Micromoment Management
Eine Theorie des Managements von Mikromomenten sollte aus Einsichten über die Art und Weise, wie Status gewonnen und verloren wird, abgeleitet werden. Statuswechsel können auftreten, wenn Handlungen zu Reaktionen führen, die in komplementäre Rollen passen. Es wird ein allgemeines Prinzip formuliert, das dem Reagierenden den strategischen Vorteil zuerkennt. Daraus können nützliche Empfehlungen für den Handelnden abgeleitet werden, es mithilfe von …

Perverse Effects of Social Support
Random samples have been used to link social support to a diversity of positive outcomes. When viewed within an interaction system, however, social support appears within a context of contention and disserves some while serving others. The manner in which social support is generated can both induce and suppress outcome inequalities. This is shown in the effects of fan support on team performance in major league sports. For the sports most depende…
Endogenizing Context
Market opportunities constrain the organization of market participants, which in turn constrain dealmaking patterns. Instead of making contexts overly determinative, however, this paper sets out to endogenize contexts. Using player deals among owners in Major League Baseball from 1901 to 1987, the paper traces the mutually reinforcing relations between the opportunity shift from local to national publics, the organizational erosion of large city …

Enacting networks
Network analysis has ignored the process of network enactment. Yet there are many fairness norms, such as reciprocity, that are oriented toward the timing of encounters as much as toward their structure. The difficulties involved in enacting a network within the bounds of such fairness norms can constrain what kinds of network structures are sustainable. In this paper, these difficulties are assessed across networks varying in size, density and d…
Inequality among Equals
In league sports, the regulatory authority of leagues is thought to counter market pressures that would otherwise concentrate player talent in SMSAs with the largest market potential. The presumed opposition between authority and markets is not supported by league histories in the four major team sports. These histories show that, contrary to expectations, market potential has the greatest influence on winning when league authority is formally st…

Interaction Preludes to Role Setting
In most settings, roles are givens and role behavior is a salient ideal for retaining status. Yet in settings that admit only like actors, coveted roles often can only be acquired through interaction. During the interaction prelude to role setting, claiming a coveted role through unilateral role behavior is strategically vulnerable. A distinct action ideal, called local action, is needed to avoid role claims until there is evidence a claimed role…

Markets as Mechanisms
The producer side of markets has been viewed as either a decision arena or a stable structure of distinct roles. Harrison White has, however, proposed a model of markets where decision and structure depend on each other for their content and form. I show how White's model creates an image of markets as mechanisms—built from distinctive role behavior and giving guidance to the production decisions that underlie distinct roles. I offer a user's gui…

Competing Models of Political Mobilization
Two models of political mobilization are examined. The developmental model stresses class-based dynamics and does not take the group formation behind mobilization to be problematic. The reactive ethnicity model concurs with the developmental model on the importance of class-based dynamics but contends that ethnic ties serve as facilitating conditions for mobilization in a cultural division of labor. A crucial test, one that differs from past effo…
