Entropy and institutional theory
2022
PurposeOnce introduced and conceptualized as a factor that causes erosion and decay of social institutions and subsequent deinstitutionalization, the notion of entropy is at odds with predictions of institutional isomorphism and seems to directly contradict the tendency toward ever-increasing institutionalization. The purpose of this paper is to offer a resolution of this theoretical inconsistency by revisiting the meaning of entropy and reconceptualizing institutionalization from an information-theoretic point of view.Design/methodology/approachIt is a theoretical paper that offers an information perspective on institutionalization.FindingsA mistaken understanding of the nature and role of…
Setting the agenda for research on issue arenas
2014
Purpose– This paper seeks to contribute to the field of corporate communication by clarifying the theoretical basis of communication in issue arenas and proposing an agenda for research on issue arenas.Design/methodology/approach– Drawing on insights from stakeholder thinking, network theory, issues management, and agenda-setting theory, the authors identify different levels of analysis that could explain the behaviour of organisations in the public debate on current issues.Findings– The organisation-centred approach is replaced by a strong emphasis on interaction in networks of organisations, groups and individuals. Decision-making on communication strategies can be further developed by an…
Hyvä paha sosiaalinen media : organisaatioiden uhkat ja mahdollisuudet sosiaalisessa mediassa
2011
Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin sosiaalisen median ja organisaatioiden suhdetta viestinnän kontekstissa. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, millaisia uhkia ja mahdollisuuksia sosiaalinen media tarjoaa organisaatioille niin nyt kuin tulevaisuudessakin. Tutkimuksen teoreettisessa osassa organisaatioiden ja sosiaalisen median suhdetta mallinnettiin kaaosteorian ja Resource Dependence -teorian avulla. Teoriaosuuden avulla organisaatioiden viestintäympäristöjä sekä sosiaalisen median vaikutusta organisaatioiden toimintaan tarkasteltiin kaaosteorian käsitteiden avulla. Tutkimuksen empiirinen osuus toteutettiin laadullisena, osin tulevaisuutta kartoittavana tutkimuksena. Tutkimusmenetelminä…
Change, Resistance to Change and Organizational Cynicism
2016
Abstract Over the past decades, the focus of the scientists has shifted towards the area of organizational change. The concept has been approached from several perspectives and studied by numerous disciplines and refers to a shift or transformation of an organization, of several components of the organization or of the processes that lie within. Being in an environment characterized by competitiveness and complexity, organizations are under a constant need of change, of progress, while the aim of each change is to improve the aspects that make this happen. The dynamics of the labour force market has contributed to the creation of an environment in which organizations are permanently facing …
Context as a Provider of Key Resources for Succession: A Case Study of Sustainable Family Firms
2019
[EN] Although succession is the single most important issue in family-owned businesses (FOBs), there is scarce comprehensive and integrative analysis of the context (i.e., the social, organizational, and normative setting) where succession events occur. Research usually focuses on the success or failure of succession processes, instead of the risks faced by FOBs during succession. The succession process takes time and multiple actors are involved. Therefore, succession is influenced by uncertainty and unforeseen events. This study addresses the aforementioned gap in the literature by investigating how context can reduce the risk of failure in succession. Based on organizational change theor…
How Organizational Resources and Managerial Features Affect Business Performance: An Analysis in the Greek Wine Industry
2023
Despite the growing interest of the wine industry in quality and environmental certifications and the influence of these standards on positioning in international markets, scholarly research has paid proportionally limited attention to the link between winery export intensity and the adoption of internationally recognized standards. This study aims to analyze which factors make an organizational model performant, and to verify the impact of the adoption of third-party certifications on the export performance by using the resource-based view (RBV) theory as a theoretical lens. Findings show that younger wineries are more oriented towards the adoption of voluntary quality and environmental ce…
Aspects Regarding Human Resources Management Streamlining within National and International Organizations
2014
Abstract The entire world is changing in order to achieve performance as an essential element designed to meet the needs and interests of individuals, organizations and society, as a whole. For that, it is necessary to efficiently know and use all the resources and possibilities possessed by the organization, among which human resources Management streamlining acquires new dimensions and special significances. Therefore, approaching certain theoretical aspects regarding the necessity and content of human resources Management streamlining within national and international organizations, as well as psychosocial valences in this field represent important social and objective matters, which are…
“At least we have something to discuss over lunch…” The implications for knowledge management when implementing a new library system. A Norwegian exp…
2017
This article investigates how staff and management in Norwegian academic libraries have experienced the implementation of the new library management system Alma. As a new library management system is introduced, the need for learning on demand emerges. An anonymous survey was sent to all academic libraries in Norway, resulting in a total of 626 responses. This article presents the findings from this survey and provides some reflections on how a firm grip on knowledge management could have helped make such a transition easier.
Direct P-functionalization of azobenzene by a cationic phosphidozirconocene complex.
2016
International audience; We report that the cationic phosphidozirconocene complex [(eta(5)-C5H5)(2)Zr(PCy2)][CH3B(C6F5)(3)] (II) reacts with azobenzene, resulting in the expedient formation of Zr complex (2) bound to a tridentate PNN ligand. This reaction proceeds by a mechanism of cooperative nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen. The intermediate sigma(H) adduct (1) has been characterized by NMR spectroscopy.
