Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Survival in the Network: On the Persistence of Research Organizations in an Emerging Field Hi: The likelihood of persistence in the development of a technology increases when the focal organization belongs to an interconnected clique of collaborating organizations in the community. It is obvious, though, that the position of a research organization in a collaborative r8 d network is a multidimensional concept. Based on sociometric theory (e.g. Burt, 1992; Freeman, 1977 and 1979; Knoke and Kuklinski, 1983) several indicators of the position of an organization in its collaborative network can be operationalized. The first indicator is the size of the network to which an individual organization belongs. As the number of organizations collaborating with a focal organization increases, its exposure to diverse sources of 'tacit' knowledge increases (cohen and Levinthal, Access to multiple knowledge sources may in turn have a positive effect on the persistence of the organization to continue its efforts in the field. H2: The number of organizations with which a focal organization directly interacts will have a positive effect on its contribution-span. Network size alone does not yet capture the intensity of collaboration among directly interconnected organizations. If ego's network consists of N organiza tions, then the maximum number of possible linkages among the N actors is n(n if the network is symmetrical. Burt's proportional density indicator (1991) re ects the number of contact pairs the focal organization is involved in divided by the maximum number of contact dyads the organization could be in volved in, given the size of its network. Proportional density can now be linked to knowledge diversity. The more the proportional density in ego's network ap proaches its maximum value of 1, the more homogenous we assume the knowledge sources represented by the various actors in the network to be. Homogeneity has the advantage of introducing focus in the research agendas by the members of the network, but it has the potential disadvantage of reducing the variety of problem-solving approaches pursued by the network actors. Therefore, as a corollary to hypothesis 2, the influence of network homogeneity on organizational contribution-spans warrants further exploratory attention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Organizations and Environments was originally issued in 1979, it increased interest in evolutionary explanations of organizational change. Since then, scholars and practitioners have widely cited the book for its innovative answer to this question: Under what conditions do organizations change? Aldrich achieves theoretical integration across 13 chapters by using an evolutionary model that captures the essential features of relations between organizations and their environments. This model explains organizational change by focusing on the processes of variation, selection, retention, and struggle. The "environment," as conceived by Aldrich, does not refer simply to elements "out there"beyond a set of focal organizationsbut rather to concentrations of resources, power, political domination, and most concretely, other organizations. Scholars using Aldrich's model have examined the societal context within which founders create organizations and whether those organizations survive or fail, rise to prominence, or sink into obscurity. A preface to the reprinted edition frames the utility of this classic for tomorrow's researchers and businesspeople.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work explores how external constraints affect organizations and provides insights for designing and managing organizations to mitigate these constraints. All organizations are dependent on the environment for their survival. It contends that it is the fact of the organization's dependence on the environment that makes the external constraint and control of organizational behaviour both possible and almost inevitable. Organizations can either try to change their environments through political means or form interorganizational relationships to control or absorb uncertainty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1999. Contemporary organizations are faced with increasingly rapid and dramatic change within their political, cultural and technological environments. Institutions in Turbulent Environments critically examines the way organizations respond to these changes,with a particular focus upon the institutional disability sector. The book examines available theory concerning organizational contingency, adaptation and population ecology. It utilizes a framework developed from this theory to examine the ways in which a major institution for the intellectually disabled responded to the turbulence within its environment. It uses this data to re-examine theory and to propose changes to the way organization/environment relationships are understood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: to do to ensure survival, and (2) principles for designing organizational structures in such a way that they can realize the required functions adequately. In the course of their elaboration, we will show that these principles are general – i.e., that they hold for all organizations. 1.5 Conceptual Background To describe organizations as social systems conducting experiments and to present principles for designing an infrastructure supporting the “social experiment,” we use concepts from (organizational) cybernetics, social systems theory, and Aristotle’s ethics. In this book, we hope to show that concepts from these traditions – as introduced by their relevant representatives – can be integrated into a framework supporting our perspective on organizations. To this purpose, we introduce, in each of the following chapters, relevant concepts from an author “belonging” to one of these three traditions and show how these concepts contribute to describing organizations as social experiments (in Part I of the book), to formulating principles for the design of functions and organization structures supporting meaningful survival (Part II), and to formulating principles for the design of organization structures enabling the rich sense of meaningful survival (Part III). Of course, the relevance of cybernetics, social systems theory and Aristotle’s ethics can only be understood in full, after they have been treated in more detail – but based on what we said above, it may already be possible to see why these theories have been chosen as conceptual background.

Download or read book Complex Organisations: A Model for Survival written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of projects were undertaken on the inter-relationship between career trajectories and decision-making in large organizations. The projects compared and contrasted the results from similar sized industrial and defense organizations. In following a number of individuals through to Director level, or the defense equivalent, it was noted that there was a complete change in the level of decision-making capability. The level dropped dramatically in many of the cases examined. As a consequence, the focus shifted from individuals to organizations since the problem was not personal but was related to the organization itself. A number of studies also were made of large high technology companies and the effect of a significant technology change on their survival. In one study, 5 out of 27 companies survived one change, with further depletion of their ranks with a second change. The conclusion reached from this and other studies is that the survival rate over the periods required for defense systems is on the order of 5 percent. This paper examines the reasons behind this survival rate, both for the survivors and the nonsurvivors, and develops a model based on the need to survive, changes in technology, and long-term obligations.

This book was released on 2021-08-27 with total page 1146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family-owned businesses account for many of the small and medium-sized enterprises that exist around the world in various industries. Due to their unique make up, these firms are often heavily influenced by family dynamics that must be reconciled by family and non-family workers alike in order to ensure the sustainability of the business. As smaller businesses competing against an increasingly globalized economy and more directly impacted by economic instability, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, these businesses must continue to improve their practices and processes in order to not only survive but thrive. The Research Anthology on Strategies for Maintaining Successful Family Firms discusses the strategies, sustainability, and human aspects of family firms in order to understand what sets them apart from other businesses and how they can survive and compete in a globalized economy. This book discusses the unique dynamic brought by family firms that offers both opportunities and challenges for a growing business. Covering topics such as corporate venturing, the family unit, and business ethics, this text is an essential resource for family firms, entrepreneurs, managers, business students, business professors, researchers, and academicians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who Matters at the World Bank explores "who matters" in a 32-year history (1980-2012) of policy change within the World Bank's public sector management and public sector governance agenda, and is anchored within the public administration discipline and its understanding of bureaucracy, bureaucratic politics, and stakeholder influences. In response to constructivist scholars' concerns about politics and the organizational culture of international civil servants within international organizations, Kim Moloney uses stakeholder theory and a bureaucratic politics approach to suggest the normality of politics, policy debate, and policy evolution. The book also highlights how for 21 of those 32 years it was not external stakeholders but the international civil servants of the World Bank who most influenced, led, developed, and institutionalized this sector's agenda. In so doing, the book explains how one sector of the Bank's work rose, against the odds, from being included in just under 3% of approved projects in 1980 to 73% of all projects approved between 1991 and 2012.
