Increasingly, competitive advantage does not reside in a single firm's capabilities or resources, but in interfirm networks that compete with other networks. Recognizing that deployment of the network as a cohesive and coordinated organization is critical when it operates globally, we ask: How does global expansion, in particular entry into emerging markets, affect the cohesion of a large interfirm network and with what consequences? We examine this question through an evolutionary perspective, conceptualizing the process of variation–selection–replication–retention as one cycle of a network-level routine of global expansion. Movement through the cycle accelerates with high levels of network cohesion such that market entry and foreign establishment may become more rapid. We present a longitudinal analysis of the Toyota Group from founding through to its more recent entry into emerging markets, and identify the dangers of a diversion in any stage of this network routine. Our findings highlight the role uncertainty in the emerging market context and speed-based competition plays in the loss of network cohesion, and point to the ongoing, and possibly increased, importance of the core firm's role in maintaining network cohesion and global competitive advantage. 相似文献

This article presents some of the results from an unusual survey of small business owners who differ in their ethnicity: Asians,
blacks, Hispanics, and nonminorities. Contrary to the prevailing view of black and Hispanic business owners and their firms,
the blacks and Hispanics in the data base—in general and on average—had the same human and financial capital as their Asian
and nonminority counterparts. As a result, the black-owned and Hispanic-owned firms performed as well as the Asian-owned and
nonminority-owned firms. Nevertheless, black business owners had lower success rates than nonminority men in obtaining commercial
bank loans, although the terms for loans granted were similar for the two groups. In light of the apparent credit discrimination,
U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) loans remain an important source of debt-type capital to black-owned firms. 相似文献

Public attention has been directed recently at the market for medical malpractice insurance, yet disagreement persists over whether this market has changed and, if so, what has caused this change. In this study, we examine factors that affect the market for this insurance, including the growth in premiums, losses, and investment earnings, and loss variability. Our analysis suggests that there was significant deterioration in the market for medical malpractice insurance beginning in 1998 and culminating in 2001. We conclude that insurers' losses are the primary driver of the market deterioration during the period 1998 through 2003. 相似文献

This brief essay discusses some of the conceptual difficulties and issues associated with defining and recognizing the status quo. These considerations cast doubt on using the status quo as a normative constraint in the formulation and application of policy. 相似文献

This article primarily investigates the applicability of principles of industrial organization to an understanding of the
formation and failure process of minority-owned firms. Among these principles are that formation will be high (and failure
low) when a firm is located in a high growth industry, a high growth geographic locale, and an industry with low capital intensity
and low concentration. The article also evaluates whether some of the hypotheses from the minority literature, such as the
impact of SBA loans to minorities, also contribute to an explanation of the formation and failure process. 相似文献

Discussed here are a number of drug abuse and drug testing issues. This article presents an overview of current developments in the area of drug testing in the workplace. There is an analysis of legislation, federal and state court decisions, and key legal arguments. These decisions and arguments are discussed in the context of employee rights and responsibilities. Also presented are the legal and ethical aspects of drug testing in the workplace. The authors make a case for a rehabilitative rather than a punitive approach to employee drug abuse. 相似文献

In this paper we stress the informal institutions that have evolved alongside formal contracts to mitigate agency costs. The timing of payment is a pervasive example of such an informal institution. The basic result of our analysis is that ex post payment is a rational institutional choice of buyers and sellers designed to control the significant transactions costs inherent in certain types of exchanges characterized by interpersonal differences in information. Moreover, the selection of a payment scheme allocates the roles of principal and agent, with the party having the greater likelihood of cheating becoming the agent. 相似文献
