The Effects of Slack Resources and Environmentalthreat on Product Exploration and Exploitation
研究以美国非营利剧院为样本，发现冗余资源与环境威胁评估共同影响产品探索与利用，资源类型和威胁感知程度导致不同策略选择。
In a U.S. sample of nonprofit professional theaters, we examine how slack resources interact with environmental threat appraisal to influence product exploration and exploitation. We find systematic variation depending on the extent to which a resource is rare and absorbed in operations, and the extent of perceived environmental threats. Absorbed, generic resources are associated with increased exploitation and decreased exploration. Unabsorbed resources, both generic and rare, result in higher exploration and lower exploitation, but only when perceived environmental threat is high. Overall, results reveal pragmatic decision making balancing the benefits of superior strategic position against the risks of jeopardizing viability.
