Horse Races, Governance and the Chance to Fight: On the Formation of Organizational Agendas
研究一家制造企业组织议程上议题的形成模式，发现议题形成方式差异显著，并构建分析框架考察新兴模糊议题，强调集体自由感知、议题标签和共识感知对议题凸显和建设性解决的影响。
We consider the formation of issues on the organizational agenda of a manufacturing firm. We find that the patterns of issue formation vary markedly and we develop an analytic framework to examine a number of emerging, potentially ambiguous issues. We emphasize the importance to the organization of perceptions of collective freedom to construct an issue, the role of issue labelling and perceptions of emerging consensus over the construction of an issue. Jointly, these considerations affect whether an issue gains salience on the agenda and whether it is resolved constructively.
