Scholars of the theory of the firm have begun to emphasize the sources and conditions of what has been described as "the organizational advantage," rather than focus on the causes and consequences of market failure. Typically, researchers see such…

Sensemaking involves turning circumstances into a situation that is comprehended explicitly in words and that serves as a springboard into action. In this paper we take the position that the concept of sensemaking fills important gaps in…

The assignment of alternatives (observations/objects) into predefined homogenous groups is a problem of major practical and research interest. This type of problem is referred to as classification or sorting, depending on whether the groups are…

MACBETH (Measuring Attractiveness by a Categorical Based Evaluation Technique) is a multicriteria decision analysis approach that requires only qualitative judgements about differences of value to help an individual or a group quantify the relative…

Five assumptions commonly made by designers of management information systems are identified. It is argued that these are not justified in many (if not most) cases and hence lead to major deficiencies in the resulting systems. These assumptions are:…

Purpose This paper aims to present a discussion of the critical success factors (CSF) that affect the acquisition process for enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. Design/methodology/approach The research strategy was a multiple-case design…

This paper describes the process of inducting theory using case studies-from specifying the research questions to reaching closure. Some features of the process, such as problem definition and construct validation, are similar to hypothesis-testing…

Decisions involve many intangibles that need to be traded off. To do that, they have to be measured along side tangibles whose measurements must also be evaluated as to, how well, they serve the objectives of the decision maker. The Analytic…

The dynamic capabilities framework analyzes the sources and methods of wealth creation and capture by private enterprise firms operating in environments of rapid technological change. The competitive advantage of firms is seen as resting on…

Most so-called errors in probabilistic reasoning are in fact not violations of probability theory. Examples of such errors include overconfidence bias, conjunction fallacy, and base-rate neglect. Researchers have relied on a very narrow normative…

Skandia's approach to measuring intellectual capital is described. As neither human capital nor structural capital are represented in traditional accounting systems, Skandia developed its own method for capturing the true value potential of the…

Nonaka's paper 1994. A dynamic theory of organizational knowledge creation. Organ. Sci. 5(1) 14-37 contributed to the concepts of "tacit knowledge" and "knowledge conversion" in organization science. We present work that shaped the development of…

This paper focuses on dynamic capabilities and, more generally, the resource-based view of the firm. We argue that dynamic capabilities are a set of specific and identifiable processes such as product development, strategic decision making, and…

This article presents a literature review of the applications of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP is a multiple criteria decision-making tool that has been used in almost all the applications related with decision-making. Out of many different…

Graph pattern mining. In this chapter, we first examine the existing frequent subgraph mining algorithms and discuss their computational bottle- neck. Then we introduce recent studies on mining significant and representative subgraph patterns. These…

This paper proposes a novel algorithmic approach of image enhancement via optimal contrast-tone mapping. In a fundamental departure from the current practice of histogram equalization for contrast enhancement, the proposed approach maximizes…

Much current work on organizational knowledge, intellectual capital, knowledge-creating organizations, knowledge work, and the like rests on a single, traditional understanding of the nature of knowledge. This understanding is called the…

In this introductory piece, we take stock of the impact of Cyert and March's A Behavioral Theory of the Firm, describe current research trends in the behavioral tradition, and introduce the special issue's papers. A Behavioral Theory of the Firm is…
