TL;DR: This paper examined how business-level strategy influences companies' emphasis on different innovation types (product, process, and administrative) and sources (incubative, imitative, and acquisitive) and found that different strategies are associated with distinct patterns of innovation types and sources.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the culture of two nuclear powered aircraft carriers meeting the criteria for high reliability organizations, using a questionnaire-cultural assessment with officer/expert interpretations and researcher observations of language manifestations of culture (e.g., stories, phrases), rites and ceremonials).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined project leadership behavior, championing, and effectiveness in 40 research and development (R&D) project groups and found that there is little association between project-level leadership or championing and project effectiveness, however, leadership exhibited at higher organizational levels is significantly correlated with effectiveness.

TL;DR: This article explored the relationship between the specific behaviors of technology champions and three cultural values: individualism/collectivism, power distance, and uncertainty avoidance/uncertainty acceptance, and found that the behaviors of champions who go about overcoming obstacles to technological innovation are culture-specific.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors integrate work from the catastrophe theory literature (Baack & Cullen, 1992; Herbig, 1991; and Oliva, 1991) and economics literature (Farrell & Saloner, 1985) that collectively look at various issues relating to the firm's adoption of a technology.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined industry performance and investment patterns in capital equipment and research and development for 42 industries and found that superior performance was associated with high levels of R&D investment in half the industries, but was unrelated to capital investment in these industries over the 20-year period studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of procedural justice is applied to guide research on electronic control systems, and propositions to guide the development of electronic control system systems are developed to evaluate the relationship among various monitoring techniques, employee reactions to such monitoring and outcomes such as employee satisfaction, organizational commitment, job performance and job stress.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the method by which firms set prices for integrated circuits and some of the assumptions used for price projections by manufacturers, and compare pricing practices of some major manufacturers.

TL;DR: This paper found that high technology firms which successfully reverse their decline are larger at the beginning of their turnaround effort than unsuccessful firms, and that successful turnaround firms pursue four operating actions: reducing the size of the firm; reducing capital expenditures; reducing the firm's level of working capital; and reducing the level of the company's receivables.

TL;DR: The present study was designed to identify specific management activities associated with successful implementation of Statistical Process Control (SPC), and evidence of the construct validity of the implementation-success criterion was provided.

TL;DR: Findings support contingency theory and suggest that, in the administrative core, changes in computer use and more centralized decision making predict increases in market share, while in the technical core, overall levels of these attributes predicted a growth in market shares.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a framework to test the effects of technological innovation on market structure and industry profitability and found that technological innovation can be a potent factor in determining the nature of the competitive environment.

TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical study covering all publicly-traded emerging biotech firms with annual sales less than $10M uses cluster analysis to identify strategic configurations defined by R&D aggressiveness and funding strategies that are unique to this industry.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study of 39 domestic, durable goods plants, justifications for purchase of new process technology varied from the simple, single-goal approach to the complex, multiple-objective strategy.

TL;DR: Results show that organizational integration is positively associated with both environmental uncertainty and the size of the organization and internal telecommunication use was found to be positively related to product information intensity and IS maturity.

TL;DR: Two versions of the strategic contingencies theory of intraorganizational power are relied on to determine how IS acquires power over user microcomputer resource acquisition decisions and suggest ways that IS can gain power overuser-controlled information technologies.
