Images of strategy

- Images underlying strategy tend to be simplistic, unimodal, visual abstractions. We suggest that multimodal imagery of strategy, which brings together verbal/narrative, visual/imagistic, and kinaesthetic/haptic nodes, can significantly enrich people's understanding of their organization and its strategy. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.

- This article explores how the link between the hand and the mind might be exploited in the making of strategy. Using Mintzberg's image of a potter undergoing iterative and recursive learning and knowledge-building processes as a point of departure, the authors develop a three-level theoretical schema, progressing from the physiological to the psychological to the social to trace the consequences of the hand-mind link. To illustrate their theoretical schema, the authors present an illustration case of managers from a large telecommunications firm experimenting with a process for strategy making in which they actively use their hands to construct representations of their organization and its environment. The authors conclude that new and potent forms of strategy making might be attained if the fundamental human experience of using one's hands is put in the service of all kinds of organizational learning. © 2005 Sage Publications.

The cooperative venture formation process - A latent variable structural modeling approach
- 1990
-
Ingår i: Management science. - : Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS). - 0025-1909 .- 1526-5501. ; 36:10, s. 1246-1255

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Management process issues for forming cooperative ventures with an increased likelihood of subsequent success are addressed. The cooperative venture formation is based on Roos (1989) and is conceptualized in terms of 3 theoretical constructs: 1. the extent of sufficient internal push for the project, 2. the breadth and depth of analytical scope, and 3. the strength of key stakeholder support. These constructs are related to subsequent perceived performance. Data from 67 firms in Norway and Sweden were collected and analyzed via latent variable structural modeling a partial least square (PLS). The main managerial implication is that the process by which a cooperative venture is formed should largely be seen as a step-by-step approach, not as a discrete decision. The research demonstrates that a theoretically complex and seemingly impenetrable phenomenon can be explained by reducing it to a simple model of theoretical constructs.

Corporate divestiture and the phantom limb effect
- 1994
-
Ingår i: European Management Journal. - : Elsevier BV. - 0263-2373 .- 1873-5681. ; 12:2, s. 171-178
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Although corporate restructuring is a much-researched area in management literature, divestitures have not been discussed from the perspective of their negative effect on knowledge transfer and corporate performance. Georg von Krogh and Johan Roos examine this phenomenon in relation to the competence configuration of the firm, and suggest means by which corporate management can overcome these potentially negative outcomes. © 1994.

Be coherent, not visionary

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Many executives feel the need to articulate an ideal end-state for their organizations-often in the guise of a corporate vision. Striking the balance between novelty and believability of such an ideal end-state is often tricky, and empirical evidence shows that people are neither satisfied with the vision, nor the visioning process. This article argues that the very idea of having a corporate vision is of limited use in today's complex business landscapes. When you perceive your world as unstable and unpredictable what matters is being coherent rather than being visionary. Being coherent means acting in a manner that reinforces who you are, as an organization, given the current environment. It is such coherence that "makes sense" to us and to the others around us. The authors point out why executives need to replace visioning efforts with a focus on how to become and remain coherent throughout the organization. They also offer a few guiding principles on how to do this in practice. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Building successful strategic alliances

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Thinking of strategic alliance as a parental relationship is not a new idea, but it works. Two firms come together to give birth to an idea, a product, another firm, or research that embodies the best characteristics of each parent. And, just as in human parental relationships, the firms have varying levels of responsibilities toward their 'child'. The paper evaluates the decisions that have to be made to build successful strategic alliances.

Collective virtuosity in organizations : A study of peak performance in an orchestra
- 2007

- The purpose of this paper is to build theory on peak performance at the group level. Peak performance transcends ordinary performance and is associated with a subjective experience in which one loses a sense of time and space as well as feels great joy and bliss. We chose to study this phenomenon at the group level through a methodology of participant observation in an orchestra. We found that groups can be transformed by their own performance in a reflexive process in which virtuosity, or individual peak performance, becomes collective. We offer a prepositional model of collective virtuosity in organizations, and offer directions for further research. © Blackwell Publishing Ltd 2007.
