Prospect Theory, Behavioral Theory, and the Threat-Rigidity Thesis: Combinative Effects on Organizational Decisions to Divest Formerly Acquired Units
结合前景理论、组织行为理论和威胁刚性论,考察个体和组织层面因素如何共同影响组织剥离或保留先前收购单元的决策,为理解组织风险寻求行为提供更丰富的视角。
By complementing prospect theory with organization-level behavioral theory and the threat-rigidity thesis, I study how factors unique to an organizational level can interact with the individual-level tendencies predicted by prospect theory. I tested this approach by examining organizational decisions to divest or retain formerly acquired units in a longitudinal setting. The results show that divestiture decisions are influenced by both individual- and organization-level factors that cannot be explained solely by one theory and provide a richer understanding of organizational risk-seeking behaviors.
