人力资本,公司间流动and Organizational Evolution

The late Johannes M. Pennings, formerly Marie and Joseph Melone Professor of Management, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, US and Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, University of Tilburg, The Netherlands and Filippo Carlo Wezel, Professor of Organization Theory, Faculty of Communication Sciences, University of Lugano, Switzerland

The authors of this fascinating and original work contend that by analysing the conduct of organization members, a great deal can be learnt about firm behaviour and about the cooperative and competitive forces that underlie industry evolution.

‘A pioneering and innovative analysis of how the social organization of talent and the mobility of talent shape entrepreneurial activity, the spread of organizational innovations, the incidence of mergers and acquisitions and the demise of organizations. A must read for students of organizations, strategy and human resource management.’
– Hayagreeva Rao, Stanford University, US

‘In this book, Pennings and Wezel address a neglected topic in organizational theory: the links between individual behaviors and organizational outcomes. Their study. . . demonstrates how individual careers affect organizational founding, competitiveness, and survival, and provides rich insights on the role of human capital in professional partnerships. It offers a new perspective backed by solid reasoning and evidence.’
