Misery Loves Company: The Spread of Negative Impacts Resulting from an Organizational Crisis
探讨组织危机如何从一家企业溢出并影响同行业其他企业,分析这一过程如何受组织形式、同行特征和行业特征的影响,并推测长期可能推动危机频发行业的结构优化。
We describe how negative impacts emanating from an organizational crisis that initially strikes only one organization can overflow the boundaries of that organization and affect others in the industry. We argue that this spillover process is contingent on the characteristics of the organizational form to which the stricken organization belongs, the characteristics of other organizations in the same industry, and the characteristics of the industry itself. Finally, we speculate that the spillover process, coupled with differential mortality, might move crisis-prone industries toward more robust structures over time.
