廠商在策略群組間移動之研究--以台灣地區人壽保險業為例張馥芳, Fu-Fang Chang Unknown Date (has links)
本研究運用組織調適理論與資源基礎的觀點,探討影響臺灣地區人壽保險公司在策略群組間移動的因素,期望對於策略群組的理論有所貢獻。
策略群組歸屬的變化與穩定分析為本研究理論上最重要之特色,為建構本研究所主張之群組歸屬之變化與穩定程度並提出相關假設,除透過文獻研究外,且經由實務個案之觀察與訪談,將二者之推論加以綜合以形成研究假設。
為驗證假說與推論,本研究選取人壽保險公司在過去四十年間的策略變化作為策略群組歸屬與穩定程度的實證對象,共收集到90份樣本,作為進行相關統計分析推論之依據。由於此產業在台灣的歷史悠久,且在此期間有分階段的市場開放,可以完整切割產業期間,適合本研究之進行。根據實證結果發現,本研究所提出的三個主假設中,資源與組織壓力獲得支持,組織慣性未獲支持。
由於本研究對影響策略群組穩定程度的分析涵蓋資源基礎組織調適理論與組織慣性理論,因此欲瞭解不同理論構念對於策略群組的穩定程度的解釋能力如何,本研究進一步彙整比較不同模型的McFadden R2。
研究結果顯示,整體而言,除了組織慣性之外,其餘不論是由資源基礎或組織調適理論之觀點對策略群組穩定程度之解釋力皆具有相當之水準,表示此兩種理論於探討影響策略群組的穩定程度之因素有同等之重要性。這項結果亦說明傳統上由資源基礎的觀點解釋群組的穩定,學者傾向於觀察公司所具有的「資源」,其實應與「組織壓力」相互呼應。
關鍵字:人壽保險業、資源基礎觀點、組織調適、組織壓力、組織慣性、策略群組之歸屬、策略群組之穩定程度

組織慣性與管理變革探討:以ERP導入為例 / A Case Study on the Organizational Inertia and Transformation鄭永洸 Unknown Date (has links)
組織慣性通常是組織對外在變化的適應與變革的阻礙。特別是在目前外在商業環境變化劇烈的時代,如何有效化解組織慣性以適應現況,變成一個重要的策略與管理課題;而企業資源規劃(ERP)的導入過程中,由於對組織的流程反思與再造,對企業會產生管理變革。本研究透過Godkin與Allcorn (2008) 以組織學習的觀點所發展的三構面組織慣性(思想、行動、心理)與化解方式模型,對於海峽兩岸的九個企業個案在導入ERP過程中所發生過管理變革的抗拒與化解的手法,辨識出其在管理模型中的組織慣性與化解的類型。在個案的研討之下發現,思想慣性是發生最普遍的一種組織慣性,心理慣性則發生在較為成立較久、地處偏僻或管理方式特殊的企業,行動慣性則較易發生在具科技背景的公司。而化解的手法中,思想慣性的反映實踐因為與ERP的導入方式相近因此較為常見,而雙回路學習則是要將管理變革的影響範圍擴大到高層。化解行動慣性的跨功能小組以及系統性問題解法與前提控制會同時採用,且需要高階主管的強勢領導。領導/組織容忍與過渡空間與時間是化解心理慣性的主要方式,也都有個案使用,但都需要考量組織所處的環境與成員特性來進行,以符合實際環境的狀況與需求。

策略聯盟所引發的組織改變:組織慣性之化解 / Organizational change through strategic alliances: overcoming organizational inertia虞邦祥, Yu, Pang Hsiang Unknown Date (has links)
策略聯盟在管理理論與實務上都是重要且常被提及的議題,但因組織進入策略聯盟後績效提升的成果不一致,以致廣受學者與經理人之質疑與討論。近期研究顯示,策略聯盟是否能提升績效與組織學習或改變有關。本研究以組織慣性觀點檢視在策略聯盟過程中組織慣性之所在、展現與成因,以及透過策略聯盟如何化解組織慣性,達成焦點組織跟隨策略意圖而來的組織改變。
Hannan與Freeman(1984)據組織生態學提出的組織慣性觀點認為,組織為使利害關係人持續投入資源,須達到當責性(accountability)與穩定性(reliability)的要求,如此將令組織在重複產出下產生慣性(inertia)。組織慣性具有效率、低成本及自動化等功能以因應穩定的環境,但當環境變遷時,組織慣性則將成為組織因應環境的絆腳石與組織改變的障礙。據此,本研究目的有二:一、希望透過聯盟雙造(多方)受訪者的觀點,探討焦點組織的組織慣性所在與展現。二、如何透過組織間的策略聯盟化解焦點組織的組織慣性,達成焦點組織策略改變之目的,找出策略聯盟成員廠商與領導廠商的條件及化解組織慣性的機制。
組織慣性引自物理學的慣性概念,本研究利用跨領域理論之借用,嘗試與當前的聯盟研究對話,透過質性紮根的研究方式,訪談紡織產業中參與策略聯盟之廠商,以變革事件為分析單位,探索廠商參與策略聯盟過程中出現的組織慣性及其化解方式,並就本研究之發現與相關組織理論對話。
本研究核心問題為:一、組織慣性成因;二、組織慣性之化解;三、策略聯盟如何化解組織慣性。理論貢獻包括:一、提出組織內各單位、各層級無法同步改變是組織慣性之成因。二、若可使組織內部達成同步改變,則可化解組織慣性;透過認知、誘因、資源與能力的互補提升等三種機制可影響各個個體的決策與行動。三、策略聯盟可透過對象的選擇,以鏡像脈絡與聯盟倡導人途徑造成焦點組織同步改變,化解其組織慣性。實務意涵為提供具有組織慣性的組織改變的可行途徑,以及策略聯盟夥伴的選取與聯盟化解組織慣性之機制。 / Strategic alliances are a popular practical strategy in the management field and represent an important area of academic research. The outcomes of organizations that have joined strategic alliances have been inconsistent, however, so strategic alliance is still a black box for management scholars and managers. Recent studies have shown that the performance of strategic alliances is related to the process of organizational learning or changes in the focal organizations. This research is based on the organizational inertia perspective, which analyzes the organizational inertia of a focal organization in the process of strategic alliance through the Management Matrix (Seetoo, 2005). This matrix shows the locations, causes, and presentations of the organizational inertia. Overcoming organizational inertia through strategic alliances may allow organizations to achieve expected changes in strategic intent.
Organizational inertia was originally a concept from physics. In this study, we have borrowed from multiple theories in an attempt to dialogue with the current research on strategic alliances. According to organizational ecological theory, organizational inertia emerges when an organization wants its stakeholders to continue to input their resources into the organization, and ,in turn, the organization must provide output that meets the stakeholders’ requirements regarding accountability and reliability. After repeated production and documentation, the organization acquires inertia (Hannan & Freeman, 1984). In a stable environment, an organization with inertia is efficient, low-cost, and automated. When the environment is changing, however, organizational inertia will become an obstacle for organizations in their ability to respond to external changes.
This study has several purposes, First, through the interviewees, who are key persons in dyadic (or multiple) partnerships in strategic alliances, we aim to investigate the locations, causes, and presentations of the focal organizations’ organizational inertia. Second, in order to analyze the process of overcoming the focal organizations’ inertia in a strategic alliance context, we aim to identify the routes, mechanisms, and characteristics of the strategic alliance partner that aid in overcoming the focal organization’s inertia.
Through qualitative interviews with the participating organizations, all of which have joined strategic alliances in the textile industry, our analysis focuses on the events surrounding strategic change. We explore the presentations and overcoming of the focal organizations’ inertia in the strategic alliance process. The findings of this study are brought into the conversation through dialogue with relevant organization theory.
From the analysis of the qualitative data from multiple resources, we put forward the following three propositions: First, the focal organization’s lack of coherence and synchronous change are the cause of the organizational inertia. Second, if coherence and synchronous change can be reached within the organization, organizational inertia can be resolved. Third, a strategic alliance can help the focal organization to achieve the coherent and synchronous change to overcome its organizational inertia.
This study makes several theoretical contributions. First, we find that the focal organizations inability to enact coherent, synchronous change is the main cause of organizational inertia. Second, if synchronous change can be reached within the organization, this can resolve organizational inertia; offering new information to influence cognition, incentives, resources, and capabilities are complementary enhancement mechanisms that can affect individuals’ decisions and actions. Third, strategic alliance through the selection of an alliance partner, a mirroring context, and an alliance champion can improve the focal organizations’ ability to access synchronous change to overcome its organizational inertia. When the partners in the strategic alliance have high reputation and capability, they will accomplish these mechanisms more easily. For the coherence of multiple decision makers, one partner of the strategic alliance must mirror the focal organization to obtain a better result in overcoming focal organizational inertia. Other, there needs to be a champion in the multiple strategic alliance who can to persuade people to alter their cognition, plan incentive allocation, integrate the organizations’ capabilities and resources, and so on.
The practical implications of this research are that it provides a viable way to overcome organizational inertia, as well as selecting strategic alliance partners and the mechanisms and routes of strategic alliances.
