Firm Selection: An Integrative Perspective
强调企业面临的选择压力强度是变化的，忽视这一点会导致对企业成败的判断不完整。基于种群生态学、演化经济学和动态资源基础观，提出了七条研究命题，指出管理者可策略性地利用选择决定因素来规避或转移压力。
This paper highlights the variable intensity of selection pressure on firms. Failing to include a theory of selection pressure in assessing a firm's performance can lead to ambiguous or incomplete judgements on the rationales of the firm's success. Building on previous threads of literature (population ecology, evolutionary economics, and the dynamic resource-based view of the firn), this paper paves the way for a unified theory of selection through seven research propositions. Emphasis is placed on the fact that managers can use the determinants of selection strategically, either to avoid the direct pressure of selection or to pass it on competitors.
