Organizational Learning
This paper differs from previous examinations of organizational learning in that it is broader in scope and more evaluative of the literatures. Four constructs related to organizational learning (knowledge acquisition, information distribution, information interpretation, and organizational memory) are articulated, and the literatures related to each are described and critiqued. The literature on knowledge acquisition is voluminous and multi-face…
Retrospective reports of strategic‐level managers
Strategic management studies frequently involve obtaining retrospective data from strategic‐level managers. The use of this data acquisition methodology has received relatively little codification and little critical review or comment. This seems unfortunate, as discussion and codification of the methodology could be useful for those academic researchers and corporate staff who study strategic decisions and organizational processes and for those …
The People Side of Systems
Elite Structure and Attitudes
The decision to adopt innovative proposals is typically made by the organizational elite. A review of the literature suggests three categories of independent variables related to the adoption behavior of elites: innovation proneness, adoption potential, and problem severity. Innovation proneness refers to the degree to which various characteristics of the elite facilitate the acceptance of change-size, differentiation, integration, formalization,…
Operationalizing the Concepts of Goals and Goal Incompatibilities in Organizational Behavior Research
This paper demonstrates the theoretical relevance and validity of using utility models and scaling techniques as an approach to operationalizing the concepts of goals and goal incompatibilities. The approach was used, with empirical data from municipal government officials in 380 cities, to test the propositions that (1) structural differentiation in organizations is associated with goal incompatibilities, and (2) goal incompatibilities are corre…

Reasons for the need to improve the labor market information system; Relationship between unemployment and inflation; Details on the proposed memorandum related to the extension of Utah-type systems into a nationwide network. (Abstract copyright EBSCO.)
A study of subjective evaluation models
The research reported explores some questions which arise when staff groups, such as operations research groups, are faced with obtaining a quantitative representation of an individual's or an organization's evaluation scheme. The study is concerned with the ability of professional hospital personnel to develop and use a subjective evaluation model in a reliable manner, the possible forms of such a model, and the extent to which the models used b…
