TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present preliminary data on the pattern of interlocking directorates among the top 200 largest corporations in pre-1997 Hong Kong, and suggest propositions based on the resource dependence perspective on the critical relationships among their interlocking directorsates, firm strategies, and performance.
Abstract: Filling a gap in the interlocks literature which has been largely centered on the West, we present preliminary data on the pattern of interlocking directorates among the top 200 largest corporations in pre-1997 Hong Kong. Then we identify four separate groups of firms in Hong Kong, and suggest propositions based on the resource dependence perspective on the critical relationships among their interlocking directorates, firm strategies, and performance. These propositions have the potential to form the building block of an emerging research agenda that will shed light on the role of interlocking directorates in an increasingly important part of the world.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply information processing and resource dependence perspectives and develop and test a model that express the conduct of different responses to supply chain disruptions, and use questioner and observation in data collection.
Abstract: How, why and under what circumstances, firm respond to supply chain disruptions? These are the questions, which firms all over the world are rapidly exposed to interruptions that delay their supply chain relationships and related operations. This study applies information processing and resource dependence perspectives and to develop and test a model that express the conduct of the different responses. We use questioner and observation in data collection .Samples are selected from two firms. Data is collected from 50 respondents. Hypotheses 2,4 and 5 are accepted in research. Descriptive statistics is applied in data analysis. Strong coordination in relationship of supply chain increase the profitability and market share, decrease inventory handling costs and make competitively strong. Poor coordination could affect performance of partners in chain of supplies. Supply chain disruption orientation leads towards motivation to act in order to attain stability motive.

TL;DR: In this article, the emergence of nonprofit self-regulation in long-established and emergent nonprofit sectors in Europe is explored, and the authors apply agency, resource dependence, and institutional theories to specific national cases.
Abstract: This article explores the emergence of nonprofit self-regulation in long-established and emergent nonprofit sectors in Europe. An application of agency, resource dependence, and institutional theories to specific national cases reveals three predominant self-regulation types, compliance, adaptive, and professional models, conditioned on varied market, political, and social antecedents. The compliance system predominates in the Western European cases (Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Austria), where the nonprofit sector is long established and public regulation of the sector is weak. The adaptive model is evidenced in the United Kingdom, where the nonprofit sector is well established but self-regulation design shifts in response to changes in public regulation and the resource environment. The professional self-regulation type occurs when the nonprofit sector and its legal system both are emergent, as in Poland, with self-regulation emerging to shape philanthropic, civil society, and nonprofit pr...

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model of organizational evolution is proposed to explain the main patterns of lifespan dependence and reconcile the apparently conflicting theoretical explanations about the relation between organizational lifespan and failure.
Abstract: Empirical evidence about the relation between organizational
age and failure is mixed, and theoretical explanations
are conflicting. We show that a simple model of
organizational evolution can explain the main patterns of
age dependence and reconcile the apparently conflicting
theoretical predictions. In our framework, the predicted
pattern of age dependence depends crucially on the
quality of organizational performance immediately after
founding and its subsequent evolution, which in turn
depends on the intensity of competition. In developing
our theory, we clarify issues of levels of analysis as well
as the relations between organizational fitness, endowment,
organizational capital, and the hazard of failure. We
show that once organizational learning is considered,
founding conditions affect the fate of organizations in
ways more complex than previously acknowledged. We
illustrate how the predictions of our theory can be tested
empirically and evaluate the effect of aging on the mortality
hazards of American microbreweries and brewpubs by
estimating the parameters of a random walk with timevarying
drift. We also make some conjectures about
expected patterns in other empirical settings.
