The role of adaptation and learning of entrepreneurs in managing outsourcing relationships

The adaptation of entrepreneur and enterprise is crucial for a successful outsourcing relationship. Success of the outsourcing relationship depends a great deal on the entrepreneur’s characteristics. We divided outsourcing into three parts: on the decision to outsource, on the introduction of outsourcing as a specific process, and on the management of the outsourcing relationship.

Ethical preferences for influencing superiors : A 41-society study

With a 41-society sample of 9990 managers and professionals, we used hierarchical linear modeling to investigate the impact of both macro-level and micro-level predictors on subordinate influence ethics. While we found that both macro-level and micro-level predictors contributed to the model definition, we also found global agreement for a subordinate influence ethics hierarchy. Thus our findings provide evidence that developing a global model of subordinate ethics is possible, and should be based upon multiple criteria and multilevel variables.
