Firm, industry, and strategy influences on choice of downsizing approach
研究区分了不同资源削减方式，并基于退出与流动壁垒理论，分析企业、行业和战略因素如何影响裁员方式的选择，发现企业资源特性及二手市场对不同类型企业的影响不同。
This study represents a step toward a more sophisticated and grounded understanding of downsizing. The author sharpens the concept of downsizing by identifying and distinguishing among different resource-reduction approaches. Then, drawing upon exit and mobility barrier theory, firm, industry, and strategy influences on choice of downsizing approach are examined. Findings suggest that characteristics of a firm's resources and the resale market for those resources differentially influence broad and focus firms' choice of downsizing approach. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
