interacting levels of learning. First, it describes the bottom-up, ‘project-led’
phases of learning that occur when a firm moves into a new technology/market
base: an exploratory ‘vanguard project’ phase; a ‘project-to-project’ phase to
capture lessons learned; and a ‘project-to-organization’ phase when an
organization in...
The Antecedents of Deinstitutionalization
Organization Studies - Tập 13 Số 4 - Trang 563-588 - 1992
Deinstitutionalization refers here to the erosion or discontinuity of an
institution alized organizational activity or practice. This paper identifies a
set of organiza tional and environmental factors that are hypothesized to
determine the likelihood that institutionalized organizational behaviours will
be vulnerable to erosion or rejection over time. Contrary to the emphasis in
institutional the...
Culture Gap in Greek Management
Organization Studies - Tập 11 Số 2 - Trang 261-283 - 1990
Since the publication of In Search of Excellence academicians have rushed to
empirically verify the existence or absence of corporate cultures in
organizations. This paper reports on a survey of Greek organizational cultures.
The study utilizes Handy's conceptual framework published in his Gods of
Management. Data for the study were gathered via a questionnaire which was a
translation of Handy's i...
Differences Between American and Greek Managers in Giving Up Control
Organization Studies - Tập 12 Số 1 - Trang 095-108 - 1991
This study seeks to explain under what conditions managers tend to give up
control in decision-making groups and to what extent the impact of these condi
tions differs between U.S. and Greek managers. Contrary to expectations, the
results show that Greek managers give up control in decision-making groups less
frequently than U.S. managers. The results also suggest that U.S. managers have
a somewha...
Individual Perceptions of Organizational Cultures: A Methodological Treatise on Levels of Analysis
Organization Studies - Tập 14 Số 4 - Trang 483-503 - 1993
Data from a survey study of organizational cultures in 20 organizational units
in Denmark and the Netherlands were re-analyzed at the individual level, after
elimination of between-unit variance. A factor analysis showed individuals'
values to be composed of six dimensions, and individuals' perceptions of their
organiza tion's practices of another six dimensions, entirely different from the
dimens...
Climate Change and the Emergence of New Organizational Landscapes
Organization Studies - Tập 33 Số 11 - Trang 1431-1450 - 2012
There is general agreement across the world that human-made climate change is a
serious global problem, although there are still some sceptics who challenge
this view. Research in organization studies on the topic is relatively new. Much
of this research, however, is instrumental and managerialist in its focus on
‘win-win’ opportunities for business or its treatment of climate change as just
anoth...
The Limits to Specialization: Problem Solving and Coordination in ‘Modular Networks’
Organization Studies - Tập 26 Số 12 - Trang 1885-1907 - 2005
This paper builds upon current research into the organizational implications of
‘modularity’. Advocates of modularity argue that the ‘invisible hand’ of markets
is reaching activities previously controlled through the visible hand of
hierarchies. This paper argues that there are cognitive limits to the extent of
division of labour: what kinds of problems firms solve, and how they solve them,
set l...
Globalization, Athletic Footwear Commodity Chains and Employment Relations in China
Organization Studies - Tập 22 Số 4 - Trang 531-562 - 2001
Globalization has hastened the growth of buyer-driven commodity chains that
connect advanced country marketing or retail companies with contractors
manufaturing in low-cost, developing countries. Allegations of labour
exploitation have been levelled at the global firms for turning a blind eye to
their contractors' labour practices. In response, some firms have implemented
codes of practice. This p...
The Value of Intra-organizational Social Capital: How it Fosters Knowledge Transfer, Innovation Performance, and Growth
Organization Studies - Tập 32 Số 2 - Trang 157-185 - 2011
While most literature promotes a positive impact of social capital on various
organizational performance outcomes, empirical results on the social
capital—organizational performance link are not conclusive. We propose that one
reason for the discordant findings is that research has largely not accounted
for the mediating process steps that translate social capital into
organizational performance o...
