虚拟企业与耗散结构理论

作为系统论的新发展,耗散结构理论主要研究一个系统从无序向有序,从低序向高序转化的机理、条件和规律。将耗散结构理论的思想和方法用于解决管理领域的问题,需要满足耗散结构的一般性判据。虚拟企业是多个企业自发形成的一种自组织结构,具有耗散结构的特征。虚拟企业系统中的耗散结构特征表现在开放性、远离平衡态和序参量的存在。

主管-下属组织认同与下属离职意愿关系的实证分析

采用主管-下属配对数据进行统计分析,结果表明,下属组织认同完全中介主管组织认同与下属离职意愿的关系,且主管组织认同对下属离职意愿没有直接作用,而是通过下属组织认同产生间接作用。同时,该研究还发现,主管组织认同能够传染给下属组织,从而改变下属组织认同。所以,要降低下属的离职意愿,既需要提高主管组织认同,也需要提高下属组织认同。     

水产品供应链组织效率的影响因素

影响水产品供应链中企业合作的因素是多方面的,其中合作效率是最为重要的影响因素,主要受到合作能力和合作意向的影响.应利用利益杠杆调动水产品供应链内部诸方面的积极性,使各主体在各个经营环节来实现利益平衡,建立科学、合理的利益分配机制;通过市场约束、交易成本内部化、合同约束等,完善水产品供应链的约束机制;建立违约风险基金,完善水产品供应链风险化解机制.

A fresh look at the contribution of project management to organizational performance

A better understanding of organizational performance and the contribution that project management can make is the aim. The article adopts the “Competing Values Framework,” a rich framework that is well established both theoretically and empirically but is not well known in the field of project management. The framework is summarized and applied in an empirical investigation of the contribution of project management in general and project management offices (PMOs) in particular to organizational performance. The examination of 11 case studies revealed multiple concurrent and sometimes paradoxical perspectives. The criteria proposed by the framework have been further developed through the identification of a preliminary set of empirically grounded performance indicators. The empirical results contribute to a better understanding of the role of project management generally and PMOs specifically. They also demonstrate the usefulness of this framework for the study of project management's contribution to organizational performance.     

探索性创新、开发性创新与企业绩效的关系——基于组织结构特性调节效应的实证分析

利用251家企业样本数据,将组织结构特性作为权变调节因素纳入探索性创新和开发性创新与企业绩效关系的考察中,构建了一个调节效应分析模型,利用回归分析进行假设检验。结果显示:探索性创新和开发性创新是提高企业绩效的两种重要途径,二者平衡有助于绩效提升、不平衡有损于绩效提升;组织结构特性不同,其对两种创新方式与企业绩效的关系的调节作用不同,其中,组织分权化对探索性创新与企业绩效的关系起正向调节作用,组织正式化对开发性创新与企业绩效的关系起正向调节作用,组织联通性则没有显示出调节作用。     

互惠性与理性经济效应的比较性研究

在知识经济时代,行为经济学的发展动摇了传统经济理论的基础,为现代经济学的发展开辟了新的方向。作为行为经济学的基础性假设之一,互惠性偏好对经济人的理性偏好进行了强烈的挑战,从而导致互惠性企业理论对理性管理理论的冲击。互惠性理念在企业管理机制中具有一定的存在性和革命性,促进了管理行为的优化和管理机制的变革,进而有效地改进了企业的运营绩效。基于相同的企业环境,借助于组织学习与知识转移的传导机制,互惠性与理性经济效应的比较性分析深刻地揭示了互惠性偏好的前沿性,验证了互惠性管理策略在现代经济体系中存在着显著的应用价值,从而为我国企业加强互惠性管理战略、进而改进企业的运作绩效提供了现实性的理论借鉴。     

FOREIGN ENTRY,CULTURAL BARRIERS,AND LEARNING

This paper examines the longevity of foreign entries. Hypotheses are developed on the mode (start-ups vs. acquisitions) and ownership structure (wholly owned vs. joint ventures) in relation to cultural distance. The hypotheses are tested within a framework of organizational learning, using data on 225 entries that 13 Dutch firms carried out from 1966 onwards. Results show that the presence of cultural barriers punctuates an organization's learning. Cultural distance is a prominent factor in foreign entry whenever this involves another firm, requiring the firm to engage in ‘double layered acculturation.’ We also identify locational ‘paths of learning.’ The longevity of acquisitions is positively influenced by prior entries of the firm in the same country. Similarly, the longevity of foreign entries, in which the firm has a majority stake, improves whenever the expanding firm engaged in prior entries in the same country and in other countries in the same cultural block.     

Understanding precedents for frontline employee turnover in luxury hotels: Emotional intelligence as a unifying factor

Current turnover research fails to serve the needs of an industry that is long plagued by employee turnover. Existing literature focuses more on evaluating bundles of human resource practices and fail to provide precise and clear guidance for practitioners. This study proposes that emotional intelligence (EI) unifies sufficient individual factors and organizational factors that affect employee turnover and serves as a single significant precedent for turnover. Data were collected from frontline employees at eight luxury hotels. The direct, indirect, and total impacts of employee EI on employee turnover were tested by structural equation modeling and bootstrap tests. The results suggest that EI has significant indirect impacts through the mediation of perceived organizational support, pay satisfaction and job burnout, and significant total impacts on turnover. Implication suggestions include integrating EI into the recruiting process for new employees and providing training opportunities for current employees to improve their EI.
