Beyond Collective Entities: Multilevel Research on Organizational Routines and Capabilities
通过将组织惯例和能力分解为不同分析层次的组成部分并映射其相互关系，展示了如何产生更复杂的理解，并有助于弥合管理中的微观-宏观鸿沟。
Organizational routines and capabilities are thorny constructs, but their complexity has been largely underappreciated. In this article, the authors illustrate how new and more complex understandings of organizational routines and capabilities can be generated. They do so by breaking them into parts and mapping their interrelationships. Because component parts of routines and capabilities exist at different levels of analysis, the proposal to investigate their multiple relationships contributes to bridging the micro—macro divide in management. Specifically, the authors show how new analytical and methodological techniques can catalyze future research.
