Effectuating Person-Organization Fit : Effectuation in Organizations

2015

Industrial policies of innovation concentrate on funding or encouraging promising innovations entailing growth or that have possibilities of internationalization. However, concrete innovation process happens in and between individuals. Effectuation is a logic that is emergent and iterative in nature. It develops through enactment and trial-and-error processes that follow deep expertise, contextual experience and abilities to leverage contingencies. Harnessing individuals to challenge their working environment to function better may improve both work well-being and organization performance. The integration of person-organization fit and effectuation suggest that paying attention to effectuat…

The Dynamics of (De)Stigmatization : Boundary construction in the nascent category of organic farming

2020

This study finds that it is possible for organizations in emerging categories to resist stigmatization through discursive reconstruction of the central and distinctive characteristics of the category in question. We examined the emerging market of organic farming in Finland and discovered how resistance to stigmatization was both an internal and an external power struggle in the organic farming community. Over time, the label of organic farming was manipulated and the practice of farming was associated with more conventional and familiar contexts, while the stigma was diverted at the same time to biodynamic farming. We develop a process model for removal of stigma from a nascent category t…

Corporate entrepreneurship and human resource management: theoretical background and a case study

2011

Purpose: This article aims to review varying concepts of entrepreneurship and different contributions to human resource practices, establishing a theoretical framework that allows for the analysis of the firm Montalt-Valencia (Spain), a Ford-Spain car dealer, and leader in its sector. Design/methodology/approach: The paper, according to the literature, establishes a theoretical framework on entrepreneurship and human resource management through which one can observe and research the Montalt-Valencia case study. The case study is confirmatory, from the theoretical background, and at the same time inductive from the observation of its non-expected details and deeds. Findings: The firm Montalt…

Different innovation policies for different types of innovative companies? Social implications

2016

The literature on innovation and entrepreneurship policy has yet to deepen its analysis of Young Innovative Companies (YICs). To fill this gap in the literature, the aim of this study was to provide empirical evidence of the special features of YICs versus the full scope of innovative firms, within the context of innovation policy and social entrepreneurship. We carried out an initial diagnosis of the features that enable access to public innovation programs in the field of innovative companies. This study of innovative firms was then contrasted with analysis of samples comprising YICs. The results of this comparison show that YICs access innovation policies by virtue of their status as inn…

Time and strategy: towards a multitemporal view of the firm

2004

This paper takes into consideration the main views underlying the theory of the resource based firm within strategy studies, underscoring their fundamental monotemporal nature and proposing a way to elaborate a multi‐temporal view of the firm. By analyzing the link between the time concepts used as bases for the formulation of studies within the strategy field and the types of actor behavior implicitly (or explicitly) entailed by such time concepts, the paper shows the inadequacy of any one of the two monotemporal views of the resource‐based firm to encompass all of the main actor behaviors on which the firm's survival and success increasingly rests. The paper draws on the Austrian process …

Innovación y crecimiento económico: Factores que estimulan la innovación

En este sentido, se muestra la relación que existe entre innovaciones y crecimiento económico, como objetivo esencial actual de la política económica para reducir el desempleo y aumentar el bienestar social. Para llevar a cabo este análisis nos basamos en el modelo de Schumpeter, en el que el empresario-emprendedor y el clima social desempeñan un papel relevante en el proceso. El análisis empírico estima una ecuación de innovaciones para el caso de 11 países desarrollados, mostrando que el clima social, representado por la formación y la distribución de la renta, y la política m…
