Industrial Organization and Organizational Ecology: The Potentials for Cross-fertilization
探讨组织生态学与产业组织及战略管理交叉融合的潜力，通过德国和美国酿酒业及荷兰审计业的长期发展案例，说明这种融合能丰富对组织种群长期演化的研究。
The population of organization studies that has become known under such names as population ecology and organizational ecology (OE), is entering the stage of maturity. It is argued here that this branch of organization studies can increase the carrying capacity of its niche by seeking cross-fertilization with the century-old field of industrial organization and the economically inspired sub-field of strategic management. Doing so would enrich the study of the long-run evolution of organizational populations by adding a focus on differ ences between and within industries to OE's emphasis on universal similarities. The argument is illustrated by investigating the long-run development of the German and U.S. brewing industries on the one hand and the Dutch audit industry on the other.
