Organizational cultures, and in particular stories, carry a claim to uniqueness - that an institution is unlike any other. This paper argues that a culture’s claim to uniqueness is, paradoxically, expressed through cultural manifestations, such…
Psychological and Sociological Barriers to Collective Action in Organizations
There are striking gaps in what is known about discontent in the workplace. Job and pay satisfaction are among the most frequently studied topics in organizational behavior, yet we know little about when discontent will be translated into…
A Process Model of Internal Corporate Venturing in the Diversified Major Firm
Examines how major firms utilize R&D activities to create new businesses through internal corporate venturing (ICV). Using a qualitative method, this analysis was done for one large, U.S.-based high-technology firm. This firm has a new…
Bioerodible polyanhydrides for controlled drug delivery
Initial in vitro and in vivo (rat) studies using a poly(anhydride), poly[bis(p-carboxyphenoxy)methane], as a bioerodible matrix for controlled drug delivery are described. Drug delivery matrices fabricated from this material and containing cholic…
Evaluating the Statistical Significance of Models Developed by Stepwise Regression
Information for evaluating the statistical significance of stepwise regression models developed with a forward selection procedure is presented. Cumulative distributions of the adjusted coefficient of determination (R²) under the null…
Individual adaptations and structural change as solutions to social dilemmas
80 undergraduates, in groups of 6, took “harvests” from a regenerating resource pool so as to maximize their harvests while maintaining the pool. False feedback was provided regarding the other Ss’ harvest sizes. One-third of the Ss thought…
The Statistical Significance of Stepwise Regression Models Developed by Forward Selection: A Monte Carlo Calibration
Information for evaluating the statistical significance of stepwise regression models developed with a forward selection procedure is presented. Cumulative distributions of the adjusted coefficient of determination (<tex-math>$\bar R^2$…

An Intertemporal Disequilibrium Model of the Income-Accelerator Process
This paper develops an intertemporal general equilibrium model with optimizing agents which is nearly observationally equivalent to Samuelsons (1939) empirically appealing income accelerator framework. Given the flexibility of general equilibrium…
Applying the Methodology of Grounded Theorizing in Strategic Management: A Summary of Recent Findings and Their Implications
The evolution of conceptualizations of substantive and formal aspects of the strategic process in large, complex organizations, based on the methodology of grounded theorizing, is summarized. Linkages with previous findings and major paradigms…
Bargaining With Incomplete Information: A Two-Period Model With Continuous Uncertainty
The resolution of any bargaining conflict depends crucially on the relative urgency of the agents to reach agreement, the information each agent has about the others’ preferences, and the agents’ ability to commit to particular bargaining…
Bargaining with Incomplete Information: An Infinite-Horizon Model with Continuous Uncertainty
The resolution of any bargaining conflict depends crucially on the relative urgency of the agents to reach agreement, the information each agent has about the others’ preferences, and the agents’ ability to commit to particular bargaining…

Delegated Expertise
We introduce an expert to the syndicate setting. An expert is, tautologically, one who acquires expertise. We define expertise in terms of private information that is too costly to communicate. When the costs of acquiring expertise are not…
Delegated Portfolio Management
A problem of screening agents with privately known forecasting abilities and reservation utilities and then eliciting truthful information from these agents once they are employed is considered. For the case of risk averse agents and large…
Diagnosing the Experience Curve
Few strategy concepts are more likely to give misleading insights than the experience curve. As a result there is considerable disenchantment with the simplistic market share prescriptions that marked the early applications. Nonetheless, the…
