“Strategic Management, 3e”

This book is being updated under a grant from the OERU of Oregon State.

This open source textbook is derived from many sources, initially (1st edition) from the Principles of Management by Carpenter, Bauer, and Erdogan, but there is abundant new content as well. It is published under a Creative Commons license and as such there is no charge ever for this textbook.

In addition to taking on a second author, the most important change from 2e is that three tenured faculty have signed on to consider, review, and approve the content. This edition will have a more global perspective and make a tighter linkage with the Micromatic simulation software as well as provide mini-case studies for classroom discussions.

“The coevolution of new organizational forms”

This paper outlines an alternative theory of organization-environment coevolution that generalizes a model of organization adaptation first proposed by March (1991), linking firm-level exploration and exploitation adaptations to changes in the population of organizations. The theory considers organizations, their populations, and their environments as the interdependent outcome of managerial actions, institutional influences, and extra-institutional changes (technological, sociopolitical, and other environmental phenomena). In particular, the theory incorporates potential differences and equifinal outcomes related to country-specific variation. The basic theses of this paper are that firm strategic and organization adaptations coevolve with changes in the environment (competitive dynamics, technological, and institutional) and organization population and forms, and that new organizational forms can mutate and emerge from the existing population of organizations. The theory has guided a multicountry research collaboration on strategic and organization adaptations and the mutation and emergence of new organizational forms from within the existing population of organizations.

“The Impact of Anticipated Social Consequences on Recurring Disability Accommodation Requests”

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) has not achieved its potential, in part, because those it sought to help have shown a reluctance to request accommodations. Using survey data from 229 hearing-impaired employees and an expert panel, logistic regression confirmed that monetary costs and impositions on others negatively influence the likelihood of requesting recurring accommodations. Furthermore, monetary costs and impositions on others negatively influence the requester's assessments of the social consequences of making such requests. These consequences, in turn, can also negatively influence future disability accommodation requests.

“The impact of family structure on issue selling by successor generation members in family firms”

Input from members of the successor generation to the incumbent leader of the business is important to
family firms that desire to grow into multi-generational entities. Although researchers have examined
upward influence behavior in general, there is a dearth of studies discussing this phenomenon as it
relates to family firms. In this paper, we seek to fill this gap by focusing on issue selling behavior—one of
the fundamental ways the successor generation pursues upward influence. Issue selling is defined as a
discretionary behavior used to direct top managers’ attention toward important issues. Specifically, by
integrating the extant issue selling literature with research on the impact of family structure on family
decision-making, we help explain the strength of successor generation members’ intentions to sell issues
and their choice of selling strategies.
