Climate Change and the Emergence of New Organizational LandscapesOrganization Studies - Tập 33 Số 11 - Trang 1431-1450 - 2012
Bettina Wittneben, Chukwumerije Okereke, Subhabrata Bobby Banerjee, David Levy
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 j...... hiện toàn bộ
The Limits to Specialization: Problem Solving and Coordination in ‘Modular Networks’Organization Studies - Tập 26 Số 12 - Trang 1885-1907 - 2005
Stefano Brusoni
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 th...... hiện toàn bộ
Knowledge, Knowledge Work and Organizations: An Overview and InterpretationOrganization Studies - Tập 16 Số 6 - Trang 1021-1046 - 1995
Frank Blackler
There is current interest in the competitive advantage that knowledge may provide for organizations and in the significance of knowledge workers, organ izational competencies and knowledge-intensive firms. Yet the concept of knowledge is complex and its relevance to organization theory has been insuf ficiently developed. The paper offers a review and critique of current approaches, and ou...... hiện toàn bộ
Discovering Healthcare Cognition: The Use of Cognitive Artifacts to Reveal Cognitive WorkOrganization Studies - Tập 27 Số 7 - Trang 1011-1035 - 2006
Christopher Nemeth, Michael OʼConnor, P. Allan Klock, Richard I. Cook
Healthcare systems, especially hospital operating room suites, have properties that make them ideal for the study of the cognitive work using the naturalistic decision-making (NDM) approach. This variable, complex, high-tempo setting provides a unique opportunity to examine the ways that clinicians plan, monitor, and cope with the irreducible uncertainty that underlies this work domain. A...... hiện toàn bộ
Women and Wages Worldwide: How the National Proportion of Working Women Brings Underpayment into the OrganizationOrganization Studies - Tập 25 Số 6 - Trang 969-986 - 2004
Evert Van de Vliert, Gerben S. van der Vegt
Many employees are underpaid relative to their country’s level of wealth. In agreement with social identity theory principles extended to the national level, our 59-nation study uncovered that this form of wealth-referenced underpayment is associated with the proportion of working women. In countries with a relatively small or relatively large proportion of female workers, all workers are...... hiện toàn bộ
Institutional Work as Logics Shift: The Case of Intel’s Transformation to Platform LeaderOrganization Studies - Tập 34 Số 8 - Trang 1035-1071 - 2013
Annabelle Gawer, Nelson Phillips
In this article, we explore some of the forms of institutional work that organizations perform as they participate externally in the processes that drive change in the institutional logic that characterizes their field, and as they respond internally to the shift as it occurs. More specifically, we present the results of an in-depth case study of Intel Corporation, a firm that was implica...... hiện toàn bộ
Temporary Organizing and Institutional ChangeOrganization Studies - Tập 37 Số 12 - Trang 1819-1840 - 2016
Sampo Tukiainen, Nina Granqvist
The relationship between the temporary and the permanent is a central issue in studies of temporary organizing. Recent research highlights that projects, as key forms of temporary organizations, both constitute and are constituted by their wider institutional contexts. However, there is still a lack of more detailed understanding of the actors and their activities through which projects p...... hiện toàn bộ
The Antecedents of DeinstitutionalizationOrganization Studies - Tập 13 Số 4 - Trang 563-588 - 1992
Christine Oliver
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 institut...... hiện toàn bộ
Task and Institutional Influences on Managers' Mental Models of CompetitionOrganization Studies - Tập 23 Số 1 - Trang 31-62 - 2002
Kevin Daniels, Gerry Johnson, Leslie de Chernatony
From institutional theory, we argue (a) that the competitive, or task environment may encourage divergence of management cognition between organizations, management functions and amongst senior managers, and (b) that the institutional environment may encourage cognitive convergence at the level of the industry, the strategic group and within institutionalized practices linked to management...... hiện toàn bộ
