Christ and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To remain competitive today, flatter organizations must rely more on middle management in order to adapt in response to demands in the dynamic environments in which they operate. Yet oftentimes organizations do not change even in the face of evolving markets. Using an experiment, we examine how the type of control system used by organizations can shifting middle manager perception of environmental stability as well as influencing their willingness to recommend organizational change. Consistent with our expectations, we find a positive association between middle managers' perceived environmental uncertainty and their willingness to recommend organizational strategic change. This relationship is moderated by control system type, especially for those middle managers whose perceived environmental uncertainty is low. In particular, we find that relative to interactive control systems, diagnostic control systems are more effective in directing manager attention toward environmental uncertainties and increasing the willingness of those managers to recommend a strategic change. Our results are an initial step in understanding the relationships between environmental uncertainty and control systems and thus can help senior managers design and implement control systems for flatter organizations in dynamic environments where middle managers are critical to initiating adaptive strategic change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The performance of governments around the globe is constantly in the spotlight, whether as a celebration or indictment of their activities. Providing evidence on strategies to improve the performance of public agencies is therefore essential to the practice of public management. Originally published in 2006, this important contribution to the debate explores issues of measurement, research methodology, and management influences on performance. It focuses on three key questions: what approaches should be adopted to measure the performance of public agencies? What aspects of management influence the performance of public agencies? As the world globalizes, what are the key international issues in performance measurement and management? In examining these questions, the contributors debate both methodological and technical issues regarding the measurement of performance in public organizations, and provide empirical analyses of the determinants of performance. The book concludes with groundbreaking work on the international dimensions of these issues.

Download or read book Handbook of Entrepreneurial Dynamics written by William B Gartner and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2004-06-21 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This important Handbook of Entrepreneurial Dynamics reports on the Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics (PSED), the most comprehensive scientifically representative study to date of nascent entrepreneurs. The book is unique because the study identified individuals in the process of creating new businesses to understand how, at its very source, people move from considering the option of starting a new business to its actual founding. This has never been done before in the history of entrepreneurship research... I cannot recommend this book more strongly to entrepreneurship scholars and those interested in where entrepreneurs come from and how they move from their initial idea to new venture founding." --Claudia Bird Schoonhoven, University of California, Irvine "This Handbook makes a terrific contribution to understanding entrepreneurship and new business creation. Its 38 chapters report major findings from the Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics (PSED), an unprecedented research program involving more than a hundred researchers from 10 countries. This Handbook is ′must reading′ for anyone interested in entrepreneurship research." --Andrew H. Van de Ven, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota Entrepreneurial activity provides profound positive benefits across an important set of measures of social and economic well-being, much of it concentrated in new economic sectors such as information technology. Yet, even though entrepreneurship has been shown to provide many benefits, it is surprising that there has not been a systematic study of the entrepreneurial process. The Handbook of Entrepreneurial Dynamics: The Process of Business Creation fills this gap by offering theories, ideas, and measures that can be used to explore and understand the factors that encompass and influence the creation of new businesses. The chapters in the handbook provide the rationale for questionnaires used in the Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics (PSED). The PSED is a research program that was initiated to provide systematic, reliable, and generalizable data on important features of the new business creation process. The PSED includes information on the proportion and characteristics of the adult population involved in efforts to start businesses, the activities and characteristics that comprise the nature of the business start-up process, and the proportion and characteristics of those business start-up efforts that actually become new businesses. The handbook also describes the PSED data collection process; provides documentation of the interview schedules, codebooks, data preparation and weighting scheme; as well as offers examples of how analyses of PSED data might be conducted. The authors identify specific measures that can be used to operationalize theory as well as provide evidence from the PSED data sets on these measures′ reliability and validity. The Handbook of Entrepreneurial Dynamics is ideal for a sizeable audience, including graduate students, academics, and librarians in schools of business and management who need a comprehensive reference on business creation. In addition, researchers and policy makers at the federal, state, and local level will find this an invaluable reference covering all of the factors involved in new venture formation. Key Features: * Considers categories of data not available prior to the PSED * Includes a comprehensive overview of theories about new business formation * Provides demographics of nascent entrepreneurs * Analyzes the cognitive characteristics of nascent entrepreneurs * Explores all of the processes of new business formation

Download or read book Managing Uncertainty in Organizational Communication written by Michael W. Kramer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Michael W. Kramer applies uncertainty reduction theory (URT)--a key theory in current communication scholarship--to the context of organizational communication. Examining URT and the range of research applicable to organizational settings, Kramer proposes a groundbreaking theory of managing uncertainty (TMU), which synthesizes prior research while also addressing its criticisms. Examples are provided to illustrate the principles of the TMU at both the individual and collective (group/organizational) levels of analysis. Original studies based on the theory show that it provides a useful extension of URT, addressing some concerns raised by critics of that earlier model. Kramer illustrates that, as a model in progress, TMU will change as new research and insights build upon it. Managing Uncertainty in Organizational Communication assists readers in understanding and researching uncertainty in communication, which encourages additional changes and improvements to the model. It is of primary interest to scholars, researchers, and practitioners in organizational, interpersonal, and group communication.

Download or read book Object and Relations Uncertainty written by Tony Francolini and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: I contend that perceived environmental uncertainty should be divided into a new pair of uncertainty components, which I label object and relations uncertainty. Object uncertainty is defined as an actor's inability to predict the future accurately due to a lack of information about object items (i.e., tangible, reducible, asocial items). Relations uncertainty is defined as an actor's inability to predict the future accurately due to a lack of information about relations items (abstract, reduction-resistant, social items). I contend that the object-relations uncertainty component-set is supported by uncertainty research and categorization theory. First, these two components are supported by the works of a variety of prominent organizational and decision-making theorists who portray uncertainty with both object-like and relations-like qualities. Second, this component-set is supported by categorization theory, which identifies the object and relations categories as a fundamental pair of superordinate categories that individuals activate as they make sense of their certain and uncertain environments. To validate this new component-set I conducted two studies on two different samples. In the first, respondents compared multiple uncertainty statements that expressed different degrees of object and relations uncertainty. I found that respondents perceived object and relations uncertainty as distinct. Without any priming, respondents rated uncertainties from the same component (i.e., object-to-object or relations-to-relations comparisons) as similar, while they rated uncertainties from different components (i.e., object-to-relations comparisons) as dissimilar. Moreover, these respondents ordered the uncertainties along an axis based on the degree of object or relations component they perceived. In the second study, respondents were presented either an object or relations uncertainty and asked to rate the appropriateness of a variety of uncertainty responses. I found that respondents who perceived object uncertainty preferred different responses than respondents who perceived relations uncertainty. For instance, respondents presented with object uncertainty preferred augmenting the gathering and processing of information, while respondents presented with relations uncertainty preferred to alter the coordination metrics that guided their relationship with transactors. In summary, I find that object and relations uncertainty are perceived as a set of uncertainty components, and account for actor-response variance that is not otherwise accounted for by the more traditional explanatory variable 'degree of uncertainty'.
