Organization-Community Embeddedness: The Social Impact of Enterprise Restructuring in the Post-Communist Czech Republic
研究了后共产主义捷克共和国企业重组对当地社区的不同影响，发现企业-社区关系的嵌入程度是关键因素，基于对三家大型前国有企业的调查。
The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of the enterprise restructuring process, which has typified the experience of post-communist industry, on local communities. It is argued that restructuring has had differential impacts on communities, and one key factor in making this judgment is the nature of the enterprise-community relationship inherited from the former state socialist regime. Conceptually, this relationship can be understood in terms of the social and institutional embeddedness of the enterprise in its local community. The paper draws upon research into three large former state enterprises in the now Czech Republic in order to examine the effects of different degrees of embeddedness on the impact of restructuring decisions to reduce enterprise overstaffing, and to unburden the enterprise of its social and welfare assets and activities.
