Loose Coupling
Relationships that are not well‐specified or frequently monitored, but nevertheless persist, simultaneously characterized by responsiveness and autonomy, are “loosely coupled.” Loose coupling is a metaphoric description of association (and can be applied to links between or among individuals, units, hierarchical levels, organization and environment, intention and action, IT systems, plans and action, and cause and effect among others) rather than…
Intellectual Property Strategy at the Firm Level
Intellectual Property is a knowledge‐based creation whose ownership is formally recognized by a nation or international legal system. Patents and copyrights assert the holder's right to exploit the creation. Firms' IP holdings, and their approaches to managing those holdings are critical strategic considerations.
Management, Classical Theory
Early efforts to formalize principles to guide a growing class of professional managers at the end of the nineteenth century are termed classical management theory. Classical theory sought rationality and order in work through what they called “the one best way,” the most logical division of labor, appropriate structure to relate the activities thus divided (in terms of the variety of activities and the levels of supervision), the correct span of…
Organizing for Innovation
This article summarizes the history of efforts to organize innovation. Organizing for innovation is an apparent oxymoron: “organizing” suggests continuity and reliability, while “innovation” emphasizes change. Efforts to address this dichotomy have drawn on different tools over time, initially beginning with structure, then moving to systems – especially systems for information sharing and authority – and most recently to teams. Contemporary inno…
Toward Systematic Management: Alexander Hamilton Church
Dominated as it is by the powerful personality of Frederick W. Taylor, the history of scientific management thought has neglected important figures like Alexander Hamilton Church. Professor Jelinek shows that whereas Taylor's contribution was to move thinking down one “level of abstraction” to concrete shop operations, Church moved it up one level to construct a pattern of observations useful for management planning and evaluation
